It isn't often when Seattle welcomes a True icon (besides Cher) but when it does, all of Seattle's LGBTQA communities rushes to see it. Dame Edna is an Icon that is still going strong after 50 plus years.
Dame Edna is NOT a Drag queen in the sense of NW Treasure, Darcelle XV, (There are some similarities), but a Male (and 'Straight') Comedian from across the pond (Australia native and London presence), that just happens to be a caricature of the prim and proper royalty of yesteryear, as Seattle's Moore Theater was packed for Night One of of three night appearance.
The similarities with Darcelle, is the fact they still are working in their 80's (Edna is 81, and Darcelle is 84) and they both wear flats, (Edna's shoes have at least a 1/2 inch heal) but their longevity is the envy of so many.
