Ten hours of outright hilarity make up this 5-disc Ednathon, The Dame Edna Experience: The Complete Collection. Every program from Dame Edna's hysterical and historical series plus over 4 hours of side-splitting extras make this collection a must-have for Edna's legion of die-hard fans!

 Rating 5   Written on September 7, 2006
   Summary: Even better than I remembered it
In an A&E interview Robin Williams was asked to name the funniest person alive, and without hesitation he responded: "Barry Humphries". That's a mighty substantial reference, and it's a safe bet that if you like one of these comedians, you'll like if not love the other as well. Both performers are at their absolute best in off-the-cuff, impromptu situations, and fortunately "The Dame Edna Experience" provides a near-perfect format for Humphries.

The heart and genius of these shows is the level of emotional honesty Dame Edna constantly presents us with. E.g. as Sean Connery is droning on about his poor childhood, just at the very moment we start to think, "what a bore this guy is", the camera cuts to Dame Edna -- and there's the exact same thought sitting clear as day on her face. It's absolutely hysterical and, as viewers, rewarding. In her own inimitable way, Dame Edna constantly reminds us of just how ridiculous celebrity really is.

The Dame is hilarious! It's spooky!

   Summary: Isn't she GORGEOUS?!
I honestly confess there are many times in viewing the wonderment that is Dame Edna Everege when I must remind myself "That is really a MAN named Barry Humphries" (!).

But who could fail to embrace and adore Dame Edna? Her scathing wit, brilliant double entendres, and magnificent facial contortions are all signature of her placement among the "Super-Mega-Stars" and "Squillionairesses" of the world.

Her booming salutation "HELLO POSSUMS!" and her astonishing array of "party frocks" are but two signature themes to her "Experience". And any human who can both balance and ambulate in such fierce pumps is deserving of respect at the very least! Not to mention the dismally silent, perpetually suffering bridesmaid, Madge Alsop -- what a presence she manages to exude without making so much as a murmur! "Quick sticks, woman! The BADGE, Madge -- the BADGE!"

While some of the guests Dame Edna interviews are unknown to modern American viewers, this collection is still worth every moment -- our privilege is to partake of the Dame's "Niceness", to "care and to share", and to be amused no end by her antics.

   Summary: CONSUMATE ACTOR AND OR ACTRESS
I have fully enjoyed viewing this compendium of Barry Humphries most estimable claim to fame and the actor#actress#thespian is to be commended for the accomplishments of his-her theatrical triumphs. Barry Humphries has written a heartfelt book about his life and success and failures and interpersonal crises and I commend Mr. Barry Humphries on his perseverance and brilliance.

   Summary: The badge, Mage....
I loved these shows when they first aired. So funny, and totally not "PC"... Dame Edna is funny, thinks fast and can put the most high flying celebraties in check. Those celebrities who come on to talk about a book or a play, get more than a free promotion.

Madge has got to be the best side kick any act could have. She doesn't smile much, and provides the straight face for Dame Edna. Every now and again though, she gets her way.

The extras are good - some of "An Audience With" shows, fun in themselves.

I hope the shows she made for US tv will come out on DVD soon.
