Eddie Izzard | The Tommy Tiernan Show

[@rhobatbrynjones7374]

The more I see of Tommy Tiernan, the more I respect and like him.

[@elsmerdinsmore6018]

Two kind, intelligent and funny people having a chat. A rare treat

[@oneworldfamily]

I've always found that one of the reasons I love Eddie so much is his pure sincerity. It makes him easier to love.

[@petergilbert7106]

Holy crap. How do you not feel loved? I have loved you for about twenty five years. It doesn't matter to me how you identify, I just love your persepctive, your humour, your world view. You are a national tresure.

Suzy / eddie is a beautiful human. Ultra marathon runner for charities, performs their standup in the language of the audience, sharp as a whip and can rock killer heels. I will always adore them

[@AndrewWilliams-ry6tb]

[@victoriagonzalez5774]

Does he go by Suzie as well as Eddie?

[@AndrewWilliams-ry6tb]

@@victoriagonzalez5774 Yes. And neither of them are funny.

@@AndrewWilliams-ry6tb Ní mar sin! No so! He might be too much for some straight men, but he's still the same fella underneath it all. I like him.

[@Iloveflowers2024]

The words They and Them is used in the singular when referring to a person that is not known or identified. It's basic grammar that is used every day. Eg. Jack: "Who does this phone belong to?" Jill: "There was someone here earlier on, maybe it belongs to them" Jack: "I saw a person skateboarding on the street but they are not there now" Jill: "I wonder where they went" ​@@AndrewWilliams-ry6tb

Hahaha, brilliant suggestion

[@tastewithjase]

Eddie is an artistic genius. He is on a different plane.

[@LaurenWoodrow-Kelly]

Great interview, cheers Tommy. Suzy is a delight; reckon she's more a philosopher/historian to the core, and that is what makes everything she does so emphatic and wonderful. She's also rather correct about people, and losing your parents, esp. your mother, and how that has an effect on relationships and friends after that - it's very hard to ever really trust yourself, or others, again.

[@distant2soul]

This was amazing clip, being on the edge like this where they don’t know where it’s going. Eddie Izzard and Tommy top form

[@x941]

Two lovely fellas; each an inspiration!

[@SeeChelleFilm]

"I like doing postitive things that are difficult" Oh I love how intently Tommy is listening to him, clearly also in awe as well and Eddie puts so much thought into every answer i feel like we're all drooling on every wordd too. What a lovely interview, rhanks Tommy!!

[@Crossword131]

I'm American. I married English. We used to get hammered and go back to the flat and put on The Definite Article, et. al. in Harrogate. I'll admit it was the late 90s/early 2000s and the first 3 min I saw him had me confused. After that, I've been a lifelong fan. I think Eddie changed the world for a lot of people.

[@lallyoisin]

I wonder how many people have come on Tommy's show and said after "ah f#@k it - I forgot to plug my show!" Eddie is a gem.

[@lovelyskull3483]

Amazing interview. Thank you Tommy. I wish I knew you both.

This is great thank you. I did not realise the premise of the show, I shall watch them even more now. Thank you

[@Generalindifference]

It really is great,regularly a random non celebrity on as a guest and usually more interesting than the celebs,this was a good interview aswell tho

[@finjibuns]

Top interview. Loved Eddie since I was in my early teens. Own all his standup DVDs apart from the elusive live at the ambassadors. Seen him live manu times and even my usernames and emails since I was at college are Izzard inspired. I'll occasionally encounter someone who's aware of the name. 😀

[@suecastillo4056]

I LOVE these two wonderful people!!! And add John Mullaney in there? None better than that!!! National treasures all!!! I laugh myself silly behind their fabulous and wise humor…OMG!!! I start laughing just seeing their faces knowing what’s coming… so gifted these♥️‼️🤪☮️🙋‍♀️⭐️🥰

Tommy killed htis interview, he draws a lot out of Eddie. Eddie looks on the verge of tears . . .

Oh Look, two people talking and being positive and not trying to pull each others lungs out and play them like Bagpipes, wonders will never cease. Lovely interview.

[@jamesthecat]

That's not true though, is it? If he just sat there with a glazed expression and hardly said a word people would soon go off him. He's talking realistically here about improvisation, which is good, because Stewart Lee (way back in the 1990s) talked about his thing of going 'errrrr' all the time, which made it seem like he'd just thought of something that he'd actually written and rehearsed. If people were honest, they'd admit that a lot of their love for him was really their projected fantasy of being so 'spontaneously' and 'effortlessly' funny with their friends. I still think he's really funny, but it's just good observational humour, and that should be enough.

