He didn't. Dame Edna Everage is just one of the characters he plays, as an actor. Dame Edna was created early in Humphries' career, when 'she' made her Australian debut at Melbourne's Union theatre on 13 December 1955. Humphries brought her to the British stage in 1969 for his one-man show "Just a Show". For some reason, the character struck a chord with audiences, so he has maintained her character through the years.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
