I cannot express how much I love y'alls leaving Izzard quotes like lines from Monty Python movies.
We have come full circle.
But do you have a FLAG?
Love you, Eddie!
Would you give him your child to play?
@@devilsfavorite999Yes. She’s intelligent, caring, funny, and would accept my child as is. What more could you ask for?
I would not leave my child with you. You would tell my child to change…
@@christiansebastianlauritse2404 no I wouldn't. I'm a gay man.
@@devilsfavorite999 So?? I am too.
@@christiansebastianlauritse2404yes, He is clever, caring, funny....He is brilliant!!! But, does he have ovaries? Does he bleed each month? No! He is not and never will be a woman. Stop that nonsense woke narrative...plus, he never asked for She - man is too smart for that rubbish.
the passionate truth Eddie spoke really touched me
'“Izzard is one of the funniest people alive, a talented actor, a sharp cross-dresser, an experienced marathon runner, and a great writer. ”-The Philadelphia Inquirer''
I remember a specific skit Izzard did when I was in high school. I still recite and act out some of the lines in front of my husband. He’s clueless but I can’t stop laughing internally. I love Eddie! ❤
"Cake or death!"
You're my kind of woman.
@@TayMcKenzieNZme and my bro have been playing that one for years
A fan since 1994. Own loads of books, vhs and 12 dvds and blu rays today.
Impossible to miss living in England in the 1990s.
I left my aura there.. 😊
Eddie, I love you. May you get the position you deserve, for I know you would do so much good being an excellent example of what a good human can do.
"Be brave and curious." Yes!
I have tickets to see Hamlet on my birthday!
It blew my mind 😊
@@francescazurlo3182 same!
Love Eddie! Either found her from Velvet Goldmine or her Dressed To Kill thing when it was on tv back in the day.
2nd time in 2 weeks I’ve been reminded of Velvet Goldmine! What a great movie. (at least I think so, never watched it close to sober)
“Her” haha
@@mikey2363people have lost their minds truly
Evil giraffe 😄
I have loved and adored Eddie since 2001 ❤
Omg yes! " I'm an evil giraffe, I shall eat all the leaves " * chews slow and obnoxious like a cow. Oh oh or same special the Hoover part. 💚
@@DancingOnGlass89So other giraffes may die 😂
th-cam.com/video/3J1rA29hVro/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Saw Eddie on stage in London many years ago. Phenomenal performer. ❤ (Also, the star wars canteen bit is one of the greatest comedy bits of all time)
Eddie is one of the GOATS! Such a intelligent and beautiful human being! All my ❤❤❤ to you!
I adore Eddie 😍
I will totally vote for you, you fresh, decent, integrity-steeped human being! Your comedy specials are great too…
and as a brit i can say we are serious about not having him as an mp. he has run countless times and got wiped out.
But you are not serious about being a well mannered human I see…
nor does he. and manners have nothing to do with it. sick of denying reality for crackpots like him. and he is a crackpot.@@christiansebastianlauritse2404
@@paulgrant666You're the one denying reality if you think that trans isn't real.
and i said that where? all i said was that no one wants him as an mp, he is pretty thick and has run and lost many times.@@SilverEye91
@@SilverEye91 You're the one denying reality if you arbitrarily ascribe pronouns, social roles and clothings to the gametes one produces lmao
I saw him do his stand up at the Leeds festival 1999 ish,... I think? Close enough,...but he was amazing, and clearly still is.
*she
Yeah,..my bad,..She@@TheRealDxK
He , it’s a man. If I identify as a billionaire doesn’t mean I suddenly have endless money
@@roaming.spectre.If you identify as a billionaire you would have to live your life as a billionaire for it to count!
Izzard lives her life as a woman. So what the problem?
@@christiansebastianlauritse2404 but he's not a woman it's a man in a dress
Eddie should host SNL
Eddie is hard with such an amazing actor. Riches was one of my favorite shows. 😮
Any time I hear Take the Long Way Home I think of that show.
One of the coolest people in the world
She is remarkably enduring. Her comedy started decades ago, and still she is in the public eye and remaining relevant. Makes me laugh when people say there are no funny comedians: Aisleng Bea, Eddie Izzard and (RIP) Joan Rivers to name a few.
She? It’s a man in a dress.
She has a lot of balls
Eddie is way (like waaaaayyyyy) better prepared to do something meaninful in politics than a "career politician" because she really cares about the people (not to mention being really smart and elloquent).
🎉Eddie is cherished dearly and so beloved!❤🎉Creative Genius!
Eddie Izzard is the best! I would love to see one of her performances or part of one with all these characters ..mainly because i can just see her doing it because she did something similar in some of her standup routines. I KNOW she is good at this! What a genius!
I’m just here for the comment section
The only person to ever transform back and forth, and killed it every time.
EI for Ursula on Broadway.
Eddie Izzard would make a fantastic politician.
He's exactly what UK politics needs most right now which are leaders who are honest and brave ♥
So stunning and brave! I'd like to see Eddie debate the likes of Riley Gaines lol.. He/she should stick to comedy 😂
Right about that scared and fearful point.
