First Reviews for Dame Edna's "Eat Pray Laugh" Tour!

Dame Edna's glorious gigastar farewell tour of Australia, "Eat Pray Laugh", kicked off this past weekend in Canberra, and those lucky little down-under darlings are loving it!

 Check out these reviews and reflections:

" Edna and company are just as monstrous and embarrassingly true to life as ever."

"It was in the nation's capital Canberra – 'the gateway to Queanbeyan' – and with a hint of Bollywood Dame Edna Everage was in scintillating form, at one point almost apologising if her pheromones were bothering the nearest of her audience."

"We have waited for many years to see Dame Edna Everage come onstage aloft a huge ceremonial elephant, but her recent visit to an ashram in India, which may account for the bling she was wearing, provided the perfect excuse for her to upstage everyone, even the elephant."

This magnificent megastar Australian tour continues this weekend at Newcastle's Civic Theatre.

"Knight and Day" - a new Dame Edna painting!

Hello possums!  Hello darlings!

Check out this gorgeous little video.  Artist Wayne Dowsent has created a 'speedpainting' of our favourite gigastar and Australia's most disgusting diplomat, Sir Les Patterson. 

What in world did Sir Les just say to her....???  No doubt, something a little bit unnecessary, and a whole lot yucky!!!

Dame Edna Tour Video

Hello possums!

It won't be long before Dame Edna's gorgeous final tour "Eat Pray Laugh" kicks off in Oz!  Non-entities around Australia will have their very lives transformed by the healing effect of Edna's presence on stage.  Lucky little darlings!  After seeing the world's favourite chat show host, royal confidante, and swami in her ground-breaking new show, the remainder of their dull, grey days are sure to be a huge disappointment. 

From the official tour website:

“So, Possums, please do come and say goodbye to me. It would be lovely to see your faces for the last time,” Dame Edna says.

“When you hear your grandchild's voice saying, ‘Grandma, did you see Dame Edna's farewell show?’ don't betray their faith in you. Say ‘yes darling! Many, many times!’”

During the all-singing, all-dancing spectacular, Dame Edna promises to “empower” audiences as she meditates on the big issues of gender, ethnicity and climate change.

“You will see me at the height of my powers, taking you on a wonderful spiritual journey you'll never forget. I'm not saying my show will heal you, but you'll certainly leave the theatre feeling considerably better for the experience.”

While Act One of Eat Pray Laugh! features Humphries with his friends, this really serves as “just a bit of foreplay really before I make an orgasmic appearance in Act Two”, Dame Edna says.

For a sneak peak, here is the promotional video for the tour, and we'll be sure to bring you all the news as the show takes Australia by storm in the coming months:

Dame Edna Becomes Diet Guru with Jenny Craig!

Darlings!

Are you in need of some help to shed a few pounds?  Is the sight of Sir Les Patterson not enough to put you off your food?

Worry not, possums!  As usual, our favourite housewife/megastar is coming to your rescue, showing you the way!  

Despite previously having plastic surgery so that she looks her age - having crow's feet inserted because she looked too young, and grafting one of Elizabeth Taylor's love handles onto her chin to give her a slightly heavier appearance - she has now decided that her adoring public need her assistance in their battle with the bulge.

And so with her friends at Jenny Craig in Australia, she will be losing weight ahead of her eagerly anticipated tour "Eat, Pray, Laugh!" down under.  As always, she'll be helping non-entities around the world as they follow her progress, providing the inspiration they need in their own pursuit of gigastar gorgeousness.