[@iamlalapalooza]

you know, eddie, is it okay i address eddie in here? lol anyway... eddie, i have always just loved you.. even when i am dull and sad YOU can make me laugh and most of the laugh is joy that there is something funny, afterall!! yeah. and with this interview ohhh so great, i was having trouble following your dialogue and then you mentioned alan rickman, who i just love too.. but he died. ..and i miss him.. sure i can see his work but.. never live on stage and never him still being .. a r o u n d. and then and theeennn you reached in to shake tommy's hand and as you two shook hands, you kind of semi winked and smiled and tilted your head and I SAW ALAN AGAIN! so thank you thank you for being so sensitive and open to whatever wants to happen that you brought alan to us !! :' ) thank you! and iti is nice to see you again, too... i havent seen you in a while.

@@AndrewWilliams-ry6tb That would be over-simplistic as many factors influence someone's personality. But I think it is a key factor. To have lost his mother at such a young age must have been traumatic.

@EireForUs Because Tommy obviously doesn't have a problem with accepting Eddie as they are and not judging. Eddie or Suzy, I don't care. What does it matter. They're a person, a human being. NOT a thing. Please don't refer to a person as a thing. That's such a disgusting attitude and hateful. I love Eddie, and always will. I don't care how he or she wants to presents him/herself. I don't give a shit how someone looks and how they dress. If they're a decent, lovely person then that's all that matters. I went and spent my money to go and see Eddie live, just this week. She looked fabulous, was intelligent and funny as hell. Eddie, has tons of friends and supportive fans and does a lot for charity And raises tons of money for charity. You live your life, and don't worry about what other people are doing. There's no need to judge or be rude about them. If you don't like Eddie, then don't watch and don't say anything. It's really simple.

so wish Ms. Izzards political career had taken off and hope it's not over...cos VOTE FOR IZZARD!! as surreal and tangential as they get, always making more sense than the (apparently non-comedic) politicians who're desperate for our votes and confidence. Eddie's had me convinced for decades that i want them at the upper echelons of political voice, but worry they'd be negatively subverted by those restrictions and have to leave all the good stuff behind.

[@youtubularTV]

Ah but where would we be without gossip like

[@conniegmarkie6599]

As a woman, I love myself enough to have boundaries. Having boundaries is not hate. Eddie is a man. Every time he enters a single-sex space for women, he crosses a boundary. Women are not here to validate your "girl mode" that you can slip in and out of. Women's spaces are single-sex for a reason and it is not our duty or burden to cater to the whim of your feelings, because you surely don't care about ours. Use the gents, no matter what you're wearing.

[@peterlarkin762]

100%. I can't believe we have to even remind ourselves of this basic common notion of respect and boundaries between men and women. That said I do not think Eddie has been said to or admitted to using female spaces. Eddie doesn't claim to be a biological woman at all. In fact I'd say he's on Graham Linehan's side. Hope so anyway.

[@willslingwood]

Defining a woman based on the genitals she had at birth is creepy, misogynistic and straight out of the patriarchal toolbox. Have a look at your life Connie, seriously, look at it and suss out for yourself who it is who is causing you suffering. I’ll give you one hint: it is NOT transgender people.

[@stephclitheroe2565]

"Women's spaces are single-sex for a reason". This is true in a minority of spaces. Public toilets, where there are individual cubicals, are not one of those spaces. The reason there are "men's" and "women's" cubicals is due to societal norms, not for safety reasons. If it were, you wouldn't get unisex toilets (ever noticed that disabled toilets are always unisex?) If I'm in a queue for a women's toilet and can see there's no queue for the men's, I will use the men's, because quite often the only difference is a sign on a door.

@teeees6455 no, I don't think so. It's definitely an attention thing. When he was getting maximum attention acting in Hollywood etc he stopped doing it. Once back in the UK and not as prolific he put it into overdrive.

[@RFC3514]

Video should be deinterlaced (or better yet, shot in progressive mode to begin with) before being uploaded to KZbin (or any other "digital" platform). Neither computer monitors nor phones are designed for interlaced video, you just get jagged edges whenever things move. Also, it seems this was shot at 25 frames per second and then (badly) converted to 30, so the result is that there's motion jerkiness in addition to the interlacing artefacts. Really should hire someone with a clue about video processing / post-production to make sure the video files work properly on KZbin. It only takes a few minutes to get it right, but you need to know what you're doing.

[@MattHunX]

I remember he also cautioned people who were too quick to mindlessly jump on the hate-wagon against J.K. Rowling. One of few. I didn't hear anything else from him on the subject, but he seemed like he was being level-headed, unlike most of Rowling's detractors and didn't want to immediately tar and feather her with charged labels that still don't stick to this day. The fact she was also vindicated in her worries about restroom safety is just a plus. She only continues to be a villain for those people who are too entrenched in their activism, who want to be supportive good allies so much they still rally behind vitriolic mouthpieces and will readily eat their own if anyone even slightly disagrees with them. Which is why it seems like Eddie is maybe keeping his head down, because he can see the irrational rabidness of the mob-mentality that has taken hold of many within the movement, and which makes any attempted discourse around trans a venture onto a minefield.

[@zorbathegeek]

Not really keeping his head down when he traipses about in drag demanding to be called a woman. Entitled and self-obsessed.
