Izzard's memoir is chatty and informative. There is a lot of focus on his childhood and the trauma of his mother's death when Izzard was six years old. After that, he and his brother went to boarding school so everything changed radically for him. His dad was still around and a loving guy but boarding school reshaped his life. The story picks up when he gets to performing in college. I can appreciate hearing about learning to perform on the street, on the stage and then on TV and film. Izzard realization that he is trans and how he dealt with it are also highlights. His charity runs are not featured enough, in my opinion. In the end, this is probably best for people who are fans or interested in Izzard. The audio book is well done and contains lots of extra features and comments.
