5. Marathons
A gruelling challenge of running back-to-back marathons throughout the length of the UK. Eddie Izzard concludes her memoir.
The idea of taking on unusual sporting challenges appealed to Eddie Izzard 鈥� so she took on a gruelling regime of running back to back marathons throughout the length of the UK
In this memoir, Eddie has taken us on a journey through her life - one during which she's discovered much about herself along the way, and come to terms with not fitting into the box that most of us like to put people in.
With a nod to the surreal humour and disarming candour of her shows, and some occasional digressions, Believe Me tells the story of a child losing their mother yet who鈥檚 risen to become a star of comedy and drama, a leading advocate of total clothing rights, and an extreme runner of marathons.
Written and concluded by Eddie Izzard.
