I absolutely adore Suzy Izzard, but it pisses me off that she is walking around in heels like she was born with them.
I look like a newborn cow. All wibbily-wobbly, hanging on to whatever or whomever is next to me. I guess grace is not to be included in my description.
Love Eddie ❤️
Eddie, Suzy, whatever she wants. She’s my hero and has been since I was 12. (32 now) 🤪
I like him. He does as he wishes, male/female persona, doesn't demand anyone address him in any particular way or 'accept' him. Does loads of charity stuff. Living his best life regardless of others opinions. Crack on Eddie
He does…goes into women’s toilets despite being a man. Fine that he feels good then.
@@ObiePaddles I was about to say the same. I used to like him a lot but he's gone down in my estimation now. He thinks it's ok for all transgender women self identifying should be able to use the female toilets. It's a misconception that transgender woman are gay ( like men ).
Wtf do you actually thinks goes on in women's toilets...we use cubicles, we aren't all standing around flashing about our genitalia..unlike the so called hetero men peeing side by side into urinals or troughs. ..there used to be unisex loos all over the place years ago..having a deal of a wee is only sexual to the really odd weirdos and those who try to make it into that says a lot about you! And no I'm not trans..I'm a straight woman in my sixties who lives by common sense...
Edit..having a deal was supposed to say having a crap..love you tubers censoring.😞
@@ObiePaddles ah, didn't know that tbh
"My wife is watching!"
I died. Damn hysterical!
That whole bit is my favorite.
This makes for depressing watching from 2023... we've fucked up so much since 2016.
Ive always been attracted to Eddie.
SAME
Oh god, me too
Yep. 😂❤
@@tracygerman1702 Dunno why you made laugh so hard I guess because I felt the same in my heart.
Me too!
My sister brought home a copied VHS tape from Dressed To Kill and I’ve loved this man ever since.
Straight white guy from Texas who should have a gun, but doesn’t own any fire arms. But the trays are wet.
I swear to God, Eddie Izzard looks like Tony Curtis, if Tony put on makeup and lipstick. (Some Like It Hot.)
Yes! 🎯
Now that you mention it, I see it.
Eddie was one of the few voices of reason who was cautioning people having unthinking rabid vitriol against people like JK Rowling, saying that people were too quick to condemn her (and others), without understanding. And Rowling, in particular, was already vindicated, many times over. One just has to read her tweets where she lists all of the cases she was warning people about. Not about actual trans people committing crimes, but those predatory and violent, sadistic men who would take advantage of inclusive laws and even get themselves locked in a prison with women, simply by identifying as one, whether it's genuine or not. And it all happened. And then there are the numerous cases of girls and women who were attacked in gender-neutral bathrooms.
And in a small percentage of those cases maybe those trans people were genuinely trans and not just pretending - to game the system. In which case, it just goes to show that trans people are PEOPLE, and are capable of immoral deeds, same as everyone else. But, many trans rights activists (whether they're actually part of the so called "community" or are just desperate to be good allies) don't even want to acknowledge that they're capable of bad things, wanting to paint a rosy picture that is not keeping with reality. And Rowling's detractors won't ever see those examples, or they'll write them off as "republican lies", same as they do with the malpractices at gender-clinics that have left thousands of children with irreversible changes to their bodies that they regret. If they 'could' see through the fog of their own echo-chamber and see outside of it, they'd realize they've become an ideology that treats any disagreement, dissent and criticism with as much intolerance as institutionalized religion often still does.
Can you list actual verifiable evidence?
@@u4riahsc Look up the case of Isla Bryson, or the Tavistock clinic or the testimonies from detransitioners like Chloe Cole. The algorithm does a disturbingly good job of filtering information.
So sad that he's speaking of how society and governments were finally being more tolerant of LGBTQ people. And then I see the date of the show as April 14, 2016, just before the Trump cancer.
President Trump is greatest we ever had. No president is 'good'; all r criminals. But, President Trump is the criminal who helped us.
Before the trans shit hit and ruined everything
Did specify "the British people have been cool."
Why can't Eddie simply rule the world???? How wonderful it would be!!
it's absolutely true
That would be paradise!
Yes!
He is funny, smart, weird... I admire him. Courageous, generous. Seems very comfortable in their own skin. Not freaking out about labels. He/she is who they are! Would love to sit down to lunch with them.
