So, as I was just Twittering, there's something unfair about the funniest woman in town being a guy. Dame Edna Everage is on his/her "First Last Tour" at the moment. After the event, I overheard a die-hard Edna fan telling someone that they'd seen him/her a half-dozen times and this was the best ever. Since much of the show is improvised each night, that might not be the case tomorrow…but this evening was certainly smashing.
The fan also said that he believed that this might be Barry Humphries' last tour as the eccentric lady; that he's calling it the "First Last Tour" because he's not sure about that. Just in case it is, you owe it to yourself to see this creature at least once, live on stage. This may not be easy to do since he/she (I'm having what Daffy Duck would call Pronoun Trouble) is only in Los Angeles 'til the 21st, then it's on to Fort Worth for a week and apparently nothing is scheduled after that. Here's a link to the Dame Edna website in case you'd like to keep abreast of other possible wanderings.
The less I tell you about the proceedings, the more you'll enjoy them…but Dame Edna sings and chats with people in the audience and brings a few up on stage for more in-depth interviews. And basically, you just sit there and laugh 'til you can't laugh any longer. I can't give a comedy show a better review than that, can I?
