Ok..So it's not really a concert, but I got to see Dame Edna tonight in San Fran..Holy crap..What is it about an old woman (;) ) dancing that is so funny??? Anywho, he/she made me pee myself from laughing so hard..Made fun of a bunch of people in the audience, then brought them up to do a scene of when Dame Edna told her family that she wanted to act..I think the old man in the leather biker outfit was the best.. :yes: Ahhh..Good stuff, possums..:D

It's called Shock Treatment. It's available for rent. Don't expect much. Good songs, though.

Didn't Robin Williams character in Mrs. Doubtfire use the word possums as a word of affection? I bet he got it from Dame Edna...
