Last I heard he was picking and choosing at his convenience.

‘one woman show’ more exciting than one-man show perhaps.

He’s not that skilled - he’s never convinced me he’s anything other than a cross dresser.

A skilled and talented actor? I see no skill or talent in Izzard's performance of 'woman'.

personal = person

Takes a special kind of personal to perform a love story with themselves. Perfect role for EI.

Who the fuck knows. Or cares.

Ed will do whatever keeps Ed relevant. Grafters gotta graft.

Indeed. A very talented and very funny actor.

It's such a shame that Eddie, who does regularly change between "girl mode" and "boy mode" felt the need for any pronouns or pseudo biological description at all in this promotion.

It's a solo performance, where it takes skill to become each character, regardless of age or sex. The fact that it allows Eddie to share gender exploration as part of the journey could be a positive all round.
Instead, it feels like a hostile takeover of women's achievements.

See I’m sure that would be a very entertaining show - watching a skilled and very funny actor playing all the different characters in a well-loved, wonderful Dickens’ novel.

But not for one minute would I imagine that all the different characters were being played by a man who is, that day, deciding to present as a woman playing all the different characters. So when Eddie pretends to be Estelle, he is not a woman pretending to be another woman, he’ll, in my eyes, be a man pretending to be a woman.

And when Eddie pretends to be Pip, he’ll be an elderly man pretending to be a young boy (drawing upon some personal, first-hand knowledge of what that might feel like) I know Eddie probably hasn’t had first-hand knowledge of stumbling about foggy marshes helping out convicts but he’ll draw upon the actors’ skill to bring this all alive marvellously, I’m sure.

It’s all an act this acting malarkey isn’t it Eddie? Your comedic talents are brilliant.
