What an actor, satirist, artist! For me, Barry Humphries stands among the greats of comedy from the last century and slightly taller than most, no matter from what country they hailed. His comedic genius and intelligent humour were and still are untouchable! The wonderful characters he gave us Dame Edna, Sandy Stone and the irrepressible Aussie, 'you'll be right, get it into ya' - Sir Les Patterson. I think Sir Les is the jewel in the crown, sorry Edna fans, but Sir Les, oh come on, the tears of laughter we all experienced when we watched him talking about Joan Collins on the Mike Willesee show - All these years later I still chuckle about it. And how about the live recording , Sir Les Live & Rampant? The myriad of interviews he did as Sir Les - all gems and all hilarious! Barry Humphries stand up and take a bow, Sir!

As an American, the Covid 19 crap made me bored...so as a fan and Dame Edna, I accidentally. discovered Sir Les way later than I should have. In the US, we had no idea of this character, because the last truly last controversial comedian we had in the US who wasn't cancelled by 1997 was Sam Kinison. So when I discovered this side of Barry Humphries, I had to know everything about him. What an amazing mind....he should be EVEN MORE FAMOUS than he is. As a musician who can play jazz, his improvisation on the stage is beyond reproach to me. Its not about scales...chords...etc....it is about reaction. I'd literally give anything to have lunch with this man and just listen to him talk.

Back in the late 70's or early 80's I was invited to a fancy dress party. This was in Adelaide South Australia. At the time I had a mate who was a dental technician. I remember him spending a few weeks making up some Sir Les teeth for me, which looked very authentic. On the night of the party I really looked the part. Grey wig the tacky suit, blotchy complextion, fake spew and spillage all down the front of my shirt and tie with the extra curricula in the trousers etcetera. I really looked the part. On the way to the party I was driving my 1960's VW beetle. We stopped at the bottle shop on the way to pick up beer. I popped the carton of ale on the back seet and proceeded to drive out of the pub down a steep driveway. As I approached the T junction at the bottom of the drive the carton of beer begun to slide off the back seat. I proceeded to swing around quickly to save the precious ale when I suddenly found myself fare square up the back end of a stopped car. 💥💥💥 Without thinking I jumped out in full Sir Les garb, ran up to the driver of the damaged vehicle to exchange details. I'll never forget the stunned look I got from this fellow when he saw me. 🤣 I think he thought I was genuinely an old derelict. I don't think he'll forget the night that Sir Less Patterson ran up his arse in a VW bug. We eventually got to the party where we had a ball, as we did back then in the late 70's early 80's. I've always had a soft spot for Sir Les, and I can say I had a small glimpse into his illustrious political world back in the day. ❤RIP Sir Les❤ Blessings and kindest regards David from Australia. 🌏 🙄☝️
