Oh, that’s very sad. I absolutely adored Dame Edna. Will always remember her giving Julio Iglesias a name badge labelled “HOOL”.

Really sad news. Went to see his show many years ago. I have never laughed so much. Absolutely brilliant. RIP.

Lily Savage passed aswell

Both National treasure icons of British culture in a similar way

I really liked Dame Edna and Julian comedian and elderly lady ...

I have a vivid memory of Dame Edna shouting 'Look! A half-timbered car!' at a Morris Traveller.

Amazing man. I saw him at the Barbican doing a review of German pre war songs, it was superb.

Me too! Also "Lesbianism leaves a nasty taste in my mouth"...

Sad news. Dame Edna got me and DH on stage once - got us to dress up as her , and then made fun of us while making us laugh helplessly. She was great fun. All Australians will be in mourning today, for a great comedic icon .