Him not them
She is awesome! We need more Eddies on the planet.
@@u4riahsc she ffs. Im male, if i put a dress on it doesnt mean Im now female
@@spongebobsquaretits She wants to be called a female name, Suzy. It hurts no one to call anyone what they want to be called except a male fragile ego.
@@u4riahsc No it's *he. I don't entertain delusion personally. Eddie was and always is a transvestite - not a woman.
Two lovely beautiful people
I love you, Eddie! I love you, Alan!
I think Eddie is gorgeous but I grew up with glam rock in the 70's so some make on men makes me swoon. 🤣
That's a really interesting point. Some people are so triggered by his sexuality and gender politics, but makeup and hairstyles have always been forms of expression, regardkess of underlying reasons.
I think so@@danjames4086
Eddie for PM 💚
What a lovely convo ❤
Eddie, meet Terry Fox, Canada’s National Hero, ran a marathon a day on one leg for 143 days and raised millions for cancer research. His Marathon of Hope still continues with Terry Fox runs in thousands of schools and communities in Canada and globally every year.
Eddie is 3 times older at 61, I'm sure Terry would be quite encouraging and proud. I saw Terry when he ran. cheers.
We're all very proud of Terry Fox, for sure.
I like walking but unless there’s a tea room every few miles I lose interest. 27 marathons in 27 days is a feat I can’t even fathom. Bravissimi
He’s himself and that’s what counts. We need to care less about titles and sexuality these days the whole thing is crazy boring.
Ignore the transphobic trolls. Not worth anybody's time.
Eddie Izzard has always been so amazing, I wonder if Dame Edna interview Eddie, I need to research that. that would be the interview of a lifetime!
She's nothing short of iconic.
The word tolerance is banned from my office. Much better to focus on celebrating differences and inclusion
I think I see the logic in that, tolerance implies resistance or some such, but celebrating differences will help understanding and inclusion is like tolerance but less adversarial
" you're just being surreal you are Eddie.." Lol
what a top bloke. no fussing, just gets on with it.
Suzy!!! ❤
Have always enjoyed Eddie. He lives his life authentically. And he proved that you can be whatever you choose to be. And you can do it without cutting down others. And still raise money for the people who need it.
I like Izzard and agree that he's an exceptional human being for the effort he's put into helping so many needy people.
However, try saying _'you can be whatever you choose to be'_ to the victims of rapists, perverts and chauvinists who 'choose' to be women in women's spaces. Try telling that to the many women and girls who are beaten in competition by physically superior males in the sports they've dedicated their lives to, for instance.
If Eddie Izzard chose to totally change 'her' career and became a professional marathon runner, she would probably not be close to number one, but would certainly do a heck of a lot better in the women's comp than the men's! A heck of a lot better (even with age disadvantage)! We all know this.
I don't bare any ill will toward anyone who can't change the way they feel. But when the right of one person or group supersedes that of another, that's a problem. That's pretty simple and rational in my opinion, the solution is less simple, because the problem is extremely complicated. But surely the solution is not so childishly simple as _Anyone should be able to be whatever they choose to be'._
That's ridiculously infantile. The puerile way people simplify very complex issues astounds me sometimes!
TLDR Either respect the CLEAR difference between men and women (there is a distinction in the words/language because it reflects reality). Or let men take over completely. I prefer the former and I'm not even a feminist!
@@carlhartwell7978
Dude CHILL. Carl get out of the dark ages. I said I enjoy Eddie and his sense of humor and his acting skills. The fact he chooses to wear high heels and lipstick is fine with me. His desire to wear high heels and lipstick doesn’t mean he is trying to win a gold medal at the Olympics as a woman. I don’t know what his sexual orientation is. And to be perfectly honest I don’t really care because it’s not any of my business. I really don’t think he’s a man who dresses feminine because he wants to go to the ladies room to rape them. Being Transgender isn’t about wanting to pull a fast one on the sex that they are transitioning into. It’s about feeling like they are in the correct body they were meant to be. A baby girl can be born with to much testosterone but she never grew her penis and testies. You see EVERYONE in the uterus is female. And then during the duration of the pregnancy their vagina either stays a vagina Or it grows into a penis. No Transgender Woman are going into ladies rooms to rape unexpected women. Believe it or not. Trans people have to urinate and have bowel movements to. And a transgender man walking into a men’s room is scary. Because believe it or not he is more likely to get raped than a straight woman in a ladies room by a trans woman . Or a transvestite or Drag Queen. Because transvestites and Drag Queens are GAY. A woman doesn’t have the sex organs they prefer. Again Get out of the dark ages Carl.
