Eddie Izzard is a British stand-up comedian, actor, writer and political activist. He's currently on a world tour with his show "WUNDERBAR" and can be seen in the US this summer.
Eddie Izzard is probably twice the man of most men. Headline of this video didn't mention that he ran 43 marathons in 51 days in 2009 & in 2016 ran 27 marathons in 27 days. Does standup in 4 languages. Good guy, super intelligent & so funny.
@@NPCHSN Women have performed them you are correct... but he is a man so I am comparing him to most men (& women) who have not run so many consecutive marathons plus also performing stand up in 4 languages. Don't be ridiculous its obvious he is a hard worker & should be credited as such. Sorry your panties got in twist.
If this is your first exposure to Eddie, please do yourself a favor and watch his special Dressed to Kill. No matter how many times I’ve seen it, it makes me cry with laughter every single time.
looooove Stephen Fry! would love to see Hugh Laurie on as well for different reasons, but I always think of those two together because of their old show.
You dont need to interview him , just let him say whats on his mind , not selling Joe short , I just dont want to waste time listening to Steven , answering questios from Joe !
This guy does what he wants. He isn’t yelling at people demanding respect and special treatment telling them what to say or call him. He just does his thing and is totally normal. What a badass!
@@WhatsTheTakeaway so true.. eddie is a real gem that way.. but she's also just a down right decent human being, which i love. she doesn't let transgenderism define her, which i appreciate and respect.
Eddie Izzard comes across as such a lovely person in this interview. This is one of the episodes where the conversation flows really well - one of my favourites.
What a strange way for a man to dress. Who gets up in the morning with the idea that THAT is appropriate. It's just in bad taste to be honest. Izzard needs to give him advice fast.
Oh I get it... you're low-key making fun of Eddie by making it seem like you're talking about Joe. And all of these "ready to be mad" people buy it! Hahaha brilliant!
"Do you have a flag?" Best line from an awesome special. Eddie is amazing and it's cool to see him still working. th-cam.com/video/uEx5G-GOS1k/w-d-xo.html
I'm very sympathetic to Eddie - have been since the 90s. However, 20 years on, he seems to still really, really need our validation, which is a little odd. I hope he finds peace in politics.
I understand his cross dressing way more than people who actually change the chemical makeup of their bodies...seems he is 100% cool with who he is and that's awesome.
I love how Joe often expresses himself in a way whereby he isn't entirely sure what he's talking about, but he is trying to understand and expand his awareness.
Joe is doubtlessly very intelligent and verbose. He has a tendency to change his thoughts/mindset depending on who he has on as guest. I don't mind. It could be him keeping an open mind, for all I care, but I have no delusions that he just isn't doing it for views and to appeal to as large an audience as possible. Again, nothing to take issue with. Love listening to Joe's pod cuz of all the interesting guests he has on.
As an American I was never given the wonderful gift of "Fry and Laurie" when it was aired, I became fans of them both organically, much later through Laurie's dramatic work and Fry's speaking/debating/activism.. I had no idea either of them were comedians (by trade, anyway) until I found "Qi" .. fucking amazing show, I watched every single episode in what must have been record time, and in the process of searching for more Stephen Fry, I found "Fry and Laurie" .. So good. so, so good. I was able to *ahem* obtain the entire catalog and it has a special place on my hard drive forever.
I first saw him on a tv clip and went immediately to order his comedy dvds. I remember watching him with just pure delight 😃😍 with my kid sister in the middle of the night at my folks house in rural Missouri. My old man wondered through the den and saw Eddie all decked out in sequins and full makeup on his tv and he was speechless!
@@YeIsBornAgain What did Joe not push back on? Did you stop listening or not pay attention when Eddie said he agreed the athletics thing is an issue and he doesn't know what the answer is?
@@YeIsBornAgainI get what you´re saying, however I don´t think the pupose of the interview was specifically to talk about the transgender issues; Joe was interviewing the comedian, actor Eddie Izzard who happens to be transgender and also runs marathons and wants to go into politics (which I think is really an intelligent move to help address the issues of transgender people in a very efficient way). It seems to me that the fact that they had a normal conversation like two respectful human beings helps people to see that in the end we´re all deserving of respect and equal rights, even though we are and can be all unique and individual. It sets an example on how to be decent to one another, especially cause Joe is such a manly man and that reaches out to all the guys who identify with him and tells them to be cool about differences. I thought it was very smart, actually to not dwell too much on the transgender issues, cause in this case it was more about showing how easy it is to treat one another with dignity and look beyond differences. We do need more interviews that talk about the need for equal rights and that specifically focus on all the issues that are daily faced by the LGBTTQ people, of course, but this was also a great move to fight prejudice.
I've barely started the video, but where are you guys getting that Eddie Izzard is transgender? Hasn't he always been a heterosexual transvestite (a straight man who enjoys dressing in women's clothes)?
