The Political Party

Show 306 - *Eddie Izzard - LIVE*

Eddie Izzard is one of the greatest stand-up comedians of all time, as well as being a gifted actor, marathon runner and campaigner... but there's at least one other major ambition still burning: to get elected to the House of Commons. In this hilarious, emotional and deeply personal interview, Eddie talks about everything from the death of loved ones to serving on Labour's NEC in the Corbyn years. Possessed with amazing stamina and drive, Eddie plans to change Britain for the better by getting elected in 2024. Plus it wouldn't be an interview with Eddie Izzard without some exceptional routines on all manner of subjects including Jesus, Abraham Lincoln and fat tigers.  Buy tickets to The Political Party, live at The Duchess Theatre here: <a href="https://nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/</a>Forthcoming guests include:20 March: Krishnan Guru-Murthy3 April: Ruth Davidson17 April: Jess Phillips22 May: David Blunkett5 June: Philip Hammond Plus more to be announced!  Follow @mattforde on Twitter for the latest news Email the show: <a href="mailto:politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com</a> Hosted on Acast.
