Who Is Eddie Izzard?

Eddie Izzard is a funny person, he manages to combine a comic delivery, with a surreal view of the world that takes people's observations about popular culture and plays with it in an absurdest way.  He says he is most influenced by the Scottish comedy legend Billy Connelly.  Eddie is an action transvestite, he dresses in women's clothes, he describes himself as a male tomboy.

His work covers subjects as wide as the Daleks, God (as voiced by James Mason), he also makes fun of the Americans, British and French.  He has been known to perform his entire stand up routine in French in France, which is some serious feat.  Later in his career he started doing some more acting work and has been on stage and screen in recent years.

I wonder if at some point the ageing transvestite might become a little Dame Edna-like and he will change his approach a little?