The strong self-confidence and being so comfortable in one's own skin is an easy parallel to make, as well as both being very witty and engaging people
Saw Eddie live 2 times in the last year. First show made me laugh, and second made me cry. We need more humans like Eddie. And yes, Stephen Fry would be great!
I served 22 yrs in the British military - it warms my heart that Eddie says he would like to have served. Knowing what I know now, Eddie's Transgender issues wouldn't have been a problem. As long as he could get from point A to point b carrying about 60lbs of equipment and weapon, there's no issue. Eddie is a hard transgender individual - 80 marathons.......love the show Joe. All day...👍
I have been in stitches listening to eddie over the years.....but I have also always been in awe of him..... seeing him for the 6th time in Dublin in November..... hes a truly great human being
He fucking Hates America. He only makes movies for the money, he publicly denounces America in public in China he is sucking the Chinese governments dicks. He disowned his own son for smoking a bit of weed. He a Chinese puppet.
I saw Eddie on the “save womanby street” march in Cardiff a few years ago and really regret not having the courage to say hello. He’d be an asset to our parliament and the parliamentary Labour Party.
The best podcast in the world is uploaded for free everyday and all people do is complain about it not being live... first world problems like a muthafucka.
When something is edited it maybe the truth but is it the " Whole Truth" just saying. Because of this new policy I have unsubscribed and have only listened to short pieces of the new show's and I am fixing to bail on this one.
T. Truth actually, it was the best only because it was live and uncut. Now we don’t know how or what’s been self censored or edited. Now it’s just manipulated nonsense.
👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿 Awesome interview. I walked passed Eddie in the UK at a park, and as I got close to him I just smiled and just nodded my head in respect. The man has titanium nuts, I have massive respect for him.
@@markbuckley6952 no sure, his mate was recently talking about how he's not as "bad" as people think just yet. If he's able, I'd love to see the Big Yin on Rogan. The end of a leg.
Joe: Thailand has it figured out. Land of the smiles (not a direct quote) Thailand: Military Dictature, (very) ilegal to badmouth the king, harsch punishment for drugs (punishable by death), riots more or less every year. Tourist-thailand is nice though.
The slogan has history as does the reason outside of the capital voices are not raised. Not all language is spoken. Also it was the English that changed our dress; )
Heard Joe telling Santino about how mean the replies "probably" were about Eddie Izzard. I see nothing but love in the comments. Way better podcast than the Kevin hart interview
This podcast is important. I just had a conversation with my 16 year old son who asked why that gay guy is dressed like a woman. I told him that hes not gay, he asked whys he dressed like a woman. I said because it's his choice , he said but won't people make fun of him. I said Yes, but only the ones that are not as manly as he is...... took awhile but the message finally sunk in. Keep your heart and mind open, it's over in only a few fleeting years , make it count.xx
Respect.... THAT is how you have a reasonable, intelligent, and informative conversation about it while promoting understanding. If only the anti-trans, as well as the radical trans and SJW's could wrap their heads around such a simple concept. The world would be a better place overall.
@@brianjones8432 God forbid there's another war. The west would be crushed now. We're all weak and concentrated on boys looking nice in dresses. We'll be arguing about pronouns when ISIS finally sweep into western Europe.
@@aliboyaliman6207 No... Most of us just don't give a shit either way how others care to dress, what their sexual preference is, or what they decide they want to be. It's really that simple. I admire a persons bravery for being whatever they want to be and doing it without fear, so long as they aren't attempting to infringe on other peoples personal liberties. That my friend, is the definition of freedom...... Something I would gladly pick up a gun to defend if there were ever such an invasion like the one you describe. And I'm pretty sure everyone, gay, straight, trans, whatever, would be fighting by my side to defend that same freedom.
@@brianjones8432 I'm gay myself and I'm seeing our society become extremely feminised. Masculinity is considered 'toxic'. That's not so in China or Russia. We'd be fucked if a war began. Thank fuck for the nuclear deterrent.
Me and my mate were lifting a load of weed at dublin Airport and i spotted him, i said to my mate "Theirs bloody Eddie Izzard!!" he replied "Who the hell is Eddies Izzard... haha he was polite and nice and told me to make it a quick one when i asked for a photo which came out all blurry...but heck least i met him..
