    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!!

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.

      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.

    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.

    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
      @knavishlassie Před rokem +3

    I am a longtime fan of Graham Norton and I adore Dame Edna. The two of them together are simply hilarious. They complement one another beautifully. I wish this clip was much longer, as I could have watched it without end.

    Mary Quant, Dame Edna Everage, Sir Les Patterson & Barry Humphries have all left us over the last week & a bit. At this rate there'll be nobody left.

    I love that Graham hinted at wanting to become the Eurovision commentator and then he did and still is to this day!

    Dame Edna always knew how to read a British audience.

    As a longtime Norwegian fan of all of Barry Humphrie's unique characters (now - in these "extremely politically correct times" - Sir Les is of course my favorite) - I want to thank BH for hours of laughter, hours of reflection, hours of joy and satisfaction. 🥰😍
    For us Norwegians, the programs also offer a rare diversion from our normal lives - to try to avoid being eaten by polar bears.

      That's magnificent. I'm surprised that Sir Les translates so well, that you get it, because it's very specifically old school Australian.
