Hannibal (2013-2015)

2x06 || 3x11

I don’t know if you saw, but Eddie Izzard is doing a two-week run at the Chicago Shakespeare theater doing a one-woman show of Hamlet. I know you’re a big fan, so I wanted to make sure you didn’t miss out!

HOLY FUCKIN' SHIT

I didn't think she'd be back in Chicago for honestly years. TICKET ACQUIRED. I'm going on Thursday!

I wish there was a non-creepy way to inform her that there are very few shows for which I break my embargo on Chicago Shakes. And, having taken THREE TRIES to buy the ticket, I see their box office is still just the pinnacle of high-quality customer service...

ANYWAY very excited and thank you VERY much for the heads up!

Suzy Izzard officially giving cool rich aunt who takes you shopping vibes and I am here for it

first look at Suzy Eddie Izzard as Nina Jekyll in Hammer's Doctor Jekyll dir. Joe Stephenson

happy pride from suzy izzard, an icon of transness, transfemininity, and genderfuckery in the public eye for 30+ years :)

I was in my history class today and my professor was like, "I'm gonna show a bit of my favorite US history standup routine." and we all kind of nodded and then he said "Anyone know Eddie Izzard?" and the speed at which my brain went "Abel Gideon my beloved!?" but yeah I was the only person in my lecture hall who knew who she was and I didn't have the heart to tell my professor I knew her as a serial killer in a gay cannibal show but he was excited that I knew her at all.

I’ve updated Eddie Izzard’s post to include his new name (Suzy Eddie Izzard but doesn’t mind what name you use), her pronouns (he/she), a new link to describe his gender (genderfluid) and an updated photo of her.

3x01 || 3x10

One: When I was in grad school, @villainny introduced me to Suzy Eddie Izzard, and sent me a couple of her stand-up albums on cassette. I'm not gonna say they were the only thing that got me through grad school, but those four cassette tapes were certainly contributors to my survival. Tangential but important to know: in grad school, because I was living on my teaching stipend, my food budget was $20/week.

Two: I don't normally make new year's resolutions but at the end of 2019 I resolved to see more live theatre and shows, especially stand-up. (Man plans, G-d laughs.) Eventually I did get out to some stand-up shows; in the past two years I've seen Trevor Noah and Mike Birbiglia, I went to a reading by Patrick Hines, I saw a few live podcast shows. And I realized that I really didn't get much out of them if I wasn't near the front; in the cheap seats, I might as well have been watching a filmed special. But I'm fortunate in that I now earn a pretty good wage and have relatively few expenses, and can buy a good seat if I really want to see the performer. I see very few live shows these days but when I do I get a really good seat for someone I really want to see.

Three: Suzy Eddie Izzard is coming to Chicago in October for ONE NIGHT. And I thought, if I can get a ticket in the first ten rows or so...

So I'm not bragging per se, but I am proud of the fact that I could afford to drop four months' grad school food budget on a third-row ticket to see Suzy Izzard. Come on, 22-year-old-Sam! I'm taking you to a show, bud!

The trailer dropped yesterday for Doctor Jekyll starring Eddie Izzard as Nina Jekyll.

The film will be released on October 27, 2023, in cinemas in the United Kingdom.

Hey y'all I know there's like maybe 3 people left in this fandom but I made a video meme about death and now im forcing you all to watch it clockwork orange-style via the ludovico technique

The riches is like..so underrated. Trans positivity??? Scamming rich people??? A family who supports eachother no matter what??? The ENTIRE CONCEPT of wanderers makes me so happy and I don't know why. Mickey would love that life. He probably wants his aunt to adopt him. She probably tried once or twice. Laura Milkovich was a wanderer convince me otherwise. They may not be called wanderers it's late and I haven't watched the show in a bit. Also Cael is just. A good kid. Superstitious and protective, fiercely fighting for the people he loves. I saw him say "hell no I ain't sleepin' inside, I don't wanna loose my soul" and I fell for him instantly

YESSS YESS! I love all of this so much because it’s so accurate,

firstly they never questioned Sammy wearing “girl” clothes or the possibility of them being transgender, they just were like oh that’s my child/sibling and they like wearing dresses?? Coolio :) and I love that so much! Noel played cael and Mickey so well, I think playing cael definitely helped him be Mickey, like a little teaser of the big things to come for Noel.

Laura milkovich being a traveller (I am not sure what the proper term to use is so please please forgive me if this is offensive or wrong) is so on point and I have a feeling she maybe got mixed in with terry at a young age or he forced her to be with him and made her try forget about her life as a traveller because terry didn’t come from the same background.

I genuinely loved all the story lines in the riches and the characters it was way ahead of its time to be that good and Eddie izzard really came up with such a good concept! BUT not only that, I saw and not sure how true it is… but JOHN WICK was based on the riches like someone stole the idea and turned it into John wick 🫠

And one more thing, season 2 going onto season 3 was meant to be all about Cael Malloy🫠🫠🫠 I still say bring the riches back it would have only gotten better as the seasons went on (and hopefully the intros to the seasons too because they were SO BAD🤣). I bought season 1 and 2 on Amazon and I don’t regret it at all so if anyone reads this and is looking for something to watch BUY IT!!

Trick or treat!

Happy Halloween! You get Duolingo teaching you how to do a Suzy Izzard routine in Japanese!