My dad and I would watch Eddie Izzard’s “Dressed to Kill” when I was little and it didn’t even phase me how he dressed. I love him, so intelligent and funny. Great job having him on 💕
i think the real reason is because when he goes live, he posts tooo many pod casts at once, then doesnt post for a couple days. especially when he was on vacation, he didnt post for a week or so. this way - he can rack up many videos pre-recorded and post 1 a day instead of 2 a day, so when he takes a break for a couple days he can still keep releasing videos. plus, itll be the same time every day for people to check it + hes getting more watch time on old videos because 75% of people havent seen all episodes
thats mostlikely why he took a 2 day break , then posted 2 MMA shows, then started daily podcasts again. he probably did 2 shows a day to scale up inventory, then he will be able to take more breaks & keep us happy with daily new videos
You may be underestimating jocks - maybe the stereotype isnt' that accurate. I've been at Eddy Izzard concerts - packed full of jocks and every other walk of life. Almost nobody cares if you just live you life and don't "rub people's faces in it".
@@jameswhite1910 fair point, but I'd say people's open opinion on trans is still pretty gross and binary (but perhaps I spend too much time on youtube and not in comedy clubs? Eddie's demographic are educated and affluent
@@loverainodie Media. Media, media, media. They TELL us who we hate, they orchestrate the divisions between us. But in reality, we all just want to be friends (or at worst neighbours who stick to our own side of the fence). #BoycottWoke #UnityIsOurStrength
@@jameswhite1910 agree but the reality is it works and people still have to egsist inbetween. I carried an end of school banner up to yr 6 and on route was screamed at for being a 'protester' as I'm brown with a banner - my nabours suck currently 😂
@@loverainodie Yeah, well, right now we're ALL wanting to see the rioters imprisoned for sedition - they truly believe that they are about to overthrow the current order and replace it with something more Marxist - BLM in particular. Sadly, this means that legitimate protests have been pre-empted by these #usefulidiots. And as you are aware, we do have a LOT of legitimate things to protest right now. I mean, if many of the protests are just cover for violent overthrow of the government, how do you know what's "war" vs "protected rights"? These people are intentionally damaging the very core precepts of a free society. Hang tough, next year maybe you'll be back out there with your school banner (or at least next year's class might be). Simple truth: when someone starts a war, we get martial law. And right now EVERYBODY is trying to overthrow the government.
I don’t understand people who get angry or leave abusive comments cause some guy decides to wear make up and a dress. I mean if it makes the guy happy and doesn’t hurt me or anyone else, then who cares what he does?
it's really silly, isn't it? transgenderism doesn't define a person anyway. eddie is so so so much more than just transgender including kind, clever, witty, generous, determined, brave, hard working, smart, funny, and just a down right decent human being.. what more can you ask for? he's (or she, I suppose huh?) always been eccentric, odd, and wonderful... but honestly, she's just entertaining as fuck. always love watching the standup specials.
@@jillybeangaming I'm not sure izzard identifies as a woman you know. Pretty sure he's open about being a straight man who likes to dress as woman. Definitely him in this case.
@@ratharyn1834 did you watch the video? :p jump in around 8:22.. I think that's where they start discussing it. Eddie is transgender. I always thought he was just eccentric and a cross dresser, but apparently he came out as trans.. he considers himself gender fluid really.. so idk whether he prefers he or she, since he has "boy mode and girl mode." but he doesn't seem like the type to be bothered either way. none of that really matters though because Eddie is still just a genuine, eccentric comedian and all around decent human being.. trans or not.
I've loved Eddie Izzard since I was a 9 years old. I'm so glad he is still such a positive comedian and I adore him. I'm also glad that the comments are mostly positive. What a nice conversation.
I was there in London when he finished the last marathon the first time he did it. He was amazing and took time to talk to fans while being in pretty obvious pain. A very good guy!
Totally, utterly, brilliant. What did Eddie say halfway through? 'Be brave and curious, not fearful and suspicious'. I'm stealing that and spreading it around.👍
@Macsen Wledig Do you know anything about that play? Or did you just believe what someone else told you to believe without actually doing any research? (I suspect it may be the latter!)
Eddie Izzard was one of the first comedians I fell in love with. Death Star Canteen and his bit in Glorious about not being able to use the printer were the best bits :) Love them very much.
I love his bit on the Irish cease fire talks. 'The nail is on the gun, if you could just sign the ......the pen is on the paper, it's not writing anything but if you just put down the gun...'

I can retain the information way better and I can keep my place wile reading aloud. I was a skeptic and called bullshit until I got tested and it blew me away. I guess it blocks certain colors of light that your brain cannot handle.
I saw Eddie Izard live when I was 16, wasn’t that into stand up comedy at the time (maybe being young your sheltered to many apart from the mainstream comedians) but Eddie opened me up to true comedy A credit to Britain and a legend of the game 🇬🇧 ❤️
That was a pleasant 3hrs, feeling charged now. Eddie Izzard left an impression of uplifting, endearing, witty, faf, humble and all round good egg. cheers
@@grizzlygamer8891 I'll check out Glorious. I damn near wore out the tap of Dressed to kill i have, haha ... Britain! what? what's that behind your back? oh just India and number other countries......
