I am working my way through February by watching Dame Edna interviews. They are medicine.

I was privileged to spend an evening with Dame Edna during her Final Farewell Tour at the Los Angeles Ahmanson Theatre in 2015. It was blissful evening with the brilliant and magnificent treasure, Barry Humphries and his beyond-delightful persona, Dame Edna... truly a night I have and will never forget. He was an absolute one of a kind and a gift to us all. RIP, you funny man.

I adore Dame Edna, always have and always will.🥰❤️

It's wonderful to watch just how witty and intelligent Barry Humphries, aka Dame Edna, is. One of Australia's funniest stage and TV presences, but also has a powerful command of politics and social issues which she uses to effect to out maneuver and poke guests, and hosts alike.

Americans just don’t know how to react to Dame Edna. She is a true comic genius and most of her brilliance goes straight over their heads.

@whocares.20

What kind of ignorant statement is that? As an American, I react to him/her as a normal human would, in utter joy, awe, large amounts of laughter. with a large smile on my face. She' IS a comic genius, and most of her brilliance is quite understood by us lil ole 'Merican's. So what goes over my head is, wth you are talking about. Just a thought, I was thinking what a pair Dame & Doubtfire would have made together.

Many Australians are straight to the point. You can exclude our politicians of coarse.

it's sad to see that she is much more mellow than she used to be, I like Dame Edna when she's a delightful monster. I guess it's down to modern audiences not being familiar with her style, if she suddenly started behaving like the real Dame Edna we know and love on American morning tv it wouldn't go down well

Where is the second half?

I wonder how many people got the obvious intimation that George Clooney is gay...

Poor Mark got roasted.

I would have loved to see Sir Les in that spot. Could you just imagine him sitting there legs outstretched, a drink in one hand a smoke in the other, spitting and sputtering everywhere. The hosts would not have had a clue.

I always find Dame Edna on American shows doesn’t work very well. They just don’t get the Australian humour !!! That Mark was embarrassed and just not getting her irony or turns of phrase. Do Americans even know what a “frock” is? So much of what the Dame says goes over their heads completely.