Go Eddie!
Eddie is a legend. Props to him for living the life he wants 👍🏼
Eddie you are definitely smart enough to be in politics. Smarter than most! ❤
I love her. She looks incredible. I really hope she gets in parliament and kicks butt.
Well, said. She is living her full truth . And she is right- living looking forward, with curiosity and working together is the best way to problem solve.
Going backwards in closed-minded paranoia and vindictiveness, will lead nowhere good.
❤
Whom is this her you are refering 2?
There is no such thing as individual truth there is "the truth" only they're living their life as they see fit doesn't make it their truth cause the truth is Eddie is a transvestite and decided to jump on this whole pronoun crap because it became popular
Eddie’s got an army of loyal fans and not just because of her comedy. I’d vote for her in a heartbeat. What a talent.
He, it’s a man in a bad drag outfit. If I decided to identify as a billionaire it doesn’t mean I can all of a sudden buy anything I wanted
He …that person is a he .
@@roaming.spectre. Why is it so important for you to be awful to people? It doesn't hurt you in any way to let people be themselves.
@@SilverEye91 look at the state of him, he is clearly mentally sick but woke acceptance won’t question it.
Also why can’t I disagree with how he looks ? Is it not a free world.
Can I walk around with a straight , white and proud t shirt on? Doubt it.
@@SilverEye91he thinks he can go into womens toilets - that’s not ok
She’s iconic
She’s a man
He you mean
WAIT aren’t we sposed to be callin her suzy ?! i prefer eddie too either way he/ she’s a legend !
I’d vote for her …..saw her in London 1998
her ? did i read that right ?
Yup. Goes by female pronouns now, though identifies as gender fluid and still keeps Eddie as a name that can be used as its recognized.
@@SilverEye91 huh ?
@@shutup2751 What do you mean "huh"? What do you not understand?
i dont get it, is he/her a man or woman ?@@SilverEye91
@@shutup2751 Woman.
More comedy Eddie. We miss your work!
Loved you since way back
Love this so much. Thank you for all you’ve given us Eddie.
It surprises me that so many are up in arms over this very talented person. I’d love to see her show but live to far away. She’s always challenging herself & it is inspirational.
He's a man
Her?
@@keithskegwin ask your mom to explain it to you after you've recovered from the shock
@@coosoorlog He's male. That's why keith is surprised. :)
Eddie prefers she but also responds to he. Eddie is also not upset and in your face about it like some other transgenders are.@@keithskegwin
Eddie is serious about his trying to join the UK Parliament, but Suzi is more interested in her career as an actress.
Go ed Eddie laa ❤
The most annoying part of portraying as a man is the superficial fight, where some inner being of other men will get in your way to prevent you from doing anything greater than they've done. It's a perversion of being man, perhaps even the original sin, and I've seen too much needless destruction come of it. I've little patience left for such nonsense and the TG movement is a counter force to that... thing, so I'm all in support because of it. Whether bloke in a dress or magnificent Ursula, Eddie has a heart of gold which shines through. Honestly, she should do a Little Mermaid style Wicked monologue show. She's got the look, and a little makeup would complete the image.
Woke nonsense
It's funny how it was okay when Eddie Izzard was a "man in woman's clothing," but the moment she says she's a woman, they gonna freak out.
I'd be fine with a full transition, just change her name to reflect her true self. She can call herself Izzy.
@@BlackHoleForge She goes by Suzy now
Excuse me, at the time she was an "executive transvestite"
Because its a man. Has always been a man and forever will be one. There's no magical potion that can turn you into a woman. You're born a woman you're born a man you can't change sex
@@BlackHoleForgeyou’d be fine!? Nobody asked bud.. who asked for your approval? lmao weirdo
What a bummer!
Thanks for your talent Eddie!
Finally funny women on tonight show.
King Henry viii talk about king Richard iii
eddie looks like Ursula from little mermaid
Absolutely love Suzy Xx
State of that.
I love Eddie so much. She gets more beautiful as the years go on. I love seeing her find her fashion expression ❤
Clearly a bloke.
He.. not her. He has a dick, not a womb..😂
No matter what look they go with, the hair is ALWAYS on point❤️ This cut/color is so flattering
What a speech! Thank you Eddie!
Love you, Eddie
Bloke in a dress! Bloke in a dress! Heh heh heh.
Eddie’s words. Not mine. 😬
You should have had a longer segment with him or two maybe. Such an interesting human. The marathons come to mind. Such persistence. Love Eddie Izzard
She looks like Ursula from The Little Mermaid
He
Somewhere Divine Is SMILING
It's bizarre how often the great comedians come to despise their ability to make people laugh, and think they should be doing something more important instead. Carrey's curse. I don't think we'll ever see Eddie as an MP - not without the support of Labour women, and many of them will never support a candidate who doesn't respect single-sex spaces.
eddie is gold 💛
what is this thing?
Looking forward to seeing Eddie in the new Hammer film as she plays Jekyll and Hyde!
Please interview Rachael Dolezal next
Are you HAPPY with your wash.?