Eddie is by far the cleverest in his field. His comedy reminds me of the greats like Carlin. The topics he chooses show his knowledge in so many different areas, especially history. He’s so great 😆🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Jesus Christ really?? sort the comments by newest rather than highest ranked. And... go to JR's IG account and scroll through the pic of Izzard there and read those. I couldn't sleep last night through sheer despair for my species. Every 4th or 5th comment was either "what the fuck is that?" or "not watching this." I honestly thought we were past this.
I swear to God, probably the most interesting guest Joe’s had on. Ive always been aware of Eddie Izzard on the periphery, had no idea he was so eclectic(Jeez I don’t know how to describe him). I’m a big Graham Hancock fan, but as a PERSON, Eddie Izzard is just, like, he wins the game of life, please go on to the next level, thank you.
@@rochat I know just what you mean. I think it's something that experts still disagree over. It's clear that some people are in a body of a gender different than their brain thinks is right. The wrong body if you like. But things like gender fluidity I think experts disagree over. I don't know if anyone really understands what's going on
@@freedommatters3176 transexual is a man or woman who still enjoys the opposite sex while also dressing as the opposite gender. in his stand up special dressed to kill, he explains it. but I did hear him refer to himself as transgender In this interview. so I assume he has decided to actually complete the gender swap.
@@arianajessie420 hmm. A transvestite is someone that dresses as the other gender. I thought transexual is someone that's in the wrong body. If they are in the wrong body and attracted to their original and incorrect gender then they would be homosexual following the logic they are in the wrong body..the confusing thing is when people say they are both genders gender fluid or neither gender. I'm not sure psychology and science understands yet.

@MMA Addict but why?
Saw Eddie live 2 times in the last year. First show made me laugh, and second made me cry. We need more humans like Eddie. And yes, Stephen Fry would be great!
If a comic made you cry, then that wasn't a comedy show.
Was the second time for his “Believe Me” book tour? Saw it as well. Excellent !
Dressed to Kill was the first time I seen his standup, I laughed so hard I almost died!
Tonto Epstein that’s not true. However, you can cry from laughter so... your statement is false in more ways than one
@@jckast2550 Did you just tell a person his or her opinion/feeling is not true? Just how do you know this? Were you at their house?
My favorite man in lip-stick... but don’t let Robert Smith I said that.
Don't worry, I won't let Robert Smith you said that.
Your dad will be jealous now too
He really wouldn't give a shit anyway coz he's that cool
Eddie Izzard is a force of nature.
Loved, Eddie Izzard's character, on "Hannibal".
Was he buffalo bill in silence of the lambs too ;)
You fucked up your grammar there, kiddo.
@@goose33 That was Ted Levine.
Absolutely phenomenal!! He is such a high level actor.
He wan't in Hannibal, he was in Silence of the Lambs. Not the same movie.
I served 22 yrs in the British military - it warms my heart that Eddie says he would like to have served. Knowing what I know now, Eddie's Transgender issues wouldn't have been a problem. As long as he could get from point A to point b carrying about 60lbs of equipment and weapon, there's no issue. Eddie is a hard transgender individual - 80 marathons.......love the show Joe. All day...👍
thank you for your service
I'm American but still thank you for your service
lefu and Tylerp. Thank you, we all try to do our bit in different ways. It's what makes life so interesting.
One of the best and smartest comedians. As a generation x'er we have always loved our British sweetheart.
I have been in stitches listening to eddie over the years.....but I have also always been in awe of him..... seeing him for the 6th time in Dublin in November..... hes a truly great human being
INTERVIEW JACKIE CHAN!!! I want you to talk to him about all his injuries, stunts, and martial arts would be an interesting podcast
That would be dope!
Omg yes!!
Have you ever heard him speak english from his own mind. Not run lines.
He fucking Hates America. He only makes movies for the money, he publicly denounces America in public in China he is sucking the Chinese governments dicks.
He disowned his own son for smoking a bit of weed. He a Chinese puppet.
definty damn, really ?? Ima look all that up. He’s always portrayed in a positive way
“You have to be brave and curious, rather than fearful and suspicious.” -@eddieizzard @ 1:18:40 Holy shit, those are words to live by.
I saw Eddie on the “save womanby street” march in Cardiff a few years ago and really regret not having the courage to say hello.
He’d be an asset to our parliament and the parliamentary Labour Party.
Stephen fry and Brian blessed!!!!!! WE NEED THESE GREAT MEN ON THE PODCAST!!!!
Agreed on both. Stephen Fry is a fantastic idea. He has such a beautiful way with words.
You could just watch them on Richard Herring's podcast :)
Stephen and hugh. Would be great. Get the band back together again
Check out the Richard herring podcast with Brian blessed, brilliant!
Absolutely agree Tim minchin as well
The best podcast in the world is uploaded for free everyday and all people do is complain about it not being live... first world problems like a muthafucka.
