From the Fresh Air Archive, Eddie Izzard

Because Audible was not granted digital audio rights to today's issue of Fresh Air, we have selected a great interview with British comedian, stand-up performer, and actor Eddie Izzard from the Fresh Air archive. Izzard has won over fans with his quirky comedy and his cross-dressing. The Chicago Tribune says, "Izzard lives up to his billing. He's very bright, very fast, and very hip." As an actor, Izzard has appeared in the films Mystery Men, The Avengers, and Velvet Goldmine. (Original Broadcast Date: May 30, 2000)
