    Dame Edna (Barry Humphries) was in my opinion, the FUNNIEST Comedian at least in my lifetime, and I"m 62. Any TV appearance made me cry with laughter. I am American and I have DVDs and VHS of her some of the TV shows she did in the UK. She had a talk show here in the US for a while in the 80's. I saw her live many times, as well as her Farewell Tour show. The whole audience was wetting themselves with constant laughter. This man was brilliant, knowledgable, hip, and had such a gift of improvisation. He could come up with a one-liner or invent a story about anything, and it would be hysterical. I'll miss him so much.

    I read Barry’s autobiography many years ago, I couldn’t put it down, brilliant read. Also I took a photo of Barry, as Barry not Edna, early 1970s, in a record shop, Sutton’s, in Elizabeth St Melbourne. Barry was in the shop window in a bed lol, advertising something, must get the photo out and check it. I remember walking in, asking him if I could take a pic, wish I could remember the rest of the conversation. One of the Suttons staff was sitting on the end of the bed in the photo. I’ve forgotten her name. I knew her as I worked across the road at Brashs music store in the office. A special photo indeed.

    I have spent part of the morning watching videos of the late great Dame Edna and this is the funniest. A friend and I deliberately got front row seats when Edna was on Broadway the first time. She came to us in the first act and asked us if we were hungry and given a menu and phone, ordered a meal from Sardi’s. Second act began with us being summoned to a little table stage left. There was our meal. Edna tucked our napkins in and poured the wine while continuing her riff on food, especially aroooogala. I offered her some wine and she said “I’m doing a SHOW, dear!” I have the Polaroid of the three of us. Thank you, Dame Edna, for having me eat pasta and salad on a Broadway stage while hundreds looked on. She was one of a kind. And some people are against drag.

    Dame Edna always knew how to read a British audience.

    Dame Edna - a national treasure, I love how she credits herself for the success of many now famous people esp Aussies like Mel, Kylie etc

    I first saw Dame Edna before she was a Dame...in about 1967 in Sydney.. I was 12 years old..she dressed like a frumpy house wife back then. Was so embarrassed when my mother caught a gladiola that Edna threw out. My mother sang along waving and "trembling" the glady as instructed!

    25 yrs ago I struggled a little to understand the genius beyond my grasp (especially the subsidiary characters like Sir Les and Sandy). Then I was blessed to see Barry live in Sydney. OMG ! This man is THE god of satire and comedy. Brilliant, subtle, brutal , biting, caring , opportunistic and disciplined all at the same time. So many progressive issues have gone backwards since his genius first out manoevered our residual prejudices and forced us all to laugh at ourselves. I have sought out his every performance since them to bathe in the intelligence, wit and humanistic love

    His wit goes over the heads of the people on the receiving end. Watch Parkinson with Judy Dench, and Sharon Osbourne. Poor Sharon , just didn't understand Dame Edna .
