Dame Edna Everage will be re-teaming with Sir Les Patterson next month for a U.K. tour of Last Night of the Poms. The two first performed this show in 1982 at Royal Albert Hall in London.

In Poms, Dame Edna and Sir Patterson are backed by a full orchestra, conducted by Carl Davis, CBE. Davis has also composed specialty material for the performers, including a parody of Peter and the Wolf which has become Peter and the Shark.

The Poms tour begins with a performance on September 15 at Royal Albert Hall. Subsequently the show will be seen in Brighton, Birmingham, Bournemouth, and Liverpool.
