    Avis de l'équipe

    Editors Select, June 2017

    Eddie Izzard is easily the most quoted comedian in my family. His characteristic quips and witticisms and surprisingly deep knowledge of history and pop culture make his routines both hilarious and engaging. He takes this same factoid-filled-tangent approach to his heartfelt and intimate autobiography and delivers a rapid-fire performance that flows as effortlessly as a vibrant conversation. More importantly, Izzard’s is a performance to learn from, as he is at his funniest during the most painful memories in the book, demonstrating an enlightening ability to find joy in strife. It’s this unique talent that is so uniquely on display here, more holistic than his well-crafted satire, and bolder in its motivation and message. —Michael, Audible Editor

    Description

    Critically acclaimed, award-winning British comedian and actor Eddie Izzard details his childhood, his first performances on the streets of London, his ascent to worldwide success on stage and screen, and his comedy shows, which have won over audiences around the world.

    Over the course of a 30-year career, Eddie Izzard has proven himself to be a creative chameleon, inhabiting the stage and film and television screens with an unbelievable fervor. Born in Yemen and raised in Ireland, Wales, and postwar England, he lost his mother at the age of six. In his teens he dropped out of university and took to the streets of London as part of a two-man escape act; when his partner went on vacation, Izzard kept busy by inventing a one-man act, and thus a career was ignited. As a stand-up comedian, Izzard has captivated audiences with his surreal, stream-of-consciousness comedy - lines such as "cake or death?" "Death Star canteen", and "do you have a flag?" have the status of great rock lyrics. As a self-proclaimed "executive transvestite", Izzard broke the mold performing in full makeup and heels and has become as famous for his advocacy for LGBT rights as he has for his art. In Believe Me, he recounts the dizzying rise he made from street busking to London's West End to Wembley Stadium and New York's Madison Square Garden.

    Still performing more than 100 shows a year - thus far in a record-breaking 28 countries worldwide - Izzard is arguably one of today's top kings of comedy. With his brand of keenly intelligent humor that ranges from world history to pop culture, politics, and philosophy, he has built an extraordinary fan base that transcends age, gender, and race. Writing with the same candor and razor-sharp insight evident in his comedy, he reflects on a childhood marked by unutterable loss, sexuality and coming out, as well as a life in show business, politics, and philanthropy. Honest and generous, Izzard's Believe Me is an inspired account of a very singular life thus far.

    Commentaires

    “Beloved comedian, actor, and writer Izzard...shares intimate details about his life and is emotionally transparent throughout this splendid memoir.... The book is both funny and painful, and ultimately uplifting.” (Publishers Weekly)

    “If you are a fan of Eddie Izzard, then you will love this book. If you are not a fan of Eddie Izzard, then there is a good chance that this book will make you one. The experience is akin to him sitting down and having a chat with you, which, we can all agree, sounds delightful.” (Thomas Burns Scully, Popdust.com)

    “Beloved British comedian Eddie Izzard [writes] with the same wit and candor that characterizes his stand-up [and] tackles his sexuality, his troubled childhood, and the tumultuous early days of his career, even as he recounts his many excellent roles, albums, and tours.” (Maris Kreizman, Vulture)

    “This book is a raw, honest exploration of what it means to live your truth, to be unapologetically ambitious, and to walk through fear over and over again. It’s about being brave. And hilarious. It reminded me that walking through fear almost always leads to happiness.” (Chelsea Handler)

    Excellent

    Si vous pouviez résumer Believe Me en trois mots, lesquels seraient-ils ?

    Les footnotes sans fin sont absoluements géniales.
    Ils ont été complètement fous de lui laisser carte blanche pour l'audio mais le résultat est incroyable.

    Avez-vous pu écouter l'une des performances de Eddie Izzard auparavant ? Quelle comparaison pouvez-vous faire ?

    C'est un stand-up de 14h40 au lieu de 1h en français et 2h en anglais...donc si vous aimez ses shows, vous allez adorer un show aussi long mais tout autant qualitatif.

    Auriez-vous pu écouter ce livre audio en une seule fois ?

    Non

    Walking with Eddie Izzard

    I was in London hoping to see Eddie Izzard on stage but he was touring away so I settled for this audiobook. I am glad to report that it allowed me to walk alongside him for over a week, entertained by the stories of his unusual outlook on his career, projects, life and the world. All spoken in his joyful, inquisitive and self-reflective stream-of-consciousness style. Thank you sir, and may your curiosity, patience and stamina bring us many more of your works!
