  • Izzard explains her names & pronouns
  • How Izzard’s one-woman Great Expectations show was born
  • Why it was launched in New York
  • How Izzard’s adapted from comedy into acting
  • The rave reviews from the New York show

  • Why the ‘vast majority’ of people are vying for a ‘live and let live world’
  • How being gender fluid supports Izzard’s male and female roles
