I think they said they're happy using both, but mainly using Eddie professionally as a stage name. I'm intrigued by the idea of the performance - how on earth will it work?!

EmmaEmerald · 15/05/2023 21:27

This looks amazing
but I don't want to put money in that person's pocket.

No thanks.

No thanks. Don’t want to be in the same room as this misogynist.

The 'About Eddie Izzard' section on the theatre page uses she/her pronouns, inspite of Eddie playing a role which only a woman with a penis would get.

Cos-playing femaleness without giving up the significant advantages in getting roles that comes with being a man. As my niece used to say when she was younger, 'Rude words... Ruuuude words...'.

ThatAbsoluteFkr · 15/05/2023 21:47

So he gets to use a man's name, keep his male privilege, men's wage, whilst posing as a woman, using our spaces but not actually having to suffer any of the disadvantages and natural stresses of womanhood? Well, he's certainly hit the jackpot hasn't he?

you don't mean this play? Anyone could do this. If only it was Jodie Comer! She'd be awesome at this.

SweetSakura · 15/05/2023 21:56

She's Suzy when it will garner a bit of press coverage and he's Eddie when it will get him more publicity that way.

Obviously means to wander into women's or men's toilets as convenient too, and women just have to accept that Hmm

littleripper · 15/05/2023 21:56

That person gets to be both and do whatever they want anytime, anywhere. Or you are a bigot. That's nice for them.

FancyFanny · 15/05/2023 21:59

He is an absolute disgrace! Eddie Izzard is the worst kind of misogynist- he wants to be privy to all that is female while at the same time giving up none of his male characteristics. I believe he's a total fake and using the trans card to simply gain fans by jumping on a bandwagon. Funny how he isn't prepared to actually have a sex change and swap his penis for a vagina or stop taking on highly paid male acting roles.

KnickerlessParsons · 15/05/2023 22:19

Annoyingly, Eddie is very talented and funny (when he's being Eddie).
There's no way I'd go and see him in anything these days though.

Better avoid the ladies toilets then 😯

ThereIbledit · 15/05/2023 22:45

I literally can't keep up with what this person is up to.

Callipygion · 15/05/2023 23:01

He’s a knob, or he has a knob. One of them. Or both.

Buggersticks · 15/05/2023 23:04

Was a big fan, once upon a time. Got his dvds, seen him twice. Totally and utterly gone off him. Wouldn't see him in anything now if it was free.

Tool...

Scrambledchickens · 15/05/2023 23:11

No thanks
reducing womanhood to a costume does not sit well with me

Quite.

Eddie and/or Suzy can fuck right off.

Who’s they?

NotTonightDeidre · 15/05/2023 23:37

Of course he's Eddie when that's where the cash is.

FairlySane · 15/05/2023 23:48

So he’s Suzie when he wants to skank about in female toilets but he’s Eddie when he collects his wages…………
I smell 💩

Orders76 · 15/05/2023 23:50

I used to love Eddie izzard, I'm so angry that so many people I thought were great are total twats

SmoothSeasDoNotMakeGoodSailors · 16/05/2023 00:04

Eddie could not possibly be Suzy full time, as there are no lucrative roles that way. I wonder why Eddie wants to keep boy and girl mode?

Yes, I agree.

The whole “not women’s dresses” thing was absolutely iconic.

Such a massive disappointment to now understand the underlying misogyny.

lifeturnsonadime · 16/05/2023 00:13

He's doing a Pippa / Philip Bunce.

Only a woman when it suits (or when not wearing one).

I've lost all respect.
