Did they know how to laugh? 
Eddie Izzard Page 2
His marathon made for interesting TV. He did it all in a rather informal manner, yet still he succeeded. It's like the old proverb: "if you're going to do something really demanding, why not piss around a bit, you'll be fine".
I only watched the first 15 mins before falling asleep. I have a half marathon at the end of the month and don't think I can do it with as much balls as he had, and I've been training for 6 months.
Eddie izzard is fantastic on DVD But I went to see him live last year and I was really dissapointed, laughed about 4 times in the 2 hour gig.
In a list of top 5 comics I'd like to meet, He would probably be no. 1 just so I could ask him for my £30 back, or at least £25 of it.

Pakistan, actually.
As for Eddie Izzard: meh.
He has to get rid of the hand mic, he can't express himself properly with it!
I saw the documentary on him last night, very interesting stuff.
