What could be more wonderful for Dame Edna fans than this dvd that includes two Dame Edna Christmas specials ("Dame Edna's Christmas Experience" and "A Night on Mount Edna"). The first of the two specials includes such stars as Roger Moore and the second features Mel Gibson and Gina Lolabridigda. But it is the Dame herself, Australia's megastar housewife that will drawn you in. With her wicked one liners and quick wit, Dame Edna will have you laughing in no time. Also included on this dvd is "One More Audience With Dame Edna", which features Dame Edna taking questions from an audience that has Ringo Starr, Jeffery Archer and Dame Judi Dench. Finally, Dame Edna's address to the Commonwealth is included from 2001. As usual, Dame Edna's New Zealand bridesmaid, Madge, is along for the ride as well. If you are a Dame Edna fan, this dvd is a MUST for your collection. If you haven't heard of Dame Edna or you are a fan of British comedy, do yourself a favor and buy this wonderfully funny dvd. Highly recommended!!!!

I had known of the fabulous Dame Edna, of course---who could not? It would be like not knowing about Coca-Cola, or sunshine, or death---but had never experienced one of her shows for myself. What a fool I was! And I now must consider myself a complete convert to her mix of semi-surreal autobiography, narcissism, and celebrity worship. Where else would one see Charlton Heston, dressed in a pink apron, dump a potful of cheese fondue on Julio Iglesias' lap, while Gina Lolabrigida looked one in fastidious dismay? Where else would one hear remarks like "Darling! You look marvelous! It must be the lighting!" or "You have a home in Ibiza, do you? I remember when that was fashionable..."

This CD was a wonderful gift to find under the Christmas tree. While skewering the very British institutions of talk shows and celebrity love-fest interviews, the humor goes far, far beyond the topical and cultural insular--this woman is universal! A force of nature! A goddess! My instinct is to drop everything, buy a ticket to New York City, and beg, borrow, or bribe my way into one of her live performances.

What a riot! I forgot her/him for a long time but this dvd brought back memories. Very funny with goot prat falls and sight gags, I like the little things you have to pay attention to to catch. I like to be entertained but I also like to have my brain teased, good stuff.

Well, every home should balance the sweetness of any one of those re-makes of "A Christmas Carol" set in England, with the "Dame Edna Experience Christmas Specials" which showcases this grand dame of British comedy sweetly racy humor, 'gorgeous' gowns, and crazy songs... and then there are her guest stars (detailed in other reviews)... the best being the hunky Mel Gibson interview in Edna's swiss 'sauna' (before Gibson went religious fanatic on us). Such fun to watch with a whole bunch of your closest friends, on a double-bill with "Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special".

Wow, what great delivery on this item. I was pleasantly surprised. The DVD is in perfect condition, and I have had plently of laughs watching it. This is great entertainment. Thank you for the prompt service!

It is difficult to locate DVDs for comedy. This is no exception. These are now collector items. I would suggest making a collection. They are not going to be available new again.

Dame Edna fans are wanting to see the neighborhood watch programs on dvd but there out here for over 100.00 and its not fair,lets get these programs to the public for a reasonable price.

Got this for one of my bosses at work. We have a running joke about Dame Edna. The title of this review was his comments back to me upon opening it. and I have to agree!

Barry is a hoot as Dame Edna I watch this DVD when I'm feeling down And I Laugh the whole way through it His face expresstions are so funny And her brides maid Madge Is so funny ( I heard it's his wife in real Life) I Like the second Christmas show " (with mel gibson )Christmas On Mount Edna when she open madge's hand bag to get a name pin for his Guest & starts to Gag at the smell Of madge's bag ( as He says "Smells Like an Open Grave" Funny Stuff here

Edna makes every day seem like Christmas! Every time she opens her mouth, you recieve a verbal present. I love her!!!