True.
#facts
You're in the first world too buddy
When something is edited it maybe the truth but is it the " Whole Truth" just saying. Because of this new policy I have unsubscribed and have only listened to short pieces of the new show's and I am fixing to bail on this one.
T. Truth actually, it was the best only because it was live and uncut. Now we don’t know how or what’s been self censored or edited. Now it’s just manipulated nonsense.
Love how they can talk for hours and move from subject to subject without awkward gaps, just like friends catching up
I've never heard of Eddie but I'm now a fan of him.
👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿 Awesome interview. I walked passed Eddie in the UK at a park, and as I got close to him I just smiled and just nodded my head in respect. The man has titanium nuts, I have massive respect for him.
Billy Connolly please. Before his mind is lost to the ages!
This is exactly what i said to my mate when i saw Eddie was on!
He's far too unwell now.
Oh come on YES! Get Billy on there!
@@markbuckley6952 no sure, his mate was recently talking about how he's not as "bad" as people think just yet. If he's able, I'd love to see the Big Yin on Rogan. The end of a leg.
If he can't get Billy on he should get Kevin Bridges or Frankie Boyle
That's Eddie "I need to speak to your manager" Izzard to you.
I honestly thought that's who it was. So I was wondering what the hell Joe would talking about with them for 2 hours
😂😂😂
manager walks up
Eddie: "Good evening, you have a lovely store and I'd just like to let you know how happy I am with your service. Ciao!"
joe, thank you for this! eddie izzard was my gateway to stand up with his dress to kill show. having him here made my heart melt
Eddie Izzard looks like a blonde Tony Curtis to me
was about to say "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" but realised I was thinking of 'Some Like It Hot'. Haha
Ha ha so true it's the eyes
Omg he totally is! That’s fantastic.
Some like it hot
Yep!
Eddie Izzard looks like he could be Emma Stone's mom.
Daniel Cash That’s good.
Glad i'm not the only one who sees it.
*mum
More like Prince Charming wearing makeup
It's mam!
This might be the first time a guest has brought up tigers before joe
Alex Rogers this observation wins.
Joe: Thailand has it figured out. Land of the smiles (not a direct quote)
Thailand: Military Dictature, (very) ilegal to badmouth the king, harsch punishment for drugs (punishable by death), riots more or less every year. Tourist-thailand is nice though.
They smile for the money in thailand. Vietnam is the place to visit
@Ned Kelly agreed I have been all over SE Asia and lots of trips to Vietnam- In Hanoi they seemed more pissed at the French than the Americans
The slogan has history as does the reason outside of the capital voices are not raised. Not all language is spoken. Also it was the English that changed our dress; )
Dont forget the rampant pedophilia and sex trafficking.
@@malorie8557 and you know this how?
Heard Joe telling Santino about how mean the replies "probably" were about Eddie Izzard. I see nothing but love in the comments. Way better podcast than the Kevin hart interview
Read his Instagram comments. I think that's what he was referring to.
This podcast is important. I just had a conversation with my 16 year old son who asked why that gay guy is dressed like a woman. I told him that hes not gay, he asked whys he dressed like a woman. I said because it's his choice , he said but won't people make fun of him. I said Yes, but only the ones that are not as manly as he is...... took awhile but the message finally sunk in. Keep your heart and mind open, it's over in only a few fleeting years , make it count.xx
Respect.... THAT is how you have a reasonable, intelligent, and informative conversation about it while promoting understanding. If only the anti-trans, as well as the radical trans and SJW's could wrap their heads around such a simple concept. The world would be a better place overall.
@@brianjones8432 God forbid there's another war. The west would be crushed now. We're all weak and concentrated on boys looking nice in dresses. We'll be arguing about pronouns when ISIS finally sweep into western Europe.
@@aliboyaliman6207 No... Most of us just don't give a shit either way how others care to dress, what their sexual preference is, or what they decide they want to be. It's really that simple. I admire a persons bravery for being whatever they want to be and doing it without fear, so long as they aren't attempting to infringe on other peoples personal liberties. That my friend, is the definition of freedom...... Something I would gladly pick up a gun to defend if there were ever such an invasion like the one you describe. And I'm pretty sure everyone, gay, straight, trans, whatever, would be fighting by my side to defend that same freedom.
@@brianjones8432 I'm gay myself and I'm seeing our society become extremely feminised. Masculinity is considered 'toxic'. That's not so in China or Russia. We'd be fucked if a war began. Thank fuck for the nuclear deterrent.
Keep it up, Optimal. Maybe your son's mind will open up so much he'll 'realize' he's a transsexual and ultimately become one of the 40%.
