There have actually been several. She was first played by Madeleine Orr for quite some time, but sadly she died of cancer and Madge disappeared for a while. I think her wishes were that the character carried on so Barry created a story line where Madge had several plastic surgery operations and between each was played by a different short term actress. The final time Madge took off the bandages was when she was played by Emily Perry, who went on to become the Madge we all know and love.
@@dameednaeveragetheofficial6731 thanks for clarifying that Dame! I knew of you in Hong Kong even over 20 years ago and I have been living in London since 2006 and was luckily on one of the filming of your Dame Edna treatment. I witnessed your humor, quick wit and kindness toward your audience. I wish you well and healthy and can continue to bring us joy and laughters.
I was on the verge of feeling ashamed about the incredible fact that this videos are the first exposure to her talent I've had, I simply did not know about her. But the happiness I am getting because of her comes from timeless places, so there is no time to feel ashamed. She is simply unique. Sui generis.
There are people not even born yet who will discover Dame Edna in fifty years time. The most important thing is that we enjoy the work that remains. Barry would want us to laugh and smile.
Dame Edna quote "Said a few lovely things to him paid him a few compliments, but you know, there isn't any compliment you pay John that he hasn't paid himself". LOL classic subtle burn
We will never see such a talent like Dame Edna again. The world is a sadder place without her. RIP Dame Edna, Sir Les and Sandy Stone, but none of these people would have been around, with out the massive talent of Barry Humphries.
now more than ever this year 2020 , we need to see dame edna everage to make us laugh , its medicine for me , i adore graham norton .please have dame edna back , we miss her
Just sad ... the first time I saw Dame Edna as a kid was on Parkinson ... my lovely late father .... " what a man in a womens dress ... no way" .... within 10 minutes he was laughing more than I have ever seen him do .... RIP Barry ... you will be missed more than you will ever know💌
Still makes me sad when Madge died.I was very young when I first saw Dame Edna and Madge on the telly back in the 70"s .I wonder where Sir Les is these days.
I imagine sir Les got sprung in some awful compromising position and perhaps lost his role as an Australian diplomat... Or was given a raise which is more likely.
Lol, I lived on the same floor as Josh at uni about a million years ago, wasn't expecting that 🤣 The girl before I think I knew at uni too, pretty sure her name was Cally. OH NOSTALGIA.
Theres a barge on the Rochdale Canal at Hebden Bridge called Marge the Barge whenever I see it reminds me of the Dame Edna Experience series when Madge gave the guests namebadges most memorable ones for me being Chuck for Charlton Heston and Bet for Lauren Bacall
@Ivy Mossgarden she was born Betty Perske but changed it to Bacal when her parents divorced Warner Brothers gave her the name Lauren Bacall but she didn't like it.
Most comedians i think are scripted with their wit on the stage & screen. In person; not so funny. Dame is quick witted on the spot funny. No script needed.
New to British comedy scene? Their comedians are required to be witty or they won't be invited into panel shows as panelist (not "dictionary corner" guest).
We lost 2 legends today. Barry and Dame Edna, there will never be anyone like them. Rest in Peace.❤️🌹
PaulO’Grady,Jerry Springer ,Len Goodman,Dame Edna who is Barry?
Perfectly said.......😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face
Three really, Sir Les is sorely missed
RIP Barry Humphries (February 17, 1934 - April 22, 2023), aged 89
You will always be remembered as a legend.
"Does your mother know you've got her cardigan?" Hahahaha that is low-key shady but I love it 🤣🤣
A really brilliant entertainer, will be missed. RIP
So sad to hear he has passed away. RIP Dame Edna. You bought wholesome fun to so many people! xx

Dame Edna is a Living National Treasure in more than one country.
The subtle insults are gold. No one else could pull it off 😂
Dame Edna is so funny .. and shady as hell ! i love clever sense of humour !
"Celia... not a name you hear much nowadays... but you'd hear it a lot, wouldn't you?"
The only time I've ever seen Mr. Norton absolutely delighted!
There is only one Madge, she can never be replaced!

Madge or Edna?
Its important, because New Zealand gets a bit cranky when we steal their notables
I lovedMadge... Madge - the badge, give them a badge, Madge
Absolutely priceless and irreplaceable
RIP - Barry and thankyou for all the fun!

Love ya, Dame Edna. Too funny!
I LOVE Dame Edna Everage!
RIP Barry Humphries (Dame Edna). You lit up the world with your humour!
"Do you have any experience in being silent?" Haha
I watched this over and over and all the reactions were so sweet and funny.
I'm so sorry and sad to hear that we've lost Dear Madge. Sweetness and Light 💓 to her.
Actresse Emily Perry ('Madge the badge') aged 100 . 💕
Edna and Madge are now reunited. Vale Barry Humphries. 1934 - 2023. An Australian National Treasure that we will never see the like of again.

Yes Hi Frank ...hope you have a good week.Thank you for your reply. 🌈
Mrs. Doubtfire would have been a good partner for Dame Edna. They would have made a fantastic duo.
ua-cam.com/video/o4PqPWZ1hX8/v-deo.html
In fact Robin Williams admits in an interview that he based Mrs. Doubtfire partially on Dame Edna.
Genius of a man and a fine dame too!
I love how Graham can hardly keep it together
Genuine genius 😂
Dame Edna cracked Me up. Loved her 😢
Awesome 👌
That obelisk joke does it ever(adge) y time!!
Still brilliant!!!!
Love me some dame!
Celia's Adelaide reference! She knows stuff.
RIP. Dame
Koooooool 👍💕💕💕💕💕💕
Legend! 😂😂😂🙏🙏
X Factor/Britain's Got Talent missed a trick not having Norton and Dame Edna as judges.
My sidekick
“Chalk Farm “ good heavens 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂belter
That was my favourite
gonna miss her backhanded compliments😂
I love the man behind Debbie.
robin williams did the shaky hands joke on dame's hollywood show.
Rip the dame
Graham Norton is a lot like Mr. Humphreys.
Haven´t we seen Celia with "Insulate Britain"?
Da me need another beverage
Or
Dam e need another beverage
See the word play
Kiddies
The new Madge was great was she really picked by chance or was it a setup?
I think it was probably a setup.
Definitely a set-up.
@@carolinewiggins2803 Yes on reflection it was a set up she was too good 😊
Well done Celia. Missing Dame Edna ❤
I'm looking for someone with very low self esteem lol
Most comedians i think are scripted with their wit on the stage & screen. In person; not so funny. Dame is quick witted on the spot funny. No script needed.
New to British comedy scene? Their comedians are required to be witty or they won't be invited into panel shows as panelist (not "dictionary corner" guest).
Made the big mistake of watching this while brushing my teeth... messy
Shame on the Melbourne comedy
She was just the funniest woman on TV. Bye bye Barry.
