As the topic says, well-known comedian and action transvestite Eddie Izzard has run 43 (last one today) marathons across the UK in the last 52 days. I cannot comprehend the effort required, and I'm amazed I've only just heard about it. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article6836044.ece

Despite being a fan of Eddie, i've not heard of this up until now. Well done to him. Would of been funnier if he did the last section in heels though...... |

Apparently he went from running each one in ten hours down to five. Not sure how good his thighs and calves will look in stockings and suspenders now... |

IMO the funny bit drifted out of his standup a while back but I still like Izzard himself, just not Izzard the comedian. He seems like a good bloke. |

He might be still funny to you, just not to me. I'm difficult to amuse. |

I'll admit he lost a lot of his edge when he 'Americanised' and pretty much dropped his Transvesite image but i'm still looking forward to it. |
