Dame Edna Everage

[Chavster]

An Australian icon.

But... a comic genius with impeccable timing and a dry sense of humo(u)r, or a pointless unintelligent drag queen in a far away country with ridiculous glasses, terrible dress sense and very little going on upstairs?

Discuss.

Every time I see him, or something he's written, I just want to punch him in the face.

[tomgallagher]

And that's considered hot stuff in Aussie land eh.?

[Chavster]

Apparently, although I think he's bigger in the UK than in Australia.

[Razor X]

I thought he was dead but apparently I was mistaken.

[tomgallagher]

I thought he was dead but apparently I was mistaken.

That was just his humor giving you that impression.

Lots of double entendre.  I get a real laugh out of her stuff.  She's obviously borrowed some of her gag matter from others like Phyllis Diller, but the twists and turns are funny.
