One of the funniest people on Planet Earth. AND, a great athlete (43 marathons in 51 days).

I thought Eddie was running for MP in Westminster?

Until an election (or by election) is called for Sheffield,, he is free to perform still.

Yeah, but there's been three prime ministers in two months. There could be an election at any time, including during his run. It doesn't really show much consideration for his constituency, or give anybody a reason to vote for her.

theres not going to be one because the controlling party would get wiped out in a general

Eddie Izzard uses she/her pronouns now, FYI

Oh, I did actually know that, but my brain forgot for one sentence and remembered for the other. I'll try harder next time, and think of "Eddie" as in Edina Monsoon.

For those interested, he has recorded the complete novel. It can be found on audible.com. Obviously this live adaptation will be a totally different experience, but for those who can't make it/want to sample before purchasing might enjoy it.

New York Times review, somewhat lukewarm I think. (gift link)
"Nor does Izzard’s performance, unlike Mays’s in “A Christmas Carol,” aim to make the story’s telling especially theatrical. By the time she reaches the second act’s dizzying tumble of action-packed resolutions, the viewing experience is less about being entertained than rooting for Izzard to cross the finish line with her assurance and charisma intact."
