lots of laughs.......2007-08-24

I have been a fan for years. Dame Edna is highlareeous! I love this DVD collection. It's nice to have all the episodes together and the Audiences with Dame Edna are a nice bonus. I think one of those was my first exposure to Dame Edna.

In an A&E interview Robin Williams was asked to name the funniest person alive, and without hesitation he responded: "Barry Humphries". That's a mighty substantial reference, and it's a safe bet that if you like one of these comedians, you'll like if not love the other as well. Both performers are at their absolute best in off-the-cuff, impromptu situations, and fortunately "The Dame Edna Experience" provides a near-perfect format for Humphries.

The heart and genius of these shows is the level of emotional honesty Dame Edna constantly presents us with. E.g. as Sean Connery is droning on about his poor childhood, just at the very moment we start to think, "what a bore this guy is", the camera cuts to Dame Edna -- and there's the exact same thought sitting clear as day on her face. It's absolutely hysterical and, as viewers, rewarding. In her own inimitable way, Dame Edna constantly reminds us of just how ridiculous celebrity really is.

Isn't she GORGEOUS?!.......2005-12-21

I honestly confess there are many times in viewing the wonderment that is Dame Edna Everege when I must remind myself "That is really a MAN named Barry Humphries" (!).

But who could fail to embrace and adore Dame Edna? Her scathing wit, brilliant double entendres, and magnificent facial contortions are all signature of her placement among the "Super-Mega-Stars" and "Squillionairesses" of the world.

Her booming salutation "HELLO POSSUMS!" and her astonishing array of "party frocks" are but two signature themes to her "Experience". And any human who can both balance and ambulate in such fierce pumps is deserving of respect at the very least! Not to mention the dismally silent, perpetually suffering bridesmaid, Madge Alsop -- what a presence she manages to exude without making so much as a murmur! "Quick sticks, woman! The BADGE, Madge -- the BADGE!"

While some of the guests Dame Edna interviews are unknown to modern American viewers, this collection is still worth every moment -- our privilege is to partake of the Dame's "Niceness", to "care and to share", and to be amused no end by her antics.
