Dame Edna: Interview with Graham Norton (See playlist on our channel for full programme)

Part 1 (See playlist)

[@dameednaeveragetheofficial6731]

Please keep the comments respectful possums, I’ve had to remove several abhorrent slurs against both Graham Norton and Dame Edna - even one person insisting Dame Edna was dead!!

[@carolinekaplan542]

We adore you honey. Please make a pandemic special for us.

[@Leftatalbuquerque]

Canada calling - the world needs to know what your opinions are of the American election. Has Melania sought out your shoulder to lean on yet?

[@mistyhefner3790]

How dare anyone say a bad word about the Dame! The funniest comedian, no one can compare! No matter what I watch, I'm crying by the end from laughing so hard.

[@kicosumpter7049]

thats terrrible both graham and dame edna , are loved by everyone that i know , they are true entertainers and , there will never be anyone like dame edna , im 50 now and dame edna has brought so much joy to my life , you are the funniest person in my life time , and i love graham norton he is one of a kind .

[@carolinekaplan542]

Never worry about the tasteless bores. You are an international treasure. Watching old shows including the dating game episode during covid has helped. If anyone is horrid I’m a Jewish chicago lawyer to deal with them for you.

[@Rogerla62]

Rest in peace Dame Edna, and thank you for decades of laughter.

[@maudeboggins9834]

I first saw her in 1979 live in London when she was just a housewife superstar. Brilliant. I will never forget. That was how entertaining she was.

[@manichairdo9265]

I don't think I ever saw Graham laugh so much. Dame Edna was a total blast. 😂😂😂

[@jackspry9736]

RIP Barry Humphries (February 17, 1934 - April 22, 2023), aged 89 You will always be remembered as a legend.

[@brucewilson2930]

I never laughed so hard when I saw Dame Edna on Broadway several times . Barry Humphries was a comic genius who will be greatly missed . R.I.P

[@helengordon6332]

Me too he was great live 😢

[@colincolin13]

Dame Edna was quite simply one of the funniest and sweetest entertainers ever. R.I.P.😢

[@bethwodephotography]

The world will be a sadder place without dame Edna. 😢😢😢

[@andoncroft5154]

Same Barry Humphreys was a huge part my childhood

[@mistertamura6190]

Easily one of the sharpest and fastest wits out there. Thanks for all the laughter.

[@jerramy]

Dame Edna my darling, your cutting intelligent humour will never be replaced. What a tragic loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MM-yi9zn]

No one can ever replace or even come close to the genius of Dame Edna ( Barry Humphries). Will miss you always but thank heavens for all these tremendous memories we can still enjoy.

[@MasterDownUnder]

RIP Barry Humphries, Dame Edna Everage. Came looking for something good to remember and this had me in stitches!!!

[@helengordon6332]

Me too I just loved him 😢

[@kerrypapworth1526]

Master Down Under have you watched Sir Les Patterson with Michael Parkinson, hilarious.

[@reefprayer]

Omg - absolutely! I’ve been laughing with tears running down my face. Such biting wit. 😂🤣🇦🇺

[@mssuziquzi]

A gynaecologist with shaking hands is not always a drawback.😂😂😂

[@lamusiclover2264]

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.

[@tanianorth5089]

Within a year, 2 Queens have left us. There will Never be anyone like them. #LongLiveDameEdna

[@knavishlassie]

Three queens if you include Paul O'Grady!

[@TequilaToothpick]

Dame Edna was a true legend! RIP Edna! To think she died in the same day as her manager Barry Humphries too.

[@quentinquogamoddy1999]

Definitely a strange coincidence. 🤔

[@danielscottrussell3365]

RIP, Dame Edna! You were one of a kind! 💔

[@arthurcholmes9388]

Barry Humphries is a one off... complete Genius

[@splinterbyrd]

He's a *very* clever man

[@bernadettelanders7306]

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.

[@ldhumph70]

Clown..

[@terencemckivvin9786]

Dame Edna is a true legend.I laugh just wondering how she will respond to anything or anyone.A true comic genius.

[@patriciacathcart9233]

A brilliant Australian product, showed how well we can laugh at our selves.

[@kaycamille1544]

Barry humpries is a master of his craft. His timing , intuition and biting wit is second to none. Cannot think of anyone that can compare to this genius. Have seen him live many times and he has the audience in the palm of his hand. Heaven help the unsuspecting victims he pulls onstage from the audience. He is ruthless and funny beyond words. A complete joy

[@spudpud-T67]

And Grahame was professional enough to just let Edna rip.

