EDDIE IZZARD - EDDIE IZZARD: COMEDY IS LIKE COCAINE

Cross-dressing comedian and movie actor EDDIE IZZARD claims that performing stand-up routines is like snorting cocaine.

The VELVET GOLDMINE star admits to finding drama more stimulating, and even compares it to the fulfillment of a good meal.

Eddie, 41, says, "In comedy, it's hit after hit after hit. But drama is more satisfying.

"Comedy is like a line of coke, but drama is a really good meal with good wine and great conversation. You might even have changed your mind by the end of the evening."
