According to this article, actor Barry Humphries will retire his popular character, Dame Edna Everage — and apparently, himself — when he completes his current stage tour. I'm a bit skeptical of this but if he/she comes your way, go see him/her.
He/she (as you can tell, I'm still having what Daffy Duck calls "pronoun trouble") came my way in June of '09 with something called the "First Last Tour." Dame Edna fans, and they are many, thought it might indeed be a farewell because for the first time ever, he ended his show by coming out on stage for a final bow as Barry Humphries. Like I said, I have the feeling Humphries will milk this more-real farewell for all it's worth and cover a lot of ground with it…but you can't go wrong spending an evening with Dame Edna. Unless he/she picks on you/you.
