There is such a strong whiff of narcissism about Izzard. Most of his projects are solo things. He doesn’t really give the impression he is someone who could work well as part of a team.
I suppose if a project goes well, he gets to have all the credit for himself. But if it doesn’t go well (as seems to be the case currently in both his political and entertainment careers), it must be quite crushing for him, as there is no one else to blame. He could possibly try and pin in on transphobia, but that might not wash as it almost certainly wasn’t transphobia that meant he wasn’t chosen to represent Labour in Brighton
I wonder if there is a point at which he’ll conclude that what he is doing currently isn’t really what the public want, and perhaps it’s time to try some different types of project.
