Steve Bennett, Chortle, 13th July 2017Book review: Believe Me by Eddie Izzard
We get what's surely only a glimpse of how tough things must have been for him. But the message of Izzard's life is that self-belief and an unflagging work ethic can get you places. Though you probably need some talent as well.
