Eddie Izzard

Eddie most recently performed her one woman show HAMLET in London following a sold out run in the US.

She previously performed her critically acclaimed one-person show GREAT EXPECTATIONS after its transfer from Broadway to London's West End for a limited 6-week run at the Garrick Theatre.

Already one of the most celebrated comics of her generation, Eddie has also developed an equally stellar reputation as a film, television, and stage actress.

Highlights from Izzard's film career include SIX MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT opposite Judi Dench, Stephen Frears' VICTORIA AND ABDUL, OCEAN'S THIRTEEN, and VALKERIE.

Recent TV include KAOS (Netflix), CULPRITS (Disney+), HANNIBAL (NBC), STAY CLOSE (Netflix), and UNITED STATES OF TARA (Showtime), amongst many others.

Her stage appearances include A DAY IN THE DEATH ON JOE EGG, for which she was nominated for a Best Actor Tony Award, STRIPPED, and FORCE MAJEURE.
