      Do some research - "Dame Edna" is played by a man who was married. The persona is made up to entertain and he also does another who is male like a stereotype of a leering and lecherous drunk, nothing like Edna, the lady. Likewise Robin Williams inThe Birdcage - not gay but plays it very well. Several hundred yrs ago women were always played by men in the theater. The others are homosexual in real life but the comedian playing "Edna" is not. But he is knee-slapping funny!

    The amount of comments that naturally use the pronoun 'she' or 'her' to describe Dame Edna Everage is testament to the brilliance of the late Barry Humphries. To have have successfully created such a convincing character that is in contradiction, so outlandish, so exaggerated that it should be obvious that this is nothing but someone in costume. Yet, that is the genius of Barry Humphries that he was able to find the fine line between just outlandish and exaggerated enough that Dame Edna was conversely, very, very convincing. A brilliant man that I think most of us wanted to be around forever.

She's so overwhelming that nobody can resist her. Whenever she appears in Great Britain all her shows are sold out weeks before her arrival. She 's probably the only comedian who's allowed to gossip about the Royals, international movie stars, politicians and other high-standing people, and she plays her role very well!

    You're absolutely right! Jay Leno's like most other US chat show hosts (those I've seen anyway). He's vain, self-absorbed and HAS to be the centre of attention at all times, which is why he can't cope with Dame Edna taking over the show - as she always does. Other hosts (like Michael Parkinson, Graham Norton in the UK) allow DE the space, sit back and ENJOY! Hell, they even join in when they get a chance! They don't hang back and sulk. DE, Elton & Billie are definitely the stars here!!

      Most people aged under thirty don't like this sort of thing because it's either terribly non-PC or not nasty enough for their tastes. All too subtle highbrow comedy like "Frasier" has faded away because it doesn't appeal to everyone. I reckon that's how much humour has changed in the last twenty years. It appears these days that if a comedian isn't shouting something obvious in your face, they're not funny. Perhaps it's just me!
