Dame Edna Everage Comes To Post Street 11/20

Following the national success of her previous Tony attracting shows, "The Royal Tour" and "Back with a Vengeance," Dame Edna Everage - International Housewife, Therapist, Gigastar, Fashion Icon, Guru and Swami today proclaimed she will appear at San Francisco's Post Street Theatre for a limited engagement beginning Thursday, November 20 and continue through Sunday, January 4, 2009. Opening Night is set for Sunday, November 23, 2008.  Tickets go on sale today at the Post Street Theatre box office, by phone at 415-771-6900 and on the web at www.ticketmaster. com.

Dame Edna is currently crafting a new and uniquely intimate offering on her private multi-million-acre, possum-infested luxury estate in her native Australia.

All will soon be revealed with "Dame Edna - Live and Intimate in Her First Last Tour" to her adoring and loyal American audiences. She will display her unique genius with a new and vibrantly stimulating theatrical infrastructure (to use her own vivid phrase), addressing an exciting range of cutting edge comedy solutions.

On making the announcement, Dame Edna said today "I don't do shows Possums, I make History! In a spooky way I am theater in the making. My shows are really not shows at all, they are not Events; they are MIRACLES which you can proudly tell your grandchildren you witnessed."

Dame Edna has been revealing her Entertainment Solutions both on Broadway and the length and breadth of America for the last nine years, and never have Americans needed to laugh, cry and give standing ovations as much as they do today. Dame Edna's performances have won a Tony Award and one Tony Nomination and countless critical awards.
