Dame Edna Retiring


After an almost 60 year career, Barry Humphries/aka Dame Edna is retiring. Barry is 78 years old and is embarking on one last worldwide tour which will take two years. After that, there will be no more Edna or anyone else. In 2000, Barry won a Tony award for his portrayal of Edna and the show Dame Edna The Royal Tour. Can you imagine that he has managed to play the same character for this long. Amazing.

    Aww so sad to hear this. As a fellow aussie, I grew up with Dame Edna - she is as ingrained in our culture as vegemite is. Barry Humphries is amazing and I wish him all the best on his retirement. Cheers mate!

    Too bad he is retiring the character. But at least there are decades of specials and tv shows to watch again.