He has told the interviewer in many interviews he prefers the pronoun "she"......but this was 6 years ago.....
I don't understand how it's physically possible for a single human to run anywhere in the sperian of that long. It doesn't make sense to me. Even at the peak of being in the best shape of my life, I could run maybe 10 minutes without until I was so depleted of energy and legs were wobbling where I almost fell on my face and passed out. I don't understand being able to run longer than 30 minutes and even that is psychotic
Eddie is on point..there is nothing so boring as your sexuality. Nobody cares except your partner. The point is :what do you do beyond/outside of that? but it the answer is 'nothing' or 'something' both are fine. It's really all up to you.
It's rather like our job or profession. It's standard small talk to strangers..'And what us it you do?'.
Most people just say what earns them money, when in reality this might have bugger all to do with their identity and passions/hobbies.
I live Eddy/Suzy for this...the gender politics are important, but he has so much more fun stuff to say.
Both beautiful funny human beings ❤❤❤
Didn't u have Eddie on after his last run of marathons?
That was even more impressive that this one.
He's a force of nature. I M P R E S S I V E !!
Mad respect for Eddie
Love you two ❤
He always ends up looking like your mad Aunty.
Love Eddie 😀 She should have been on cover of Vogue b4 that poser Harry Styles.
Eddie, circa 2016: It's getting better for LGBTQIA+.
2023: Hold my beer...
Right? I didn’t realize the original date until that part and I was like oh no do I have some bad news for you
TQ+ force-team with the LGB despite saying same sex attraction isn’t real and gay boys and lesbian girls are in the wrong body. They force-team because people aren’t aware of the homophobia, misogyny and fascism inherent in gender ideology.
Its so true, and soooooo sad.
Especially in the States. I am non-binary and an American. It's not safe. People are being killed and discriminated against all the time. Families are being forced to leave homes like refugees of war to obtain medical care for children. It's a national state of emergency.
And it's because of people like HIM.
He is very individual an origional .
Both these guys are just great... Eddie is who he is ...and does loads for charity ... fab guys
How is it possible that someone can make me feel like I'm about to spew my guts up? Eventhough I don't know him,or ever met it before in my life?.
Well apart from America, they’re definitely not getting more tolerant 😬
I wouldn't stick with that "Sally Jessy Raphael" look Eddie.
My son’s theatre at college was named after Eddie Izzard and I think he lives near me in the East Sussex area as my brother met him in a pub one night and seemed like a local, meads?
Oohh I'm coming over
Eddie is a great HUMAN
Love Eddie ...epic energy
He I so good in everything he acts in but my favorite was his small role in Across the Universe.
Alan you're done and you're dry? Couldn't have been much fun for the ostrich.
Two of my favourite British comedians ❤❤
Marathon madness! Good for them! 27 days?
I thinkEddie is fab xx 💕
I like him thnk hes amazing but hes not a she
Ya ya, who cares, like really who cares.
Bloke who admits to terrifying teenage girls in women’s toilet when he violated their boundaries. He’s a man.
Rock on, Eddie! America sends love.
Geesh. Eddie is a tough old bird!
Eddie's extremely likeable. I always just assumed he was married (to a woman) with kids and was doing the transvestite thing as a side hustle like Dame Edna.
he was. then he jumped on the gender-woo-woo bandwagon and started to think he could use the women's toilets. says he's 'trrans' but flip-flops with the pronouns so he can have his cake and eat it. narcissist of the first order. now extremely unlikable.
@@carltaylor6452 Eddie came out in 1985 and first show was in 1987 so you're just a fulltime hater.
@@AxeMan808 🤣 came out as what in 1985? He was a celebrated transvestite. Nothing wrong with that. He's either straight or bisexual - nothing wrong with that either. Today he identifies as a woman. Nothing wrong with that either, necessarily. However, he wants to use women's single-sex spaces to fuel his delusion. *Everything* wrong with that. Are you a fulltime hater of women, AxeMan?
