Dame Edna at your Wedding?

Glad tidings, Possums!

It is with a joyous heart that I announce a new video from our fabulous Dame Edna impersonator Simon Whitehouse on YouTube!

He's been a busy ole gigastar impersonator this summer, caring and sharing at weddings up and down the country, and bringing joy to crowds of non-entities everywhere. Call me old-fashioned, but their dull little lives will likely never be the same again!

So we thought it would be rather gorgeous to post a video of some of the highlights on YouTube. We aim to add more of these videos in the months to come, so stay tuned!

A "Dame Edna" Day at the Races!

Hello, Possums!

News this week of a gorgeous Antipodean day out at the races! And a rare, much sought after opportunity to see our fabulous Gigastar impersonator Simon appear as Dame Edna, caring and sharing with her adoring public!

On 31st July, Sandown Park Racecourse is hosting a "Big Night Down Under", promising a celebration of Southern Hemisphere culture.

It's no surprise then that Simon's Dame Edna will be a part of the fun - we all know that Dame Edna represents the height of Australian culture (forgetting of course Cultural Attache Sir Les Patterson...and Dame Edna does her very best to forget him...).


The South African newspaper reports that the day promises something for everyone, including "biltong and barbies a-plenty, a chance to sample some find Antipodean wines, stubbies and pies, a bikini parade from top surfwear brand and the deep mystical tones of the didgeridoo!"


And best of all, you gorgeous little mites, you could have a Megastar meeting with Simon's Dame Edna, an event which almost certainly will be the highlight of the day, not to mention your entire lives! Call me old-fashioned, but it will!


So quicksticks, Possums, check out the Sandown website and make your plans to join us for one of the highlights of the Antipodean calendar!!!

Dame Edna and a bridesmaid...

You little darlings!

Isn't it spooky how the seasons speed by, Possums? It's hard to believe that the summer is upon us once again.

And as always, with the arrival of summer, comes the busiest season for weddings!

How gorgeous!


When planning for their big day, every bride-to-be hopes to achieve the kind of megastar magic and excitement that Dame Edna has known in her life.

But everyone doesn't have a New Zealand bridesmaid to help them with their preparations, and they worry that their wedding won't have that gigastar glamour they've been dreaming of.


After all, so many brides look at their guest list and think, who are all these non-entities? Others fear that the sheer boredom of the event will make their guests want to take back the gifts! And who could blame them, Possums?




So it comes as no surprise that couples all over the country beg Dame Edna (or rather, a reknowned gigastar impersonator) to attend their weddings, to care and share with their guests, and impart a few magic pearls of Australian wisdom as they set out in life together.





Luckily for them, our very own Dame Edna impersonator Simon Whitehouse is only too happy to come to the rescue! Every year he is invited to weddings up and down the country, adding a dash of gladioli glitz and glamour everywhere he goes.

And so, dear reader, if you're planning a wedding, or hoping to be invited to a celebration blessed with the presence of Edna, you might like a little look at some of these gorgeous photos. Simon's Dame Edna Everage has shared some hilarious moments with her grateful Possums at weddings all over the UK:

Dame Edna Back in the Saddle

Hello Possums! Hello Darlings!

Following the exciting news that Barry Humphries will be a judge on the upcoming BBC One "I'd Do Anything" , various listings on the web indicate that plans are well underway for Housewife/Megastar Dame Edna to hit the road again on tour in the USA!

Earlier this year, the tour had to be postponed, but various US venues are now proudly announcing that their dull little schedules will be brightened up by a visit from Australia's gorgeous international phenomenon in 2009. The new show will be called "Dame Edna Live: My First Last Tour". Non-entities all over the States will be rejoicing in the hope that their rather colourless lives will be blessed with a touch of Gigastar glamour! Such lucky little darlings!

And what of Dame Edna's loyal Possums in the UK?

Well, desperados all over the country continue to get in touch with The Untamed Edna Experience, begging our Dame Edna impersonator Simon to come and recreate a little of the Megastar magic at their parties and celebrations.

And not too long ago, we promised pictures from the fabulous showcase night recently hosted by our good friends at Music Mosaic.

Simon's "Dame Edna" spent the evening caring and sharing with an adoring crowd of movers and shakers, and we're thrilled to bring you a few pics from a glittering evening of fun:

Dame Edna impersonator Simon Whitehouse sparkles in a gorgeous Kenny Everage original.

This little mite looks lovely....must be the lighting!

...and I mean that nicely! I do! I do!

Could that be David Bowie?
Call me old fashioned, Possums, but I think a man wearing make-up is a little bit yucky!
A little bit uncalled-for!

"Dame Edna" Appearance!

You little darlings!

Our mailbag is always full of enquiries from desperate folk hoping to catch a glimpse of our very own Dame Edna impersonator Simon Whitehouse in action. Of course, the majority of his appearances as Edna are at events and gatherings far too exclusive for non-entities such as yourselves.....and I mean that nicely! Call me old-fashioned, but I do!

