I’m a new convert to Dame Edna and I just can’t stop watching her videos. She makes me laugh out loud.

What a wonderful thing to have had the honour of watching Barry over the years.

I saw Dame Edna live on Broadway. “Helllloooooo POSSUMMMS!!” and throwing kisses and gladioli to the audience members. Just brilliant. ❤

There isn’t nobody to take the place of dame Edna 😂 Barry thank you for giving us so many memories of that beautiful lady 😂 RIP you are sadly missed ❤

I am glad that I found this special. I was prompted to watch it after the passing of Barry Humphries. I had vague memories of seeing bits of this show. It was very funny. Humphries certainly had a quick wit. I had forgotten that the then Mayor of Essendon was in the audience.

This is one amazingly famous people filled audience. Truly bloody amazing. The Dame was simply superb.

Anyone remember Dame Edna’s Neighbourhood Watch in the early/mid 90’s? Used to love that as a kid.

[@trapezoidspangle934]

Thanks for putting this up. Always loved Barry Humphries.

I spent an afternoon alone with Barry Humphries in 1992 and lived to tell the tale.

Dame Edna. No one comes anywhere close to this level of comedy. She reigns almighty even to this day. God bless you Mr Barry Humphries.

I just love this character. Mum lives in Moonee Ponds.
