RIP Wee Jum 1,279 Posted January 12 I forgot he was still alive. Seems to be ages since Dame Edna retired, probably not as long as I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheKeysOfMarinus 91 Posted January 12 Seems to be going strong, I feel fairly confident he’ll be still around for his 90th in just over two years time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 7,283 Posted May 14 Not looking remotely dead when I had an encounter with the man last night - finished the show by announcing another tour and different show to follow this one. Left me wondering how many (if any) luvvies or the like have done anything like a one man show aged 100. I know it was a running gag in George Burns' shows that he couldn't have a 100th birthday party because he'd be playing a gig in Caesar's Palace that night (he made 100 but was too weak to do the gig - though he joked that what he wanted for his birthday was a night with Sharon Stone). Anyway, Barry might still be on stage in 12 years time: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
