With a title like “Believe”, this recently released documentary about Eddie Izzard might be looked on in askance by comedy fans who fear the mix of sentimental or inspirational in their funny.

But the comic’s life story has much for them to appreciate and revel in, particularly segments showing Izzard performing when he was younger, including his days as a street performer.

“Believe: The Eddie Izzard Story” is available March 2nd in stores and on Amazon.
