Barry Humphries won a Tony for his portrayal of the condescending and imperfectly-veiled snob. He also played Sir Les Patterson, an ever-drunk, disheveled and lecherous Australian cultural attache.
CANBERRA, Australia — Tony Award-winning comedian Barry Humphries, internationally renowned for his garish stage persona Dame Edna Everage, a condescending and imperfectly-veiled snob whose evolving character has delighted audiences over seven decades, has died. He was 89.
He told The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper last month that his physiotherapy had been “agony” following his fall and hip replacement. Edna is one of Humphries’ several enduring characters. The next most famous is Sir Les Patterson, an ever-drunk, disheveled and lecherous Australian cultural attache. Patterson reflected a perception of Australia as a Western cultural wasteland that drove Humphries along with many leading Australian intellectuals to London.
“A wondrously intelligent, entertaining, daring, provocative, mischievous comedy Genius,” Morgan added.
