Barry Humphries

Barry Humphries' creations, Dame Edna Everage and Sir Les Patterson, remain two of comedy's most popular figures. In this programme, the elusive comedian talks at length about the early influences that led him into his extraordinary career. There is library film of Mrs. Everage's early television performances in Australia, as well as footage of Dame Edna on stage and, naturally, the antipodean superstar appears in person to comment on her alter ego.