Movers and shakers around the country clamour for the presence of
Dame Edna at their dull little parties, hoping that a little of her gigastar glamour will rub off on their colourless lives, and that her wisdom and sage advice will gladden their hearts. And inevitably, it does! After all, don't forget that after meeting Dame Edna, Mother Theresa said she felt a better person for it!

Isn't that spooky?!

So I'm thrilled to bring you news of an event to which you're all invited!

Those gorgeous little mites at Music Mosaic (event specialists par excellence!) are hosting a fabulous showcase evening in London on Monday, 28th January featuring their best and brightest entertainment acts. And, of course, the evening wouldn't be complete without the appearance of the world's favourite Housewife/Superstar!

You'll find the invitation by clicking here or you can visit their website and give them a call!

So mark your calendars and we'll see you on the big night, Possums!

And be sure to check back soon, as we'll be letting you know about new additions to Edna's Gorgeous Gallery on the website.

Bye, bye, Darlings! Bye, bye!

Dame Edna lookalike news!

You little darlings!

How are you? Do I sense a certain desperation in Possum-land? Starved of news of the world's most beloved phenomenon and international guru, Dame Edna Everage? Feeling more pathetic than a New Zealand bridesmaid? My goodness, you have reached a low point!

Well, worry not, Possums! We're back this week with news that Dame Edna's seminal television series (for some, more like the ultimate religious experience), The Dame Edna Treatment, will soon be on the airwaves Down Under. Our antipodean friends will be able to gain access to Dame Edna's inner sanctum, better known as Spa Edna. What a lucky bunch of non-entities they are!

But that's not all! This week, I have a gorgeous treat!

You've been asking for news of our gorgeous Dame Edna impersonator, Simon.... and so I've put together a fabulous little photo show for you below. Simon has been a busy old gigastar impersonator lately, caring and sharing up and down the country at a host of weddings, corporate events, and celebrations that otherwise would have been dreadfully dull gatherings indeed! But with a glimpse of gigastar glamour, they've been instantly transformed into life-changing experiences for one and all. Isn't that spooky?

Lights! Camera! Action!



Cool Slideshows!


And don't forget to check out our Picture Galleries on the website. We're busy updating them as we speak, with more gorgeous shots soon to be posted.

Until next time, my darlings - bye, bye!

Australia Day photos!


Hello, Possums!

I'm sure you all remembered that last Friday, the 26th of January, was Australia Day!


Here at The Untamed Edna Experience, we get very excited about Australia Day. Call me old-fashioned, but we do! And this year, to mark the day, we went to Harvey World Travel in Norwich to celebrate with some adoring Norfolk non-entities...


Simon was invited to Castle Mall in Norwich by Harvey World Travel to help commemorate Australia Day, and to do some caring and sharing with Dame Edna's devoted public. Needless to say, it will prove to have been the highlight of their entire lives! I mean, how could anything possibly compare to running into an international gigastar at your local shopping mall??










Someone is not impressed that they're promoting New Zealand too....I mean, Madge is a celebrity in New Zealand, so that tells you quite a lot about the kind of people you'll find there....












An unhappy moment for our Gigastar as she remembers the first time Rolf Harris offered to show her his didgeridoo...












Our thanks to these gorgeous little mites from Harvey World Travel and to Seal Communications for the photos! If you'd like to check out more shots of Simon in action, just go to our Picture Galleries. Until next time, Possums, bye-bye!

Caring and Sharing at John Lewis

Hello, darlings!

Well, John Lewis' VIP event on Saturday was a huge success! And of course, our Australian giga-star (lovingly impersonated by Simon) was at the centre of it all, caring and sharing with all of the gorgeous little possums who came to the John Lewis beauty department looking for a dash of delicious Christmas glamour. Dame Edna is often asked for beauty tips from women all over the world, taking calls from Kate Moss, Iman, and Elle McPherson on an almost hourly basis (she's stopped trying to help Victoria Beckham, because honestly, folks, some people just can't be helped - I mean, look at Madge!), so shoppers were delighted to be in the presence of one of the world's classic style icons...


Hmmm...darling...is this a gift from Ann Summers....it looks a little bit yucky...call me old-fashioned, but it does!!!


These gorgeous little senior citizens don't really have any idea what's going on - they're just enjoying the movement and the colour! Someone call the maximum security twilight home and let them know we have the escapees!


The amazement in understandable...it's not every day you meet someone who was the spiritual adviser to Mother Theresa!


A fellow lover of face furniture!


Is this your father, darling? You might be interested in my work as chairwoman of the Friends of the Prostate!


Darling, you look wonderful... I remember when a coat like that was fashionable!


For a look at more photos of our gorgeous giga-star, click over to this web-page !

Bye-bye, darlings! Bye-bye!

VIP Dame Edna!

Hello, Possums!

