Got me. I have a vague tickle in the back of my brain about that name being associated with a song or perhaps English TV, but... no real clue.

A very funny British commedian who will wer women's clothes onstage and talk in French during some parts of the show. He is also an actor and does the voice of Reep the mouse in Prince Caspian and he stared in the series The Riches about a family of con artists who pretend to be another family.

A fantastic and witty actor/comedian who is a transvestite.

Some of his best lines are:

Do you have a flag? and Cake or death?

Rock star from the early 1980s, but I can't remember which band

Mordant Brit comedian, with a cult following. Can be extremely funny, can also fall totally flat if you don't get his style of humor.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

British comedian who sometimes dresses in drag; known for "cake or death?" and "bird strike" funniness.

[maddoxa.livejournal.com]

1) an English comedian known for cross-dressing in his performances
2) an actor in an american sitcom about a family squatting in a rich person's house (but I don't remember the name of the show or which station it was on)

[maddoxa.livejournal.com]

and he ran in (one or several?) pub marathon to raise money for charity

Izzard?
