Is Dame Edna very popular in Australia?

We love Dame Edna . She is a real Aussie Icon. Barry Humphries [alias Dame Edna] certainly is a genius have you seen him play Les Pattison as well. Haven't seen him on TV in Australia for sometime but I guess he is busy overseas. Yes Dame Edna certainly gives us all a laugh. I wouldn't call him a drag queen just an excellent actor playing a superb role
