  1. New at my Patreon... After comedian Barry Humphries died I visited the laneway named after his most famous creation, Dame Edna Everage, to see what I could find:

  2. This is going to sound strange, but I immediately thought - Oh no! If Barry Humphries is dead, then so is Dame Edna! It was like they'd been in a plane crash together.

    RIP Gigastar.

    (I kinda think she should get a state funeral too :))

  3. CW: Barry Humphries' transphobia

    "DAME Edna creator Barry Humphries has slammed transgenderism [sic], calling it 'rat-baggery', and attacked 'evil' teachers who 'preach' it to children. … IN A NEW interview with The Spectator [obviously—Ed]…he described the identity as a 'fashion—how many different kinds of lavatory can you have?” before adding, 'And it’s pretty evil when it’s preached to children by crazy teachers.'"

  4. CW: Barry Humphries' transphobia

    "Asked about his friend's [Germaine Greer's] remarks [that trans women like Caitlin Jenner are men 'who believe that they are women and have themselves c******ed'], Humphries said: 'I agree with Germaine! You're a m******ed man, that's all. Self-m*******on, what's all this carry on? Caitlyn Jenner – what a publicity-seeking ratbag. It's all given the stamp – not of respectability, but authenticity or something.'"

  5. @Maren_Kroymann When asked about whether or not his character of Sir Les Patterson — a boorish and sexist, pussy-grabbing politician — has any connection to Donald Trump, Humphries says, “I’m grateful to Trump for stirring up politics. And I won’t be joining any marches against him.” 🤮

  6. #RIP #BarryHumphries (aka #DameEdna) (1934–2023)

    Mostly a #TV celebrity, Humphries (at times billed as DAME EDNA EVERAGE) was seen in several #movies, going all the way back to #StanleyDonen's BEDAZZLED (1967), in which he plays one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Lust.

    Other notable #films include: NICHOLAS NICKLEBY (2002) and #AbsolutelyFabulous: The #Movie (2016).

    He also provided the voice of #Bruce the #Shark in #Pixar's FINDING NEMO.

  7. In the long tradition of ex-lawyers or almost lawyers in theatre Barry Humphries was a star. He was the first person that opened my mind to the possibility that an Aussie from a small city could come to the wide wild of #London. Thanks Barry.

  8. RIP Barry Humphries, Dame Edna Everage, Les Patterson et al. One of the sharpest and most subversive wits the world has ever seen. Absolutely irreplaceable.
