Superhuman Eddie Izzard is nearing the finish line on her virtual monster marathon and stand up challenge. With three days left to complete her unbelievable A Run For Hope Challenge - she s given herself a final huge hurdle to tackle this weekend.
Eddie joined the Chris Evans Breakfast Show with Sky and told him about falling asleep mid stand up post marathon: “I’ve done some of these before but we had to up the ante so that at the end of the marathons, which is proving tricky, I fall asleep about 10 times just for a split second.
I beg of you please stay out!
Eddie Izzard’s 24th consecutive marathon had a dramatic ending yesterday as gatecrashers tried to invade the studio where the comic was running.
With a mixture of panic and irritation, Izzard yelled at the interlopers to get out of the Covid-secure space. No, no, no you can’t come in, you can’t come in,’ the 58-year-old told them. ‘I m so sorry! You can’t come in, you can’t come in it is Covid safe.
After being ignored, Izzard’s pleas became more intense: Please, please you have to go I am sorry. Do not! Do not! Do not! Stop! It is Covid safe go out, please go out, it is Covid safe, we have to be, please I beg of you, please stay out.’
A comedy stage and screen legend, Henry was last on stage in
King Hedley II at Theatre Royal Stratford East. He was also meant to have appeared in a 2020 National show –
Richard Pryor on Fire – but the pandemic has sadly scuppered plans for now. He also has an unspecified role.

Trainspotting,
My Name Is Joe and more. Some may recognise him as the menacing Yaxley from the
Harry Potter films. He cut his teeth on stage as part of the left-wing theatre movement that emerged during Thatcher s time in office.
