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.

Dame Edna and Cast Prepare for Panto in Wimbledon!

You little darlings!

You've been wondering how to add a bit of glitter and glamour to your dull lives this Chrissie, haven't you? What better way than to add some megastar magic to the holiday season in the form of the gorgeous Dame Edna Everage in pantomime at the New Wimbledon Theatre ? How fabulously festive, possums!!!

Here's a little behind the scenes look at rehearsals as we quickly approach opening night. Dame Edna's manager Barry Humphries is mysteriously at rehearsals, and as they don't tend to get along very well, it seems that Edna has chosen to excuse herself during the time he's there. Very wise too, as everyone knows he's extremely jealous of Edna's success, and is only after her squillions!!!

Enjoy, possums, and get your tickets soon...

Dame Edna's WAVE THAT GLAD!

Darlings!

It's still gladi season, so rush out and buy a beautiful bouquet today! And then when you get home, thrust a glad into the air while watching this gorgeous video, and in true Dame Edna style...."Wave that Glad"...!!!

Dame Edna & Will Young on The Rob Brydon Show!

Darlings!

At the start of his most recent show, Rob Brydon described Dame Edna as "The greatest woman who ever lived!". No truer words have ever been spoken, and she certainly added some megastar magic to Rob's show on Friday evening!

Offering some caring words of advice to little Rob, she purred "You're starting your career off the way I would recommend...quietly, very quietly. I think people will come around to you!" She meant it in a nice way, possums!

They later discussed the fashions of Lady Gaga, and she told Rob that Lady Gaga makes too much of an effort....then turning to the audience added "...whereas women here in the studio have made no effort whatever!" A fashion icon speaks!

Further into the show, upon meeting singer Will Young, she declared "I've never heard of you." Perhaps Kenny is a fan, though? And ultimately, Edna and Will made beautiful music together by singing a classic duet. His career will be one huge disappointment after such a show-business peak like that!!!

It was a show not to be missed, possums, so catch it now on BBC iPlayer:

Hello Possums!

With all the trouble and strife in the news these days, it seems that we could all use a little love and healing. Who can we turn to in these difficult times? Well I can think of no-one better than the world's best-loved gigastar and guru, Dame Edna Everage. She can administer some healthy doses of Vitamin L for laughter, and a gentle reminder that the greatest gift in the world is the ability to laugh at the misfortunes of others!

So here then is the first clip from her fabulous television show "Dame Edna Kisses It Better". Watch, and be healed...

Happy Australia Day, Possums!

Happy Australia Day, you little darlings!


To celebrate this gorgeous day, we're bringing you an Edna-rama assembly of antipodean antics and megastar magic!

First off, a link to the Australia Day Keynote Address given by Sir Michael Parkinson. Of course, little Michael couldn't talk about Australia without referencing the country's greatest gift to the world - Dame Edna Everage! He noted:

“Dame Edna Everage once said -
and we must never tire of quoting the classics -
that Australians are good at sport because of
'the sun, the diet, the healthy outdoor life
and the total lack of intellectual stimulation'."

What a gorgeous sentiment! Call me old-fashioned, but it is! To see the whole article, click here:
