Believe Me

A Memoir of Love, Death and Jazz Chickens

De: Eddie Izzard

Narrado por: 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.

Great listen

I love any and all things Eddie Izzard.
And this doesn't disappoint. A fun rambling listen.

Mr. Izzard has an amazing take on life.

I hope is with us for a very long time to share his unique perspective.

More stars needed. 1st audiobook that outranks

1st time an audio book outranks the printed page. Only on chapter 4 and I want to nothing but finish and start over. Brilliant bonus footnotes. A fan MUST HAVE.

Excellent Izzard

I thought this book was excellent. Izzard is not only funny, smart and interesting, but when you listen to this book, you get the added bonus of endless spontaneous footnotes where we get even more insight and signature Izzard musings.

I'd say for fans, this is a very entertaining read/listen.

I've found myself listening to a lot of celebrity memoirs lately, and I feel like Eddie put a lot more of himself into this one than many of them do. Despite his position that he's not that interesting, he's led a very unusual life, and fought tooth and nail to get to where he is today.

This is probably the most fun book I've downloaded in the last year.

The best reason for audiobooks

All of Eddies footnotes; flights of thought are the BEST part of listening this book (vs reading it). The way to get to know him and his life and ways of looking at life. Just like sitting with him and listening to him tell stories of his life.
If your a fan of Eddie; his sense of humor and his intelligent look at life ENJOY!!,
I can’t imagine what the book would be without his flights of thought
