Eddie Izzard is to play a one-off show at Croydon's Fairfield Halls to raise money for his favourite football club Crystal Palace. Izzard will be headlining a line-up that also includes Mark Steel and Holly Walsh. Kevin Hunter Day and Jim Piddock will be sharing compering duties. The show, entitled Stand Up For The Palace, takes place on Thursday, July 17. All proceeds from the event will go to the Crystal Palace Football Club Academy. Izzard became an Associate Director of the Premier League club in 2012. He is a lifelong supporter and told his father that he was a transvestite after they had been to a Crystal Palace match together.
