Dame Edna Everage - International Housewife, Therapist, Gigastar, Fashion Icon, Guru and Swami - is squeezing her beloved San Francisco possums in to her hectic global schedule for the last time in the world premiere of Dame Edna - Live and Intimate in Her First Last Tour at San Francisco's Post Street Theatre beginning Thursday, November 20 and continuing through Sunday, January 4, 2009.

In Dame Edna - Live and Intimate in Her First Last Tour, Edna "will display her unique genius with a new and vibrantly stimulating theatrical infrastructure", addressing an exciting range of cutting edge comedy solutions. Edna will also be welcoming some very special guests on-stage, including her dysfunctional daughter Valmai as well as international diplomat, Sir Les Patterson , who will be offering advice on a variety of topics ranging from gay marriage to the state of the nation.

"My life is full of agonizing choices, and I'm booked out for decades. But I had to give my devoted San Francisco possums first taste of this wonderful farewell show."
