eddie izzard just ran 27 marathons in 27 days in honour of Nelson Mandelas 27 years in prison, raising 1.4 million pounds so far for sport relief. amazing from him.

The man is a legend
WTFUnicorns
I love that man.
DoTheToothsTeethHaveTeethToo
I ran 2K today!! I was happy
lordwank
If he ran and raised 1.4 million pounds, hes doing something wrong. His diets probably off.
TheMentelgen
Well he'll still need a tray.
vinylspear
He had powerful motivation. He was covered in beeeees!!!

What is sports relief?
thegoatsofdawn
as an American i thought it was a charity to give profesional athletes more vacation time.
Scaper1812
It's like Comic Relief, but it's mainly sports personalities involved and the things people do to raise money are usually all sports related
IReviewDickPics
English charity raising event organised by the BBC. People do sporty things to raise money. Also have Comic relief every other year.
Lambdafish1
British* (don't mean to be technical, but Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland contribute)
Welcome2Nightvale
So what is the money allocated to? A relief fund for what exactly?
Raygirl
It's usually split across multiple causes and charities both in the UK and overseas, basically sending aid where it is needed most
ClockworkArchangel13
what does the money go to?
Raygirl
It's split between sending aid overseas to the worlds poorest countries, and helping vulnerable people in the UK
manovsteele
Like comic relief it's apparently a 50:50 split between UK and abroad, projects like mental health support/homeless shelters in the UK (1/2)
manovsteele
The foreign aid is normally for projects in developing countries like hospitals, water pumps etc, or medical supplies and clothing.

"I'm very tired", even after running a marathon he's hilarious.

And matching toe nails by the way. I watched an interview during the sports relief show on Friday night
Frappo
He's more of a man than most and spent a good portion of his career in drag. Damn fine gentleman.
Libbyfrank
I saw a drag show this weekend and those guys are so impressive! I was born with those bits and they our lady me anyway of the week
Chenata
Because he's an executive trassexual.
FedericoAstica
According to him, he's a lesbian trapped in a man's body.
TheSkeletonWar
aren't we all?
daelith
*transvestite. He doesn't identify as female.
Chenata
You are correct, I got my quote wrong. That's what I get for typing while tired.
daelith
Been there myself many times.
cthulhaa
*transgender- he's loosely described himself as a complete boy plus half a girl, a lesbian stuck in a male body, and a straight transvestite
SugarSmack
Dressed to Kill is still my favorite stand up act of all time.
amahler
hearing him say "la souris est sur la table" inspired me to learn french
srsfaceI8C
Do you have a flag?
SugarSmack
"You can't claim us, we live here! Five hundred million of us!"
JDam27
"No flag, no country. those are the" rules that I just made up and i'm backing it up with this gun that was lent to me by the NRA.

Hippocrene

ImperatorAugustus
NBC's Hannibal. Good show.
Hippocrene
Oooooooh! Thanks!! I didn't even think to google! Thought it was an Imgur joke I'd missed! Thank you again.
ImperatorAugustus
No worries! Only three seasons, but imo one of the best shows NBC has put out in some time.
Brackers21
He's an action transvestite...
primadonna13
Running, jumping, climbing trees! Putting on makeup while you're up there!

What about Jeff Vader?
BrianThunderSnakeJuiceSpokesman
There's a documentary about him doing something like that a while ago, narrated by David Tennant, and I don't understand why it's not huge.
GingerOverlord
That was him running across the UK. It was very awesome, called Marathon Man. It's one of the reasons he's a role model, not just my
GingerOverlord
favorite comedian.
BrianThunderSnakeJuiceSpokesman
I never understood why that doc wasn't a bigger deal. It's like Nerd Porn.
dracuella
Izzard action I haven't seen? It bloody well goes on my shelf now! Thank you, lads and ladies, for bringing it to my attention! <3
BrianThunderSnakeJuiceSpokesman
Let me know if you find it somewhere in NA! Would love to watch it but could never find a copy.
GingerOverlord
I was only able to watch it on youtube.

Running, jumping, climbing trees...putting on make up while he's up there.
MrGrapedrink
Well he's done with the running part ; onto jumping.
meghantweets
Unless the squirrel's gotten into it again.
lliandra
Sometimes I'd get up that tree and that squirrel would be COVERED in makeup!
toyotasandwich
Occasionally squirrels stop to think- "Huh? Wha? Did I leave the gas on?"

I honestly think that if we were talking running, it would probably take me a month. I could walk it for sure, maybe 3 days? but running...
CObullUshitGH
That's unfucking real.
Panzerosu
You have to hyphenate a split word. Like so, un-fucking-real.
CObullUshitGH
I originally didn't put a space between fuckingreal. What this guy did is unfuckingreal. he's old as fuck and partied pretty fucking hard.
Panzerosu
He did at that...
yeahyeahyeahwhatevs