Me and my mate were lifting a load of weed at dublin Airport and i spotted him, i said to my mate "Theirs bloody Eddie Izzard!!" he replied "Who the hell is Eddies Izzard... haha he was polite and nice and told me to make it a quick one when i asked for a photo which came out all blurry...but heck least i met him..
I was introduced to Eddie Izzard years ago. This person is a role model for anyone regardless of pronouns.
My dad and I would watch Eddie Izzard’s “Dressed to Kill” when I was little and it didn’t even phase me how he dressed. I love him, so intelligent and funny.
Great job having him on 💕
he's your dad?
Hawk Sandwich no, my dad and I would watch Eddie Izzard’s stand up when I was little ^-^
Plot Twist: Jamie has been telling Joe the podcasts are being live-streamed but they are not.
He can definitely make more on his Clips channel this way 😉
i think the real reason is because when he goes live, he posts tooo many pod casts at once, then doesnt post for a couple days. especially when he was on vacation, he didnt post for a week or so. this way - he can rack up many videos pre-recorded and post 1 a day instead of 2 a day, so when he takes a break for a couple days he can still keep releasing videos. plus, itll be the same time every day for people to check it + hes getting more watch time on old videos because 75% of people havent seen all episodes
thats mostlikely why he took a 2 day break , then posted 2 MMA shows, then started daily podcasts again. he probably did 2 shows a day to scale up inventory, then he will be able to take more breaks & keep us happy with daily new videos
either im smart asf or wrong, crazy guess
Supermoney97 it’s to avoid some podcast getting blocked by TH-cam
would love to see Stephen Fry on
A
@Macsen Wledig There is something wrong with you if you don't like Stephen Fry. He's one of the most charming people alive.
I love how un-judgemental Rogan is. The positive impact he has had on the 'jocks' must be sizeable.
You may be underestimating jocks - maybe the stereotype isnt' that accurate. I've been at Eddy Izzard concerts - packed full of jocks and every other walk of life. Almost nobody cares if you just live you life and don't "rub people's faces in it".
@@jameswhite1910 fair point, but I'd say people's open opinion on trans is still pretty gross and binary (but perhaps I spend too much time on youtube and not in comedy clubs? Eddie's demographic are educated and affluent
@@loverainodie Media. Media, media, media. They TELL us who we hate, they orchestrate the divisions between us. But in reality, we all just want to be friends (or at worst neighbours who stick to our own side of the fence). #BoycottWoke #UnityIsOurStrength
@@jameswhite1910 agree but the reality is it works and people still have to egsist inbetween. I carried an end of school banner up to yr 6 and on route was screamed at for being a 'protester' as I'm brown with a banner - my nabours suck currently 😂
@@loverainodie Yeah, well, right now we're ALL wanting to see the rioters imprisoned for sedition - they truly believe that they are about to overthrow the current order and replace it with something more Marxist - BLM in particular. Sadly, this means that legitimate protests have been pre-empted by these #usefulidiots. And as you are aware, we do have a LOT of legitimate things to protest right now. I mean, if many of the protests are just cover for violent overthrow of the government, how do you know what's "war" vs "protected rights"? These people are intentionally damaging the very core precepts of a free society. Hang tough, next year maybe you'll be back out there with your school banner (or at least next year's class might be). Simple truth: when someone starts a war, we get martial law. And right now EVERYBODY is trying to overthrow the government.
He's such a loveable human.
I don’t understand people who get angry or leave abusive comments cause some guy decides to wear make up and a dress. I mean if it makes the guy happy and doesn’t hurt me or anyone else, then who cares what he does?
It's insecurity and self hatred.
And fear of their own sexuality
it's really silly, isn't it? transgenderism doesn't define a person anyway. eddie is so so so much more than just transgender including kind, clever, witty, generous, determined, brave, hard working, smart, funny, and just a down right decent human being.. what more can you ask for? he's (or she, I suppose huh?) always been eccentric, odd, and wonderful... but honestly, she's just entertaining as fuck. always love watching the standup specials.
@@jillybeangaming I'm not sure izzard identifies as a woman you know. Pretty sure he's open about being a straight man who likes to dress as woman. Definitely him in this case.
@@ratharyn1834 did you watch the video? :p jump in around 8:22.. I think that's where they start discussing it. Eddie is transgender. I always thought he was just eccentric and a cross dresser, but apparently he came out as trans.. he considers himself gender fluid really.. so idk whether he prefers he or she, since he has "boy mode and girl mode." but he doesn't seem like the type to be bothered either way.
none of that really matters though because Eddie is still just a genuine, eccentric comedian and all around decent human being.. trans or not.
I've loved Eddie Izzard since I was a 9 years old. I'm so glad he is still such a positive comedian and I adore him. I'm also glad that the comments are mostly positive. What a nice conversation.
he's severely mentally ill and promotes and encourages it so I'd say he's a piece of shit
@@Sanctifiers what did he ever do to you?