Love you Eddie Suzy forever! ♥
Lots of negative comments.... understand people's reactions, but at least he/she/they are being honest about their sexuality, not hiding it or falsifying it to hurt anyone
No he's not...he's basically saying to God you put me in the wrong body...and that's not true.
Problem is. Is that you can't change your sex. It just doesn't work like that. Even if he decided to get a vagina. He'd still be a man. Due to the chromosomes in his body. No one seems to grasp biology anymore 😕
@imoor1 Oh shuttttt uppppp... You have no heaven or hell to put anyone in. Just live YOUR LIFE... Other ppls lives won't change your fate on judgement day🙄
@@imoor1what does “wrong body” even mean? All I see are clothes, make-up and hair. Suzy Eddie is gender-fluid. No need to change her body.
j'adore
EDDIE SUZY WE LOVE YOU
Is this normal? Agp
All his shows are amazing! Loved Hamlet!❤️
Disappointed she’s running to take the only Green Party seat in the U.K. parliament. She should standing in a Tory seat. A nasty decision.
Eddie wasn't selected to be Labour's candidate in Brighton, it'll be Tom Gray.
Stop calling him a "she".
I don't feel like they are a she. But I love Eddie. So I'll call her whatever she wants.
If you don't love Eddie, I'd recommend leaving. It's very dangerous for you here.
Or, apparently, Suzy Izzard. God (who doesn't exist) bless her.
@@PlayNiceFolks stop trying to act different with the whole "God doesn't exist." thing. please. let us believe in our religion and you believe whatever you believe.
He looks like Selma Bouvier.
Im covered in bees..
too bad this is a man
Can i move to England and vote for her tho
I absolutely love this guy. If you have the chance, watch his stand up specials. Genius
Really funny bloke
Thats always been her goal. If i lived in the UK she'd have my vote ❤
I sorta grew up watching her perform. I am so happy that she is still doing what she loves and hope she makes it in the political field.
Eddie is a legend!
I don’t know who he is, but I like him a lot! I’ll have to look up some of the shows I see in the comments!
"He"? She
@@Tradebear I just read an article with quotes of him saying he identifies as both…he’s fluid! He was born male and when he’s in boy mode, call him he and when he’s in girl mode call him her! He considers himself gender fluid!
@@Tradebear That’s a man, baby
Why not just let people live their life, why?@@Kevmaster2000
A very smart and well respected man; who is just a bit different from other girls. She prefers to be calles she but laso responds to he. She is very polite about this so why not indulge in her somewhat eccentric request to adress her with she?@@Kevmaster2000
🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 To the person reading this, even though I don't know you. I wish you the best of what life has to offer 🙏 🙌 😊❤
Do you mind?
Booooo
Eddie is cool. I'd vote for him, and he must be pretty intelligent from all his experience as a comedian. Good for thinking outside the box. He ran multiple marathons for charity, too. Nobody would be getting lippy wi this nippy sweety. Let them dig their own grave, Eddie. He'd be a great MP. Ruffle a few feathers in no time. 🐔 Inclusivity and communication are the keys. I forgot Eddie is bilingual too. Foreign Secretary or Home. Perfect. Or whatever Eddie wants.
If you think inclusivity is cool (yes, it is), it's interesting that you keep referring to Eddie as "he" when she has identified as female for many years now.
@anahata2009 Ooops. I thought he wiz a transvestite. Sorry. I am old and wiz trying to be cool and edgy. I am actually a massive Tory. Only in it fur the glory, I'm afraid. I will never use the term transvestie again. Boabydazler! Wit a nice term, he hud, btw. Good people. 🤙👌
Anyone calling him a "she" needs psychiatric help.
He's a bloke. Wtf
it's an insult to women to call that a woman
@@ExcitingBob 100% agree. If people think that's what a woman looks like they need their eyes checked
I know. His now transgender.
@@ExcitingBoboh so you're the Self Ordained "Defender of all things Women" now?... Nobody cares what u think of SOMEONE ELSES choice in life. We get one shot at this... Then we die. You shouldn't care THAT MUCH how others choose to live... When she dies, your opinion won't change her after life. Let folks be whatever they want.
You're just crying in a comment section. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@ChatBully87He not she. I remember, this dude is a guy dressing as a woman. Must be confused..
💜
“She”. 😂
Leave her alone !
@@tatum635 if that is a “her”, then what is the definition of a woman?

I know you're feeling lonely right now, so let's be friends. 🌚Loneliness can be a heavy burden to bear, and I don't want that for you. Let's be friends! I promise to make your day brighter every single day. I'll be a guiding light in your otherwise boring life. You see, I'm the new messiah, and I'll make you feel something special. My friendship will lessen your sadness and bring you good fortune. Our days will be filled with movie marathons and endless chatter. I'll never let you breathe on your own - you'll always have me by your side. My magical ability is to make you so happy that your heart will feel alive, and every bone in your body will dance and shake. Let's be friends forever, until the very end. Xo💋😇💀

Wait. When did Eddie become trans?
she came out as transgender a few years ago and before that identified as a transvestite. With time, progress and education that shouldn't be a surprise to literally anyone. She used to call herself a male lesbian. So being trans? Not surprising.
