Barry Humphries

    John Barry Humphries was een Australische komiek, satiricus en kunstenaar, vooral bekend om zijn alter ego's op het podium en op televisie, Dame Edna Everage en Sir Les Patterson. Zijn werk wordt gekenmerkt door scherpe satire en dadaïstische humor, waarmee hij sociale en culturele fenomenen becommentarieerde. Naast schrijven en acteren hield hij zich ook bezig met schilderen en theater, wat zijn veelzijdigheid aantoonde.
