LONDON, November 18, 2010 - 2entertain has announced the release of 'Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story'

gives the viewers insight into the
much loved comedian's life, and will be available on DVD and from iTunes from
22nd November.

Director Sarah Townsend revisits Izzard's remarkable life by weaving a
multi-layered tapestry around Eddie's own confessions to the camera. Insights
come from charming childhood home movies, enlightening vintage street-comedy

footage, and friend and celebrity interviews including Robin Williams and
George Clooney.

There's also Eddie's father, whose career took the family from Yemen to
Northern Ireland amid the troubles, now musing on the impact of those moves,
and on his son's youthful fascination with his mother's stockings.
Ultimately, there's the openness of Izzard himself. He frankly ponders past
paths, and even confronts the comedy truth-in-advertising controversy that
demoralised him into a three-year retreat from his free-associating stage
comedy.

Eddie was born in 1962 in South Yemen and began his comedy career in
1987. Since then Eddie has appeared in his own comedy shows, TV programmes
and movies. Eddie Izzard (

is perhaps best known for his energetic approach to comedy and he
fashion sense, which often includes women's clothing and full make-up.
Eddie's comedy shows can be a little bit different as he speaks French
fluently and often performs large sections of his shows in French.

Eddie has 8 comedy shows which have already been released on video or
DVD, and was voted the fifth greatest British national comedians by Channel 4
in 2010.
