A compilation of Sir Les Patterson (Barry Humphries) interviews with Michael Parkinson on the BBC1 Parkinson TV chat show.
Sir Leslie Colin Patterson is a fictional character which was created and portrayed by Australian comedian Barry Humphries. Obese, lecherous and offensive, Patterson is Dame Edna Everage's exact opposite: she is female, refined, Protestant and from Melbourne, he is male, uncouth, Roman Catholic and from Sydney.
It's funny how the two men here had such good chemistry and remarkable that they lived almost the identical timeline.

[@none7574]

He was pure gold. Comedy today is nothing much compared with this. Im so fortunate to have lived through this era.

[@robinclarke9978]

Anyone who thinks he was non woke is perfectly correct. But funny? He certainly was so we can forgive him. Other so called comics resort to crudities, as did Les in a subtle way, but no one could touch him for humour.

[@roymeadows1708]

Comedy genius at work

[@Nae395]

Jackie and Sir Les had chemistry 😂

[@simonwhalley1743]

Barry Humphries was such a genius due to his sharp intelligence. He was a true scholar of comedy, like a lot of the greats. His wit was razor sharp and finely honed over years of study and performance. An absolute legend.

He was loved in the UK, we will never have another entertainer like Barry.

We were lucky to have Sir Les representing Australia in the Yartz. Never was our Yartz held is such high esteem as when Sir Les was spending taxpayer money in Bangkok to promote it at a Cheese and Wine buffet.

I didn't know he was gone. I'm sorry for your/our loss. He was beyond funny.

God, wasn't he brilliant?

[@ianswan1283]

Absolutely

[@sugarbertie1143]

He was superb. God bless him.

[@CraigMansfield]

One of my biggest mistakes was not going to see him live at the theatre. I later saw the show on KZbin and I've never laughed at much for years. I didn't have the money at the time, but I wish I'd gone. You'll never see the likes of him again, these clips don't do him justice.😊

[@inamorata966]

There is no comedic character that I can think of -- I'm no expert, but I watch a lot of comedy from America and Britian -- none I can think of even remotely like Sir Les. To use a show-offy Latin term, he is sui generis. When he's on my computer screen I can't stop watching him.

[@graemem111]

Truly brilliant. Thank you so much for posting.

@@jdabel1Yet Sir Les was modelled on Labor Ministers. Not LNP. Hence his Whitlam reference in one interview.

Barry Humphries was a singular human being. He is the one who really “discovered Australia”. “I was down by Bondi Pier, drinking Tubes of ice cold beer, with a bucket full of prawns upon me knee. When I swallowed the last prawn, I gave a Technicolor yawn, and I Chundered in the old Pacific Sea.”

[@Vinj94]

Yes he helped reinforce the view that a lot of people held onto about Australia and Australians.

[@anEyePhil]

@@Vinj94 He was right, wasn’t he? It still goes on, all that bloody Sport on the ABC. Property Developers owning and running State Governments. Thank the Indigenous Creative force for Barry Humphries, “Sunny Sam” from Christowel Street, Melbourne.
