Dame Edna: Best Actress or Best Actor or Both?

I ran into a politician who stated he saw Dame Edna on Broadway. He told me how hilarious she was. In the midst of the conversation, I realized he did not know that Dame Edna is really a man, Barry Humphries. Which really shows how good the show must be: people are finding it funny without getting the main joke. (Of course, the real joke might be that voters elect a politician who can't tell a man from a woman. At least this isn't an issue facing too many legislative votes.)
