The great Barry Humphries




Recently I bought a memoir by Barry Humphries of Dame Edna and Sir Les Patterson fame entitled More Please, apparently his very first utterance. I am saving the pleasure of starting to read if until I have some more time on my hands but it looks very promising. Some of the pictures of him as a young man are very telling; all arty-looking with foppish long hair and picturesque hats. Great stuff. He is a genius and all the way from Oz as well..
