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 took my six-year-old son to see Dame Edna in San Francisco many years ago, not telling him what he was in for except that it would be quite fun. When she came out on stage and said hello possums, my insightful son leaned into me and said ‘dad, that’s really a man.’ I said ‘I know, that’s what makes it funny’ and we both laughed all the way through.

There was a comedy award in Australia named after Barry Humphries but the snowflakes got it changed because of some jokes about gay people he told 20 years ago.
@scswp69453 жыл бұрын
@@lapalad Ridiculous that they changed it! It was part of a tongue-in-cheek act for goodness sake. There was no malice in it as far as I can see. Her appearances with Matt Lucas and Will Young (the latter on the Rob Brydon show) had such leanings and they were hilarious - and I’m a gay man! There’s a difference between comedy and homophobia. Dame Edna, I believe, was not guilty of the latter.

The jokes about gays in San Francisco or Lenny Henry being West Indian wouldn't fly for most comedians. But Humphries was always able to get away with that because as brilliant as Edna is, he's also not afraid of sometimes making her look naive or backward. It's an amazing character.
