Publisher's Summary
Get to know a national icon in Eddie Izzard's hilarious and dazzling autobiography.
Star of stage and screen. Tireless supporter of charity. Marathon runner. Political campaigner.
Fashion icon. Human.
There is no one quite like Eddie Izzard. This is the story of how she broke through.
Her relentless optimism has led her to always do things her own way, even if it didn't work the first time, and her incredible self-belief has pushed her to keep on trying, even if it didn't work the second or third time either.
Whether she was putting on teddy bear shows on boarding school beds or swordfighting on the streets of London, Eddie never stopped trying to achieve her dreams of becoming a performer.
Brimming with her distinctively surreal humour and disarming candour, Believe Me tells the story of a person who never took no for an answer.

WOW! ……. just WOW!
I’ve always enjoyed when my daughter plays some of Eddie’s vids on YouTube but have never looked his work up myself nor seen him live.
I bought this book purely because I’d had a laugh at some of his work and really did not have any thoughts on what to expect so to have found myself glued to it until the end was a delightful surprise.
I recommend this book to anyone who’d like to hear about how to keep a positive attitude at all times and hear a beautiful calm view on the people in our world.
For what it’s worth I read or listen to a book every three days on average and I think this may only be the second time I’ve written a review and this for no other reason than I got so much joy out of the book.
I hope any who read this and decide to buy a copy enjoy it as much or even more than I did.
Regards,
Mark
