    I saw Dame Edna at the Moore Theatre in Seattle in January 2015 and got to talk with him out in the parking lot afterwards. He was happy that I have the DVD's of his shows "Neighbourhood Watch". Such a lovely man. The gladiolas he gave me lasted for a long time. I will always miss him. Rest in peace, sweet man.

    I saw Dame Edna 5 times on stage in London. In ‘ Back with a vengeance’ in 1989, she was raised on a crane like contraption in order to meet her paupers which were members of the audience sitting in ‘ the gods’. ‘ I’m very high up possums’ she said. ‘ Hope I don’t have any little involuntary reactions. Be it on your own heads if I do’. Wonderful memories.

    From his autobiography (title escapes me, but well worth reading), here's one of his stories (slightly paraphrased by me) from his early childhood growing up in Melbourne, a very upper-middle class and staid community.
    On his street lived an extremely prim and proper family in the traditional mould: stay at home mother, banking executive father doing his daily 9-5, only child little girl, about 5 or 6. Being on her own, she got bored quite easily.
    She was allowed to play on the front lawn, but was strongly forbidden to venture beyond those boundaries.
    However, one day, something exciting happened. On the vacant plot next door on the other side of the chainlink fence, some builders turned up and started to lay the foundations for a new house.
    Of course, the girl was fascinated: so much more interesting than her dollies and other toys. She observed intently everything the guys did going about their duties. They in turn noticed her and idly chatted with her every now and again.
    The mother observed all of this, and talked privately with the foreman, who invited the little one over as a 'helper'. Overjoyed!! So for the next days and weeks, instead of a pretty dress, she put on 'work clothes & wellies' and did a few safe and undemanding jobs with the labourers for a couple of hours each day; Mother instructed her not to make a nuisance of herself by asking too many questions and be as quiet as possible and to do as she was told. She was especially in her element at smoko (breaktime), pretending to be Mother and pouring the tea for all the lads, listening intently to their conversations.
    Eventually, after a couple of weeks the guys had a whipround, and on their payday presented her with an envelope with a few dollars inside so she wouldn't feel left out.
    The little girl was ecstatic, and ran home to her mummy with it and wanted to go and buy some new toys. However, her mother was careful and cautious and told her they would have to open a bank account and save it for a 'rainy day'. (Girl was confused and didn't understand as they were always sunny days in that part of Australia.)
    So next day they went into town to visit her father's bank. Of course, the female teller recognised them and said to the little one:
    "Wow, so much money! Where did you get it from?"
    "I've been working on building a house next door.These are my wages!!"
    "Gosh! You're such a big girl now. Was it hard work?"
    "Oh, not too bad, thank you for asking."
    "Did you learn a lot?"
    "Yes, I think one day, when I grow up, I might join that profession."
    "And are you going to be doing any more building soon?"
    "Well, we will if the fucking bricks ever turn up. And we're going to be demanding more pay from that bloody bastard big boss!!"

    In 1962 Barry brought his show "A nice night's entertainment" from Sydney to Newcastle where I was 12 years old. There were posters on the telegraph poles advertising his show. My mother said he was too "riske" and that I should ignore him. At that age I really wanted to go to his show. He invented performance art, and used it to demonstrate how boring and politically correct was conservative Melbourne culture in the 1950s. It still is, those Melbournites really are up themselves. Anyway he came to Sydney and became a leader of new comedy in Australia. In have always loved his attack on Conservative society, and now miss him terribly. Dr Sir Les Patterson is my favourite character. No worries!

    and lost on most people is dame edna's (astutely political) dissing of jay leno, you've got elton john and billie jean king and she (purposely in my mind) gives leno the cold shoulder, in a humorous way of course. brilliant comedy and political shrewd wit.
