    He disappeared into his characters so completely, that they seemed more genuine than some "real" people. What a talent!

    I think deep down many blokes would like to like Les and just enjoy life. Humphries was such an intelligent man and his quick wit was remarkable. It's such a shame that comedians of his calibre have virtually disappeared.. which reminds me...I am overdue finding something to be offended about!! 4

    Struth, its years since I've seen Dame Edna, about 20... and I had no idea the fellow behind that visage was such a comedic giant, there's a true master of his craft if ever there was one, it simmers in every waggle of his lecherous eyebrows, every glance perfectly timed, perfectly punctuated... how typical that is - just as he passes, I realise what he is. Aye, ain't that the way of it?!?

    @JollyGraham Před 3 měsíci +1

    I remember attending his show in London many years ago. I think the Less Patterson character had just been evolved so when he walked on stage after the interval, and with the house lights still on, nobody recognised him.
    He introduced himself as the Australian Cultural Attaché and it took a while before people realised that it was Barry Humphries. Needless to say he was hilarious. RIP Sir Less.
