This compilation of Dame Edna Everage's most dramatic entrances, alongside some of her work, shows how she uses satire to play with the idea of celebrity whilst at the same time claiming the status of celebrity for herself. There is also an appearance by her 'manager', Barry Humphries.
Excerpts come from The Mike Walsh Show (1979–85), Willesee At Seven (1975), An Aussie Audience With Dame Edna (1986) and The Dame Edna Experience (1987).