@@Sanctifiers Mentally ill would be one who posts the same comment all over the same TH-cam comments section. Are you infatuated with Eddie?
@@Sanctifiers triggered much dude?
@@Sanctifiers lol....Projecting your sexuality fears much...lol
I remember being a fan of Izzard’s acting career then seeing his stand up and being so initially confused but so happy I found him
Finding Eddie Izzard is like finding something valuable that improves your life significantly.
I was there in London when he finished the last marathon the first time he did it. He was amazing and took time to talk to fans while being in pretty obvious pain. A very good guy!
As "traditional" male who has a little difficulty understanding trans-gender, watching this and Eddie in particular was inspiring. Thank you Joe.
Kevin Richards well said. Same here
@MMA Addict username checks out
@MMA Addict Says the guy who likes watching men roll around hugging
@MMA Addict imagine being this much of an insecure bitch.
Totally, utterly, brilliant. What did Eddie say halfway through? 'Be brave and curious, not fearful and suspicious'. I'm stealing that and spreading it around.👍
"Be naive and blissful, not logical and rational"
Should be the correct phrase given what stupidity he was speaking about
You do realize he is trying to turn u.... Haha.
Eddie Bravo should "Look into it"
90% of the rogan comment board suspicious and fearful.
@@xwhite2020 HMMMMMMM? OF WHAT...…………………………………………….?
Definitely get Stephen fry on Joe, man is a national treasure
*global treasure ;)
Stephen Fry is wicked smart. Love that guy
Eddie Izzard is one of my all time favorite humans.
My god it’s been too long since I’ve listened to Eddie Izzard... this is gonna be a good show
STEPHEN FRY. NOW!
Also, Eddie, you are a legend....
PLEASE STEPHEN FRY
And your a bot .
What. A Frybot? Hah
Eddie Bravo was not present this time . Eddie Who ?
@Macsen Wledig Do you know anything about that play? Or did you just believe what someone else told you to believe without actually doing any research? (I suspect it may be the latter!)
Eddie Izzard was magnificent in the Netflix series "The Riches' . The whole show is wonderful !
Dude you're not even kidding. That was a great show, and Eddie was terrific in it.
27 marathons?? Damn that's full on... Big ups to Eddie Izzard
Eddie Izzard was one of the first comedians I fell in love with. Death Star Canteen and his bit in Glorious about not being able to use the printer were the best bits :) Love them very much.
I love his bit on the Irish cease fire talks. 'The nail is on the gun, if you could just sign the ......the pen is on the paper, it's not writing anything but if you just put down the gun...'
The food is hot
The Evil giraffe😂
Eddie Izzard is the only comic who can make ancient Rome and Greece, plus the Magna Carta..hilarious..my favorite
Buck Town I’m pretty sure the ancient Greeks and Romans do a good enough job of that themselves.
Ovid being an absolute mad lad 👌🏼

@@davidmilner5981 yes..i like colin, but he stays more on american history. But very funny
he's severely mentally ill and promotes and encourages it so I'd say he's a piece of shit
Immense guy. Total respect to Eddy izzard.
I am dyslexic and the biggest thing I found that help tremendously is Irlen lenses. It is a transparent color combination added to a pair of glasses or contacts and Amazingly it increased my reading speed 10 fold. I can retain the information way better and I can keep my place wile reading aloud. I was a skeptic and called bullshit until I got tested and it blew me away. I guess it blocks certain colors of light that your brain cannot handle.
The eddie izzard Star Wars Lego sketches will go down in history as some of the funniest shit I’ve ever watched, can’t wait for this!
That's exactly how I found Eddie 😂 back like 7 years ago funniest shit ever
"This is not a game of Who The Fuck Are You?"
This one is wet, and this one is wet!!
That's always how I introduce people to Eddie Izzard. Hasn't failed yet 😂
Do you peas with that?
Izzard is a hilarious standup. Wasn't aware of his marathons and disciplined mindset until this. Hat's off to you, sir!
@Macsen Wledig who hurt you?
@Macsen Wledig what did his nonce mates do to you?
@Macsen Wledig Only one way to solve this: CAKE OR DEATH?
@Macsen Wledig have you seen 1984?
I've admired his comedy, I've admired how clever he his (doing stand up in different languages) now I admire how determined and strong he is.
Jesus. I would love to have a conversation with Eddie now. How much has changed since this podcast.
I have a huge extra amount of respect for Joe doing the interview with Eddie Izzard.
