Plot summary

The story of one person's triumph over adversity: cameras followed the comedian on a very stressful comeback tour and caught the story behind some of her best loved material en route. Prior to her Sexie tour in 2003 and under extreme pressure to write, she delved into her own life for inspiration. So began an accidental voyage into her past that paralleled her world tour and culminated in a moment of revelation about the source of her relentless drive. Film contains exclusive never-before-seen footage including the famous 'wolves' material, Izzard's first student sketches and unicycle-riding as a street performer in Covent Garden. Hilarious and moving by turns, an inspiring tale of how tragedy can be turned to laughter.

A bit long winded but thorough. I wish

A bit long winded but thorough. I wish it would have explored the man a little more than his desire to suceed.

Documentary telling the story of comedian and actor

Documentary telling the story of comedian and actor Eddie Izzard, which follows him from his childhood right up to the 2003 Sexie tour. Eddie Izzard has got to be one of the best stand up comedians out there, and this documentary is a very affectionate look at his life story. Charting his childhood, school days and rise to stardom, it follows him right up to his 'workshop' shows for the Sexie Tour. It is jam packed with interviews with family, friends and the man himself, and the chance to see some archival footage of his early days doing street performing is worth the ticket price alone. This is a very interesting, funny and (at times) emotional documentary which is perfect for the rabid fan, or anyone who has heard of him and wants to know more.

Opens up with the so called shock news

Opens up with the so called shock news of Izzard being accused of fraud for repeating old jokes. This unjust sensationist opening sequence is supposed to give some drama to the career of a now, very funny comic. But can see it took a long time for him to be such a polished performer. Interesting to see old footage from places such as Covent Garden. Also interesting to see him as a stand up prior to dressing up on stage. Not really enough gags in the documentary, but still interesting viewing