[@jessiejames7492]

very true. his intelligence! can outwit anyone , anytime.

[@Makmurf]

Amazing

[@jessiejames7492]

Besides clean comedy.

[@RadioHistory-et8pp]

[@Glorygood56]

Barry and Edna brought joy to so many people and left the world a better place for all of us

[@jackglenn7097]

On this day, April 22, 2023, the world lost one of the most humorous people ever. Never broke character. Rest with God Barry.

[@pronemanoldbutyoung5548]

I mean, I laughed continuously from start to end, listening to Edna. The timing, the suttle jokes, the absence of vulgar language. It's amazing.

[@ascensiondoorway]

I loved the way Graham Norton was laughing so much he was almost crying! BH you gave us so much joy & you will be remembered fondly ❤

[@paulphilipempey1]

RIP Barry Humphries. What an incredible master of wit and an excellent raconteur. Thank you for the upload.

[@sharonmountstephen3957]

This is such a hoot in this "culture" of 2023!! Vale Barry Humphries. Goodbye Dame Edna, thanks for the many memories,

[@paulwhelan7781]

No matter who the host or the guest or the interviewer Dame Edna always pulls the punches and shines like the sun in full brilliant daylight.

[@cozcostello8468]

Never pulls her punches.

[@lifehacks1019]

She literally takes over the show and hilariously directs its course to a blissful end. Rip Dame Edna ❤

[@johnstory2996]

"Pulling punches" means to go easy on someone. A "pulled" punch is a soft punch.

[@Bondgirl73]

RIP Barry, you brought so much laughter to many of us. An Australian icon who will never be forgotten 🙏💐

[@Mel.U]

Dame Edna is nothing short of a masterpiece in her brilliant one liners.

[@PRAWNBALL11]

Just a sad fortnight. Paul O'Grady and now Barry. Two much loved entertainers who have kept us in stitches for decades...many thanks.

[@donaldspring6788]

What an honour to be roasted by Dame Edna, R.I.P

[@christineryman579]

What a loss to the world. May your laughter spread in the heavens xxx

[@libbyworkman3459]

Dame Edna’s interaction with the audience was spontaneous and hilarious. One after another, she insulted them in the kindest way you can imagine.

[@willdavis3332]

RIP Dear Barry...you were a true comic genius.

[@velvetclaw2316]

I sometimes think Barry humphries is the funniest man that’s ever lived

[@PaulBrown-il3wl]

I was fortunate enough to be at one of his book launches. He simply stood and people laughed. Sublime talent.

[@kaycamille1544]

Barry has the ability to make the hosts look like novices. The sharpest pencil in the box.

[@louiseskip3488]

You would love dame Edna on Parkinson with judy dench and sharon Osborn. Omg judy is freaking out. Best ever dame Edna.

[@aliana5755]

She's a national treasure and the eighth wonder of the world ❤

[@richardlloyd2589]

Now just imagine Edna’s voice, “well they say there are 7 other wonders, but really none of them are up to much.”

[@leoniemilburn8743]

Condolences to the family of Barry Humphries. There were laughs a many, tears a few. Aussie ICON.

[@hollytooker507]

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.

[@knavishlassie]

I saw that show. In the second act, as I recall, she was calling family members of people in the audience on that telephone, asking them hilariously embarrassing questions based on information she had gleaned about them in the first act. Lucky you for sharing the stage with Dame Edna!

[@quentinquogamoddy1999]

Wow! Just wow!

[@joycegausmann5840]

So damn funny and fun. 😂 Love Barry to pieces❤ Sadly gone, heartbreaking😢

[@joannlamonica8067]

You will be missed👑. So so so funny .GOD BLESS AND THANKYOU FOR THE MANY YEARS OF PURE JOY. AMEN. AMERICA. 4/24/2023

[@lesliethornton5699]

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!

[@dustbunnieboo]

I love Dame Edna and Graham Norton. What a great combination. ❤❤

[@jeffreynolt1710]

"Poor, little inarticulate Debby." So funny!! Delivery and timing.

Barry Humphries is a national treasure and one of the funniest, cleverest and most brilliant comedians the world will ever see. I’ve had the joy of seeing him and Dame Edna live on several occasions and will always buy a ticket to any show in the future. Just have to make sure I’m not seated in the front rows for fear of Barry making me part of the night’s entertainment! A genius who has spread joy to millions for years.
