      Funny Allan, but I just went on about how it seems Benny Hill did all of this type of thing, with another CZcams commenter who "dare I say that Humphries is the greatest comedian of all time.", to which I suggested Hill. Being from the UK, care to comment on Benny versus Barry? Who do you believe was doing this stuff first? I guess maybe it really doesn't matter, both are very funny men. Perhaps they developed their comedy concurrently, as they were literally a world apart. And I imagine the Aussies will vote Humphries and The Brits will vote Hill. And we Americans are caught somewhere in between... hahaha. My vote goes with Hill, probably because I saw him probably 45 or so years ago, whereas I just caught the Edna/Patterson skits today. CHEERS!!

      Ever hear of Benny Hill? He did all of this same thing generally, and much more, and was born ten years earlier than Humphries. I watch this, and his Edna potrayal, which are quite good, but I know I've seen this before, and my mind goes right back to Benny Hill. Them being literally a world apart may explain some of the imitation aspects, but it leads one to think, who came first, the Benny or the Barry? I side with Benny, primarily because he was older. I first saw Hill, and all of his wonderful hilarity, in the late seventies on American PBS. I just caught wind of Humphries today, on CZcams. Perhaps, if I had seen Humphries 45 years ago, and Hill just now, my view would be different. Just saying...

    Absolutely wonderful. I wish Sir Les was around today! A true legend, Barry.

    I saw Barry at the Palace Theatre in Manchester in 1982 - "An Intimate Evening With Barry Humphries" it was billed. He did four hours straight without a break and revealed many other characters besides Edna and Sir Les that I'd never seen before - these must be reserved strictly for his live stage performances. The show was brilliantly original and absolutely hilarious - never flagged for a minute. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the greatest comedy genius of all time.

      My parents saw him some time before that and showed me his Sandy Stone performance on TV. My god, such finesse and timing! I've never seen it since, but just found it here: K8eJyfB_Gi4 -- VERY excited to see it again :)

      Just what I've seen here on youtube is wonderful, I don't know how he does it! Lucky you to see him in person!

    I cried Les is awesome,, he represented the humor of the old Australia where anything could be said without really offending anyone BECAUSE we ALL had a sense of humor & never really took any offense & being sent up by anyone,, UNLIKE the NEW Breed who JUST DONT GET IT much to the nations detriment,,,

      I agree, it's the same the world over. The snowflake generation is in charge and people's feelings are more important than facts.

      and the irony was he was sending up white Australia. He really was a comic genius.

    R.I.P. Barry Humphries (Dame Edna). We thank you for all the laughs you provided with your incredible wit, facial expressions and hilarious costumes. You were born to bring joy and side splitting laughter to us all. Thank goodness for CZcams we can continue to laugh and even cry from laughing through all the clips available to us. I suspect that many people will take advantage of this and maybe even have Dame Edna parties while viewing these HILARIOUS clips for years to come. If you don't laugh at theses clips you probably should see a doctor and have your funny bone checked out for they are guaranteed to make you laugh.
