The #CoronationConcert tonight is as good a time as ever to remember this zinger from Dame Edna at Buckingham Palace at the 2002 Golden Jubilee. (She may have had a point.)

Barry Humphries. 1934 - 2023.
One of my comedy heroes has left us. His subversive comedy always made us laugh until we hurt and we’ll still laugh with him and his creations for evermore.
Today, these words from Dame Edna’s BBC show in 2019 seem fitting.
Thank you, possum.

Where does one begin with this?
When people have paid (a lot of) money to see the lead in ‘The Bodyguard’ musical do her thing, it's because they want to hear *her* sing ‘How Will I Know’, not Debbie from Macclesfield.
Eyes front, phones off and keep quiet.

Should people be allowed to sing at theatres? 
After one theatre in Manchester banned audiences from singing along, @VanessaOnAir has her say...

An extract I read last night about ‘truth’ from ‘Manners from Heaven’ by the great Quentin Crisp.
Written in 1984 but truer in 2023 now more than ever.
