Eddie Izzard (/ˈɪzɑːrd/; born 7 February 1962) is an English stand-up comedian, actor, writer, and activist.

She has also worked as a voice actor on films such as Five Children and It, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Abominable, and the Netflix original series Green Eggs and Ham. Among various accolades, Izzard won two Primetime Emmys for Dress to Kill and was nominated for a Tony Award for her Broadway performance in A Day in the Death of Joe Egg. In 2009, she completed 43 marathons in 51 days for Sport Relief despite having no history of long-distance running. In 2016, she ran 27 marathons in 27 days in South Africa in honour of Nelson Mandela, raising £1.35 million. Regularly performing in French, among other languages, Izzard is an active supporter of Europeanism and the European Union. A dedicated Labour Party activist, she twice ran unsuccessfully for the party's National Executive Committee but temporarily joined as runner-up after Christine Shawcroft resigned in March 2018. Izzard is genderfluid and has said she prefers she and her pronouns, but "doesn't mind" he and him.
