  • DAME EDNA EVERAGE LIVE IN MELBOURNE
    Recorded at the State Theatre Victorian Arts Centre [August 15th, 2003]
    "A Leaf Out Of Dame Edna's Book"
    00:00 Prologue: Barry Humphries - The Art of Alf Dunn
    06:38 Dr Sir Les Patterson - Address to the Nation
    31:33 Owen Steele - Address to the Share Holders
    43:13 Alexander Horace Stone - Crying in the Wilderness
    1:12:27 Dame Edna Everage - Aspects of Perception/Gladdy Time
    There was a copyright claim on the song "As Time Goes By". RUclips Studio said that I could either cut the audio for 1 minute, or cut both the audio and video. I chose to just cut the audio.
    These are Alexander's last words: But you know Beryl, she didn't mind going back to the facility and the Korean carers. Because she had forgotten about her toiletries and the thirsty hydrangea and the lost slipper. You see she'd been down to St. Kilde. She could hear the music again. I was never much of a dancer. But Beryl used to like to sing when she was dancing, save talking. I never said anything, just "Sorry". "Sorry", I was sorry too. I am sorry.

    I have never forgotten the time we went to a theatre just off Piccadily Circus in London in the 1970's. There was a large flashing neon sign amongst the lights at the Circus pointing to the theatre and saying "Lovely Australian Lady This Way". From the moment he stepped onstage to the curtain the whole audience was in fits of laughter. I'll never forget the disgusting bloke holding a drink who appeared from the back just behind us and shambled down to the stage spraying spit all over people on the way. It was, of course, Sir Les
    Patterson, a character I had never seen before. Unforgettable and a great loss, though all good things come to an end. Thanks Barry and Rest In Peace.

    His audience monologue an hour and a half in is abs FANtasTIC. Barry's true genius lies in the ad-lib element. I don't think there's a celeb/comic in all of Hollywood that can match his ability. Bravo! Simply outstanding.

    • @newgabe09
      @newgabe09 6 месяцев назад

      Yes, he was a genius and part of this comes from him being extremely erudite. He was a scholar of literature and art as well as a brilliant actor, who disdained and critiqued the concept of 'celebrity'.

Fun to see a couple characters that I've never met during performances I enjoyed, here in the US. And Dame Edna's closing fur reminded me of pal Liberace's opening coat. Entire show absolutely beautiful and entertaining. Thank you Mr Barry . . . and looking forward to another visit from Dame Edna to the US. ♥️♥️

    Absolutely astonishing! Barry's characters are brassy, brazen, bold and beautiful. The subtle and sophisticated understanding, the intuitive intelligence, the simultaneous reverence and loathing of all things unworthy and banal, all form part of Humphries' extraordinary razor-sharp eye for detail and his deep, thoroughgoing humanity.

    A real Humphries tour de force, one man on stage for 2 1/2 hours, what a show! I was lucky enough to have seen Dame Edna on stage in 2016, but here are 3 more characters plus the man himself. Edna was bad taste posing as elegance, egotism posing as humility, cruelty posing as compassion, stinginess posing as generosity - all the defining postures of modern society, politics and celebrity - and somehow making it the funniest thing ever. I’ve never laughed so much in all my 80 years. Genius.
