Eddie Izzard has been a stand-up comedian for over 30 years and regularly sells out the
biggest venues, including the Hollywood Bowl. I´ve seen one of his live shows and they are
hilarious. He loves experimenting with language and also delivers whole performances in
French. The touring show Force Majeure has taken him to 25 countries around the world.

Not only that, but he has acted in many films and plays, and often appears on TV. The most
impressive thing about him is the way he raises money for charity. For example, for Sports
Relief, he spent seven weeks running marathons, covering more than 1100 miles across the
UK with only one day off each week! Even though he had very little training beforehand, he
somehow managed to keep going, in spite of being in serious pain at times.

That´s why I respect him so much. Nothing is too challenging for him, from facing a huge live
audience to the physical strain of marathon running. He received an Outstanding Lifetime
Achievement Award from Harvard University, where he was described as an outstanding
member of global society.
