DAME EDNA EVERAGE & SIR LES PATTERSON HAVE DRIVEN BARRY HUMPHRIES COMPLETELY & UTTERLY BONKERS

Everything must come to an end they say, and the retirement of Dame Edna Everage & her totally fugly bucked toothed brother, Sir Les Patterson, earlier this week brings the curtain down on a golden era of satirical genius which only Dame Edna and Sir Les could ever keep dishing up since they burst onto the australian and worldwide theatre stage in the 1960`s for Edna and the 70`s for Sir Les. Edna is of course so easily recognisable with her lilac coloured glammed up hair, cat eye glasses and her signature greeting HELLO POSSUMS, while Les' goofy outrageousness and hobo dress sense has made him an excuse to break out in stitches everytime he he has hit the stage since his maiden public performance at the St. George Leagues Club in 1974. Edna beat him to the punch on stage by around ten years. The two of them aren't very close, Dame Edna married a man by the name of Barry Humphries in the year of 1957, is a protestant and has lived with Barry in Melbourne her whole life when she hasn't been overseas, while her little brother Sir Les, who is single & currently boarding in the garden shed of former New South Wales Labor premier Kristina Keneally, whose property backs onto that of Ian Roberts and Fred Nile, is a gay catholic who lives a life of seclusion when he is not up on the stage and making everyone laugh, whether it be here in Australia or abroad. An old fashioned satire double act which is an irreplacable part of australian folklore and culture, even though in private they've been fighting like cats and dogs for 50 years and driving Barry Humphries completely bonkers.
