Previously: A comedian was nicknamed 'No Laughs Eddie' on the London comedy circuit in the late 80s and early 90s. [Unverified]: There is no widely recognized historical record of a notable comedian with the specific nickname 'No Laughs Eddie' during the late 80s or 90s in London. This may be a obscure or anecdotal reference that cannot be confirmed through general knowledge. To settle this, one would need access to archived performance records or memoirs from the period.

Now: Eddie Izzard was nicknamed No Laughs Eddie early on the London comedy circuit. [Unverified]: The transcript explicitly identifies Eddie Izzard immediately before this anecdote. The guest says early London performers called Izzard No Laughs Eddie. We did not independently establish that nickname in a primary memoir, interview or contemporary record. It remains an attributed anecdote, rather than an unidentified comedian or a claim disproved by lack of a general-knowledge match.

Identify Eddie Izzard from the transcript and remove the unsupported implication that obscurity disproves the anecdote.
