"I shared a flight to New York with Eddie Izzard
last week. At immigration Eddie was dragged off
to a private room for further questioning over
a 'parole issue'. After about 45 minutes
one immigration officer came out looking cross
and puzzled and asked his fellow officers -
"'Has anyone heard of Eddie Izzard? He's some
weird British guy in there claiming to be a
comedian but he's not making any of us laugh.'"