Just a quick reminder to all you gorgeous little mites that Simon will be appearing as Dame Edna tomorrow at John Lewis during Oxford Street's VIP (Very Important Pedestrian) Day. We've been told that Australia's greatest gigastar will be on the main floor in the beauty department (no doubt, lots of Kenny's friends will be working there too!), and the appearance will be taking place from approximately 2 - 5 pm.

As Dame Edna always looks so ravishing, I'm sure all sorts of complete non-entities will be clamouring to ask her beauty advice. But sometimes, all the beauty advice in the world won't help if you don't have the bone structure - just look at Madge! Hopeless. So we're leaving her at home to dust and wash the floors.

But never mind about Madge. I think it's going to be a fantastic day - call me old fashioned, but I do! See you there!

Christmas Entertainment Dame Edna Style!

Ho ho ho possums!

It's spooky how quickly the year passes, isn't it? It's nearly Chrissie time, darlings! Have you been good this year? As Dame Edna says, will Santa be visiting you with his bulging sack?

Christmas time is definitely Dame Edna time! One of my favourite Christmas TV moments of all time was on the Parkinson show several years ago when Dame Edna made her "Christmas Address to the Commonwealth". I was absolutely on the floor with laughter! If you haven't yet seen it, run out and get the Dame Edna Christmas DVD - you won't be sorry, I promise! As it says on the DVD case: "Just slip this disc into your facility and the gift of Dame Edna will make your chestnuts sizzle!" Well, who can argue with that? Call me old fashioned, but you can't!

As the Chrissie season fast approaches, it promises to be a busy time for The Untamed Edna Experience! Folks in the know have invited Simon to bring Dame Edna's brand of Australian good will and cheer to their Christmas parties far and wide. To kick things off, those gorgeous little mites at Flight Centre UK have asked us to pop along to their festive soiree tomorrow night at Chelsea Football Club. Edna will come alive on stage in all her megastar glory, singing holiday favourites such as "Dame Edna is Coming to Town" and "We Need an Aussie Christmas" - what could be better? Thankfully, Madge won't be there to spoil things, hanging around the mistletoe with a pathetic and misplaced look of hope in her eyes...

Quicksticks, possums! If you're still looking for some Christmas Entertainment to make the season bright, then check out the The Untamed Edna Experience website for some great ideas. You can take a look at some video footage to experience for yourself the kind of hilarity that Dame Edna can bring to your party or event - creating Christmas memories your guests won't soon forget!!!

I'd best run now, my darlings! I've got to pack up the trunks and run them out to the Edna-Air helicopter - keeping this Australian housewife and international phenomenon on the go is a full time job!

TV Appearance on ITV2 - "The Lookey Likey Show"

Exciting news, possums!

Simon is going to be appearing on TV this week on the ITV2 program "The Lookey Likey Show"!

The sequences were filmed earlier this year, and we've just received word that Simon's segment as Dame Edna will be on this Thursday night at 21:00. So make it a date and join us for some fun and mayhem, Dame Edna style!

We filmed various scenes, as Dame Edna graced the high street with her mega-star presence, overwhelming the non-entities with her glitz and glamour as they did their shopping. Next, she surprised local shoppers as she did her grocery shopping at Tesco - needless to say, it was the highlight of their day (and probably their entire lives)!!!

During filming, we couldn't believe our luck when we spotted a vicar in the store, so we're really hoping that the scenes filmed with him make it into the program! As Dame Edna has provided spiritual advice to so many around the world (including, of course, Mother Theresa), her words of advice about the choices to be made when selecting the juiciest melons were gratefully accepted by the good vicar. Great stuff!

If you want a little more information about the series, you'll find it here:

The Lookey Likey Show

And for the details of Thursday's show, here are the ITV2 listings:

Enjoy!!!

Public Appearance at John Lewis, Oxford Street!



Hello, you little darlings!

We often get asked if people can come and see Simon as Dame Edna at the many events and parties he is asked to attend. However, because most of the appearances he makes are at private functions filled with very glamorous and powerful people, non-entities such as yourselves just wouldn't be admitted (I'm sorry, call me old-fashioned, but you wouldn't!)

But there's good news on the horizon, possums! There is a big public event on the 2nd of December in London, at which Simon will be appearing as Dame Edna! So you can all come and see him thrilling the crowds, caring and sharing, and probing deeply into the lives of Dame Edna's adoring public! Come and join in the fun - your life will never be the same again!

The event is called "Very Important Pedestrians", and Oxford Street will be closed to traffic that day, making it a pedestrian-only shopping street. There will be a number of entertainers on hand throughout the day to add to the fun. Simon has been invited to appear at John Lewis as Dame Edna from approximately 14:00 - 17:00 that day, so if you're in the mood for a shop and a laugh, why don't you join him?

Click on this link to see all the details of the event:

Never mind Hallowe'en, there's only 55 days until Christmas - now that's spooky, possums!!!
