A comedian and actor who has made audiences around the world laugh for 40 years, Suzy Eddie Izzard, known professionally as Eddie Izzard, began her comedy career in famous London venues including the Comedy Store and the Ambassador Theatre, has appeared in plays on the West End and Broadway (including a Tony nomination for her performance in A Day in the Death of Joe Egg), and appeared in many television shows such as The Riches and The Day of the Triffids, and films, including Ocean’s 12 and 13. She’s back in Australia for her latest stand up show – The Remix Tour – and is then presenting her one person version of Hamlet.

Suzy reflects on the challenges of sustaining a visceral, emotionally immediate interpretation of Shakespeare alone on stage, and how her background in stand-up and street performance has equipped her for it. She candidly reflects on key milestones of her career, her early rejections, and how her success in stand-up sidetracked her original ambitions to be an actor. We hear about her Tony nomination, her foray into politics and her journey to coming out as trans. All the stories are told with her trademark wit and humour.

Suzy Eddie Izzard performs Hamlet at the Playhouse of the Sydney Opera House June 9-21, the Brisbane Powerhouse June 24-27, Arts Centre Melbourne Fairfax Studio from June 30 to July 12, the Perth Heath Ledger Theatre July 27-28 and the Canberra Theatre Centre from July 31 to August 2. She also performs Hamlet in Auckland and Wellington.