@@carltaylor6452didnt read Eddie's book did you?
9:35 we are definitely supposed to keep moving, but also supposed to die around 35 so we can’t have it all ways, we’ve sacrificed our health for a longer life in general, pick your poison really
Eddie Love u
Seems modest too
Always loved Eddie 😍
I’ve been a mega-fan of Eddie since first seeing their comedy, and that has absolutely never changed! (I’ve known trans people for ~25 years so that definitely wouldn’t have been any kind of reason to change my opinion of her… but admittedly her endorsement of various less-progressive or left-wing Labour administrations have tested me! 😬)
A person living their life and being true to who they are, while also doing incredible things like running 27 marathons in 27 days… we love to see it! 👏🙌😍
everyone ignored the Panama Papers now we have a world wide fascist network sharing funds to help other fascists worldwide attain power. Well done people.
What Eddie has done is amazing ❤well done 🫶🏻xx
-- Eddie is my new favorite name for Tragically Fantastic FemFairytales
"Cake and Television". There ya go Eddy. Title of your own show. No charge from me to you.
Eddie cringing at the film being pulled up - Is everything. Like omg I feel this.
So stunning so brave-God truly broke the mould when he created Eddie-he is Jesus reincarnated. Probably the greatest human to have ever bestrode this planet-we are truly blessed!
🤣 I love the sarcasm! 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sally is an amazing talent.
Susan?
Suzie
It’s ‘death or cake’ eddy, massive respect..
You made me tolerant! Never heard of trans before.
MY GOD, Pink's looking rough!
Bi now gay later. Holy crap that’s good.
Step aside ladies. Men have arrived to do it better.
Love them both so much 😂
Lies. In his early work he was strictly a cross dresser
6:32 makes me cry laughing every time
not loud enough ..cannot hear it...
Bi now, gay later! It’s got BAFTA written all over it.
A seven year old clip? 🤨
I just see Gorlworld DeeDee 😂
Two national institutions.
Well done Eddie.
He simply looks like someone's granny now. Honestly.
And what is wrong with that?
@@garrywallace1007 Yeah! What's wrong with that? In fact I think he looks like Tony Curtis in "Some Like It Hot!"
GREAT LOOKING GRANNY!!!
Eddie Izard -he's a great bloke
You = terrific ass
Women have appropriated male roles, I am thrilled and empowered by folk such as Eddie Izzard. Janet Frame wrote so fearlessly 14:38 and Eddie tells us 'get the skeletons out the closet and give them a good airing' impressive permission to BE ourselves, there is NO other exactly like You, Me, Us...
Love Eddie!!
Totally not bored. Tell us more💥💣💥
Not my national treasure, what a nut case
Stay out of womans loos.
Suzy/ Eddie is welcome in my loo. I am a cis woman and don't understand the fuss. Trans people are the least aggressive, and the demographic by far the most victimised, and assaulted in a loo. I have seen the stats. Hetrosexual men are the biggest risk to women, by a huge margin. But obviously, not all hetrosexual men are aggressors.
@@daniellamcgee4251consent is not transferable so you bloody well don't speak or consent on behalf of women who do have a problem!!!!
Agreed. He makes my skin crawl.
Why should she
@@daniellamcgee4251 Then invite Eddie to your loo, by all means! But you cannot make the decision for all women and all girls though.
eddie is such a cool guy
That was hysterically funny. I remember Eddie saying he was going to run for London Mayor. Pity he didn't. We got Sadiq Khan.
Nothing to celebrate. Stay out of women’s spaces.
One thing I'll give him is he doesn't go overboard speaking in a high-pitched voice as most others do like the host there or overly flamboyant gesticulations.
What a lovely human being Eddie/Susan is! Looking fabulous too.
Eddie Izzard is a MAN who needs to respect women’s boundaries and keep out of women and girls toilets and changing rooms.
Respect women's boundaries? You know women whose boundaries are linked to public bathrooms? How sad for those women. At least, link your boundaries to your own bathroom at home, you sad women!
@@forallthestupidshit3550 Yes. My boundaries are linked to female only spaces, including bathrooms, toilets, showers and changing rooms. Women and girls have the right to single-sex spaces and if a man can't respect that right, maybe he should stay at home and not use public bathrooms at all.
I just love you, Alan!…and Eddie is fabulous!🤩
I love her
