Eddie Izzard
109 Answers
I am the first to understand that comedy is subjective - I have a member of my family whom I love dearly, notwithstanding that she thinks Michael McIntyre is funny ...
But I watched about twenty minutes of Eddie izzard on tv tonight, and I simply don't get it
I couldn't raise a smile if my life depended on it, so what am I missing?

Generally speaking, people's musical and comedic creativity peaks around 30 years old. Obviously, this is a huge generalisation and there are a number of notable exceptions but on the whole, this seems to be the case. Why? Who knows but when you look back at the 'greats' in both music and comedy, it's rare to find someone who is making ground-breaking art in those genres when they're in their 40s, 50s and 60s and beyond. Almost invariably, their best work is when they're in their 20s and 30s.