Eddie Izzard's gonna break the Joe Rogan Experience record for women guests with the most views.
underrated comment 💯
Best comment
Reminds me of the Joe/Shapiro episode(?) where he said that Caitlyn Jenner was voted Woman of The Year after only being a woman for 6 months. Haha
Please Jamie pin this
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 men r the best st everything. Facts
I saw Eddie Izard live when I was 16, wasn’t that into stand up comedy at the time (maybe being young your sheltered to many apart from the mainstream comedians) but Eddie opened me up to true comedy
A credit to Britain and a legend of the game 🇬🇧 ❤️
Hard to argue that the British aren't the funniest nation on the planet. (not british myself)
"Brave and curious rather than fearful and suspicious" That is SO good.
“ I don’t know what you do with Buffalo, write to their Grandmother? “
That was a pleasant 3hrs, feeling charged now. Eddie Izzard left an impression of uplifting, endearing, witty, faf, humble and all round good egg. cheers
Dressed to Kill is still my favorite special! Dude kills it!
Dress to Kill and Glorious, definitely his best work.
@@grizzlygamer8891 I'll check out Glorious. I damn near wore out the tap of Dressed to kill i have, haha ... Britain! what? what's that behind your back? oh just India and number other countries......
Well after all that's what he dressed for

Eddie izzard was the first comedian I watched on HBO as a kid. And I've loved stand up ever since
Same
Sames
Eddie is by far the cleverest in his field. His comedy reminds me of the greats like Carlin. The topics he chooses show his knowledge in so many different areas, especially history. He’s so great 😆🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽
check out Rob newman's History of Oil - another 90's brit comedian who wears his brains and education lightly yet still blows your mind
dave crook I’m 2 mins in and I’m hooked 🙏🏽 thank you!!
In what aspect? You'd be surprised what comedians hold things like physics
Joe "the first person I've met who knows about about this" Rogan
These have to be some of the most positive comments I've read for a JRE guest. My faith in humanity restored.
I was just thinking that. We need more Eddie Izzards. He is very charming. He reminds me of my aunt that smokes cigars and loves Elvis lol.
Jesus Christ really?? sort the comments by newest rather than highest ranked. And... go to JR's IG account and scroll through the pic of Izzard there and read those. I couldn't sleep last night through sheer despair for my species. Every 4th or 5th comment was either "what the fuck is that?" or "not watching this." I honestly thought we were past this.
Don't jump the gun. ;P
Frick u wiener hole big head
@@cr0uchingtigerCouldn't sleep over some anonymous strangers' mean internet comments? Bubble boy drama queen.
I could listen to Eddie all day, three hours wasn't enough, I hope he's back again soon ♥️
"I'm a wannabe lesbian" Strait over Joe's head
You sneeze then your balls drops then your voice falls too 🤣
His wikis quotes him as saying “ I’m a lesbian trapped in a mans body” lol
I swear to God, probably the most interesting guest Joe’s had on. Ive always been aware of Eddie Izzard on the periphery, had no idea he was so eclectic(Jeez I don’t know how to describe him). I’m a big Graham Hancock fan, but as a PERSON, Eddie Izzard is just, like, he wins the game of life, please go on to the next level, thank you.
Like that comment mate, well put
I had no idea who this guy was before this interview. What an interesting guy. It was a very pleasant talk. Thanks Joe.
Dress to Kill is my favourite stand up of his. Amazing show if you want to check him out.
Same, I had heard of him but didn’t know shit about him. Definitely a fan now, seems like a good person.
you've seen him in Oceans series.
Probably one of the most genuine people in show biz
Highly recommend Circle. You'll die. Outrageous hilarious brilliant.
Anyone negatively fixated on Eddie's choice of gender is missing out on a very interesting person.
I'm just a bit mystified. Transgender Transexual. Same thing?
@@freedommatters3176 I don't know what is what these days. I'm fine either way, but the terminology escapes me.
@@rochat I know just what you mean. I think it's something that experts still disagree over. It's clear that some people are in a body of a gender different than their brain thinks is right. The wrong body if you like. But things like gender fluidity I think experts disagree over. I don't know if anyone really understands what's going on
@@freedommatters3176 transexual is a man or woman who still enjoys the opposite sex while also dressing as the opposite gender. in his stand up special dressed to kill, he explains it. but I did hear him refer to himself as transgender In this interview. so I assume he has decided to actually complete the gender swap.
@@arianajessie420 hmm. A transvestite is someone that dresses as the other gender. I thought transexual is someone that's in the wrong body. If they are in the wrong body and attracted to their original and incorrect gender then they would be homosexual following the logic they are in the wrong body..the confusing thing is when people say they are both genders gender fluid or neither gender. I'm not sure psychology and science understands yet.
Eddie Izzard is great. I would have never known that. JRE. Another insane interview.
This reminds me of the time I ran 2 marathons in 365 days.
Johnny Mnemonic 1 marathon in 36500 days is still impressive
‘Cake or Death’ Eddie Izzard. Hilarious in any language you hear him in. One of the Best. Good interview.
Hello there, Church of England, tea and cake or death?
"So many things need an ego to do."
