A memoir of love, death and jazz chickens, Eddie Izzard's fabulous
Believe Me is his one and only autobiography . . . Penguin presents
the unabridged audio CD edition of Believe Me written and read by
Eddie Izzard. Including exclusive content from the recording,
showcasing Eddie at his comical best, with additional commentary
unique to the audiobook edition. 'I know why I'm doing all this,' I
said. 'Everything I do in life is trying to get her back. I think
if I do enough things . . . that maybe she'll come back.' When
Eddie Izzard was six, he and his brother Mark lost their mother.
That day, he lost his childhood too. Despite or perhaps because of
this, he has always felt he needed to take on things that some
people would consider impossible. With the same esoteric, surreal,
stream-of-consciousness comedy he is famous for in, this audiobook
edition of, Believe Me Eddie takes us on a journey which begins in
Yemen (before the revolution), then takes us to Northern Ireland
(before The Troubles), England and Wales, then across the seas to
Europe and America. In a story jam-packed with incident he tells of
teddy bear shows on boarding school beds, renouncing accountancy
for swordfighting on the streets of London and making those first
tentative steps towards becoming an Action Transvestite, touring
France in French and playing the Hollywood Bowl. Above all, this is
a tale about someone who has always done everything his own way
(which often didn't work at first) and, sometimes almost by
accident but always with grit and determination, achieving what he
set out to do. Recorded with the style of delivery and disarming
candor of his shows (with occasional digressions), Believe Me tells
the story of a little boy who lost his mother yet who has risen to
become a star of comedy and drama, a leading advocate of total
clothing rights, a British European and extreme runner of
marathons, who bestrides the world stage as a world stage
bestrider. 'King of the Universe . . . Comic genius . . .
Entertainment incarnate' Telegraph
