	Eddie Izzard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		After the British leg of the tour, he took "Definite Article" to major cities outside the UK including a successful stint in New York City.
		However, his US breakthrough did not really come until 1998, when "Dress to Kill", which was shown on American television channel HBO, went on to earn Izzard two Emmy Awards in 2000.
		Running themes in his comedy are an impression of James Mason which represents a hapless, dithering God, an impression of Sean Connery who's character, which has ranged from Noah to Henry VIII, usually interacts with Mason's God.

	Victoria Wood
		At 12, she began to like the idea of singing songs or being a comedy actress, but it wasn't until at the age of 15 that her talent began to shine.
		Despite her obvious musical and comedy skills however, her originality meant that it was very difficult to categorise her; she sang funny songs - so couldn't be called a stand up comic, or a musician.
		She has won an OBE and countless awards for her outstanding comedy shows, while still continues to do live stand-up tours (most recently in 1997).

	thevoice
		That was until he happened upon the Comedy Cellar in Dublin and progressed from that little nook over a pub to his now sell-out tour and TV fame.
		The Comedy Cellar was soon to help develop and nurture a 'School for Irish Comedy' offering a space for beginners to do a song or a sketch on a Wednesday night.
		But then, Ireland has never had the 'comedy culture' of Britain, where comedy clubs are no different to the regular theatre in the minds of those wishing to be entertained.

	Eddie Izzard
		An enormously popular British comedian known as much for his transvestitism as he is for his excoriating social observations, Eddie Izzard is one of the most gleefully unpredictable -- to say nothing of contradictory -- performers to have sabotaged the stage and screen during the late 20th century.
		Following his mother's death when he was six, Izzard found some degree of solace in comedy, particularly the works of Monty Python, Steve Martin, Richard Pryor, and the early Benny Hill.
		His stand-up work brought him British Comedy Awards in 1993 and 1996, and with popular and critical approval thus in hand, Izzard began appearing in films.
