Believe Me

A Memoir of Love, Death and Jazz Chickens

By: Eddie Izzard

Narrated by: Eddie Izzard

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Izzard is one of the funniest people alive, a talented actor, a sharp cross-dresser, an experienced marathon runner, and a great writer. You will have to read this if only to find out what a jazz chicken is.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer

With his brand of keenly intelligent humor that ranges from world history to historical politics, sexual politics, mad ancient kings, and chickens with guns, Eddie Izzard has built an extraordinary fan base that transcends age, gender, and race. Writing with the same candor and insight evident in his comedy, he reflects on a childhood marked by the loss of his mother, boarding school, and alternative sexuality, as well as a life in comedy, film, politics, running and philanthropy.

Honest and generous, Believe Me is an inspired account of a very singular life thus far.

Extra extra footnote.

I know more about him now, but the real-time footnotes made this a standout performance.

Love it!

I was so happy getting to hear his own narration on this one, it made it more personal, almost like it was a very intimate conversation with one of my favorite people on this planet.

Amazing book!

Amazing, I have always loved his stand up and films. Getting a deeper look inside his mind and past was so insightful.

wonderful book

and narrated by Izzard himself made it even better with all his foot notes and very long foot notes

Wonderful and inspiring

I absolutely loved this book and the performance. I was a fan before, but I finished this book being more in awe of his work ethic, creativity, and humanity.
A book for everyone.
