Celeb Wwtbam Last Night. Eddie Izzard.

[SparklyKid]

What a disgrace of a person, or whatever it is. Looked ridiculous.

[sandyRoe]

But did he win money for charity? That's the important thing.

[SparklyKid]

He did get £125,000. Very odd character.

[Patsy33]

The person within is a great Human being. He is very popular here and abroad.

[Arksided]

I didn't see it, When it comes to Eddie Izzard each to their own and good on him winning that amount. His Star Wars Canteen clip will always be one of my favourites of all time.

Thanks for the heads up, Sparkly, I had missed the broadcast. I have always enjoyed watching Eddie on tv. I think "disgrace" is a bit strong but it is your opinion so fair enough. I gladly would cross the street to shake Eddie's hand, he has done remarkably well with his fund raising for a start. His change to cross-dressing has been gradual over the years probably to help our reactions! I find nothing to dislike about him.

On the other hand I would never watch something like RuPaul's drag race as I find that quite grotesque. I have enjoyed watching the likes of Danny La Rue, Paul O'Grady, Barry Humphries and even dear old Les Dawson as pantomime Dame. I think so long as there is humour in the act I can cope with it all :)

[Arksided]

Any excuse to post it again animated lego to his stand-up.

[tiggerblue10]

I didn't watch it but why is he a disgrace? What did he do?

[gness]

Great admiration for Eddie Izzard. Apart from the good he does he's so polite and non-judgemental. Rare qualities today, sadly.

[douglas9401]

He wore his hair up on TV, tiggerblue, absolute disgrace.

Should be horsewhipped forthwith and with gusto. :-)

[jno]

if you haven't got gusto, use bisto.

[douglas9401]

Oh, and panged.

He intends standing for election at the next General Election to become the UK's first transgender MP.

I think he's very odd - but I saw him in a television series recently and he's a good actor.

[-SharonA-]

I like him & he has done some good acting. I thought the guy that followed was not at all amusing.

[MargoTester]

A 'disgrace' who has raised more than £1 million for charity by running multiple marathons over the years . 27 in 27 days - 32 in 32 days - 43 in 51 days. A very funny person and a good actor.

[MissTerious]

So he is transgender now. I presume he has had some treatment because he looks just like
a woman. A smart business woman. His features are now softer and his mannerisms very feminine. We liked him as a comedian but went off him when he turned into a luvvie activator. And certainly don't share his politi cal views. Brilliant actor, but I don't like the man/woman

[TantP]

He is not a disgrace of a person, Sparklykid you are, for your ignorance of what he has done for charity if nothing else. He is a superbly funny comedian, excellent actor and has the strength of character to be who they want to be, despite bigoted morons calling him 'ridiculous'.

[choux]

Margo, I think I heard him say last night it was between 4 and 5 million pounds, amazing effort. As a UNICEF Ambassador he gets no fee at all and can visit many countries to help the children in need.

[TantP]

MissTerious, Eddie Izzard has always been open to being a Transvestite. This, of course, had nothing to do with transgender issues. Much can be done with makeup and I doubt he's had cosmetic surgery to feminize his appearance.

[tiggerblue10]

Oh, I thought he'd done something wrong!

So what if he's transgender, he can be who and what he likes. I think he's a great actor. And good luck to him if he wants to stand as the first transgender MP.

//he looks just like a woman. //

He doesn't look like any woman I've ever come across.
