  • @cinemaipswich4636
    @cinemaipswich4636 Před rokem +2

    Barry Humphreys has now passed us by, but what a wonderful comic he truly was. Dame Edna Everage is not some drag queen, or some guy in a frock. Dame Edna is an institution, a mountain of comedy, satire, ridicule, pathos and an outrageous ordinary person. No one is like Barry. We are blessed.

  • @vomgrady
    @vomgrady Před rokem +8

    I had the pleasure of meeting Dame Edna at Buckingham Palace years ago. I was talking to Barry's son and Edna went off to the toilets and I noticed she went in to the ladies. I asked Barry's son if Barry does that when he is in character. The answer was "No, that's a new one"

    A restrained Dame Edna in this clip, as Loose Women is Lunchtime TV show. Others have mentioned his other persona, Sir Les Patterson. Surprisingly, a Statesman for the Australian Government, sitting on the Australian Cheese Board and also The Cultural Attaché to The Court of Saint James in London.
    I said ‘surprisingly’ as I’m sure you will be surprised by his appearance and demeanour. Also, for those of a nervous disposition. I fear that his exquisitely tailored suit, baggy at the knees. Often fails to effectively conceal what lies beneath, when captured by unwary Camera Operators during his Talk Show interviews. 😮 🫢

    I saw his live farewell tour of the UK, it was fantastic. But Edna was a fixture on British TV from the sixties, she had her own chat show at one time. The Dame Edna Experience. Is you saw The Hobbit, Barry played the Great Goblin.

    Dame Edna is a national treasure. I'd agree with others here about the Michael Parkinson chat show. It's old, but a masterclass in showmanship and wit and sharp British humour. Spellbinding.

    I'm pretty certain I've seen Dame Edna and/or Sir Les Patterson interviewed on US late night TV.

    Barry Humphries has appeared on many US talk shows from the 1960’s until he passed on.
    Originally appearing as himself or one of his 3 main characters, when Dame Edna became popular in the US, he was mostly interviewed as Dame Edna and sometimes Sir Les.
    Dame Edna had a guest appearance on an episode of Elli McBeal as a normal actor playing a role.......credited and advertised as Dame Edna with Barry getting a tiny credit right at the end of the credits that no one ever watched.
    The episode was well received, and Dame Edna got a short permanent role playing a secretary for the law firm. lol

    • @richardcarter5082
      @richardcarter5082 Před rokem

      The difference is Barry Humphreys had class and was not overly sexual, and most definitely didn't try to sexualise children. I am certain that Barry would not have a good opinion on the modern drag scene. They are now a bunch of degenerates.

    I saw Barry Humphries on stage many years ago. He did a number of his characters including Dame Edna and Sir Les. By the end of the show my jaw and my stomach ached from laughing so much. Didn’t even have a break from laughing in the intermission as they put up crazy, fake headlines, like ‘Crazed tampon slays elderly couple.’ Brilliant night!

    Edna Everage was originally based on Barry Humphries' mother, then extended through creative license. He did not have a close relationship with her and found it hard to understand her as she did him. Last night I watched, 'Who Do You Think You Are,' SBS Australian TV series featuring Barry's ancestry, where he came to have a better understanding of his mother's character from examination of her line in the family tree.

  • @thatfelladownunder9396

    RIP Barry Humphries. So iconic he was offered a State Funeral from 2 States here in Aus. Not sure that’s happened a lot. But goes to show.

  • @bernadettelanders7306

    Guess you’ve heard by now Dame Edna, Barry passed away here yesterday our Melbourne time. Brilliant man. I saw him live as Edna in the 1970s here in Melbourne. Only by coincidence I was looking today for a photo I took but I found a pic of Barry I took. He was in a music shop in Melbourne city, in a bed, in the front store window 😂. I can’t remember why. I asked him if I could take a pic, and we had a chat, can’t remember what we talked about, as I was about 18, in my 60s now. Funny polite man, except when he plays his other persona - Sir Les Patterson 🤨😱😂

    Ah yes Dame Edna appeared on here a few times along with This Morning which are both live daytime TV programmes. He also appeared as Barry on This Morning and has Ruth and her husband Eamonn in stitches,he's much like Paul, pretty much the same humour out of character and I think Edna appeared on Paul TV show, he's very much in character, as soon as he started making up you refer to him as Edna, however Paul and Dan were just Paul and Dan while making up, unsure how long it took the other two but took Dan two hours, but then he was having a conversation with others who'd passed away at the same time, and many from the theatres thought he had company so didn't knock his door, all three of these knew each other, Dan from County Cork Ireland, I think Paul family came from West Ireland originally and Barry from Moonieponds Australia 😁 Dame Edna takes it right to be bone and there is An Audience With and his/her own TV shows in the UK

  • @geofftottenperthcoys9944
