Legendary entertainer Barry Humphries - whose alter egos have brought him international acclaim - is to embarks on a farewell tour of the UK.
Act One features gentle, grandfatherly Sandy Stone and the inebriated cultural attaché Sir Les Patterson - this serves as ‘just a bit of foreplay really before I make an orgasmic appearance in Act Two,’ says Dame Edna.
Surrounded by spectacular sets and dancers, the housewife superstar promises to ‘empower’ audiences as she meditates on the big issues of gender, ethnicity and climate change.
