Izzard uses a stream-of-consciousness delivery that jumps among topics, saying in a 2004 interview with The Guardian, "It's the oral tradition. She speaks French and has performed stand-up shows in the language from 2014 she began to perform in German, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic, languages that she did not previously speak. In 2000, for her comedy special Dress to Kill, Izzard won two Primetime Emmy Awards: Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program and Outstanding Writing for a Variety or Music Program, while the special was nominated for Outstanding Variety, Music, or Comedy Special. Izzard's 'big break' came in 1991 after performing her "Raised by Wolves" sketch on the televised "Hysteria 3" AIDS benefit. She refined her comedy material throughout the 1980s, and in the early 1990s began earning recognition through improvisation, in part at her own club, "Raging Bull" in Soho. In 1987, she made her first stage appearance at the Comedy Store in London. She then moved her act to the stand-up comedy venues of Britain, the first gig being at the Banana Cabaret in Balham, London. She says that she developed her comedic voice by talking to the audience while doing solo escape acts. After splitting with Ballard, she spent a great deal of the early 1980s working as a street performer in Europe and the United States. After leaving accountancy, Izzard and Ballard took their act to the streets, often in Covent Garden. Izzard began to toy with comedy at the University of Sheffield with student friend Rob Ballard. She has said that she knew she was transgender at the age of four, after watching a boy being forced to wear a dress by his sisters, and knew she wanted to be an actor at the age of seven. Following their mother's death, Izzard attended St John's School in Porthcawl, Mid Glamorgan, St Bede's Prep School and Eastbourne College. She and her brother built a model railway to occupy their time while their mother was ill (it was donated to Bexhill Museum in 2016). Her mother died of cancer when Eddie was six and her brother, Mark, was eight. The family then moved to Wales, where they lived in Skewen. When she was one year old, the family moved to Northern Ireland, settling in Bangor, County Down, where they lived until Izzard was five. Izzard's mother was a midwife and nurse and her father was an accountant who was working in Aden with British Petroleum at the time of her birth. The family name is of French Huguenot origin.
Įddie Izzard was born on 7 February 1962 in Aden, Aden Colony (now Aden, Yemen), the child of English parents Dorothy Ella Izzard (1927–1968) and Harold John Michael Izzard (1928–2018). Izzard is genderfluid and has said she prefers she and her pronouns, but "doesn't mind" he and him. A dedicated Labour Party activist, she twice ran unsuccessfully for the party's National Executive Committee but temporarily joined as runner-up after Christine Shawcroft resigned in March 2018. Regularly performing in French, among other languages, Izzard is an active supporter of Europeanism and the European Union. In 2016, she ran 27 marathons in 27 days in South Africa in honour of Nelson Mandela, raising £1.35 million. In 2009, she completed 43 marathons in 51 days for Sport Relief despite having no history of long-distance running. Among various accolades, Izzard won two Primetime Emmys for Dress to Kill and was nominated for a Tony Award for her Broadway performance in A Day in the Death of Joe Egg.
