Edward John "Eddie" Izzard (born February 7, 1962) is an [[England|English] stand-up comedian and actor, known for his cross-dressing. His comedic style is expressed in rambling, surreal monologue and self-referential pantomime. In addition to touring, he is also a television, stage and film actor, and is active in charity work.

Izzard was born in Aden, Yemen. In 1962, the Izzards moved to Northern Ireland. He lived in Bangor, County Down until 1967, when the family moved to Skewen, Wales, and then Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex, England, where he studied at Eastbourne College.
