Not only is Eddie Izzard one of comedy’s most highly regarded performers, but he has been a noted activist, once completing 43 marathons in 51 days. That’s all on top of being an icon for having performed in high heels and a dress as a man. 

In short, he may just pull running for Mayor of London off in a few years. If he does though, we’d hope that he still remains a funny public persona instead of staying within in government chambers like Senator Al Franken.
