Eddie Izzard: Funnyman and genuine nice guy

By Emily Hulme

This story from Comedy Central's Insider blog is heartwarming:

Poor Will Pike was vacationing in India with his girlfriend, but had to miss Izzard's show in London last month while recuperating [from injuries sustained trying to escape terrorists during November's Mumbai attacks]. Pike's dad asked the comedian if he could send a note and received a personal hospital visit and concert instead.

Izzard performed his entire 90-minute set for Pike!

The coolest part: "Izzard's spokesperson declared that the star's visit to Will was a private affair and chose not to comment any further." (via One India)

This is just all so gosh darn nice.
