A master of comic writing, Barry tells us of his privileged youth in suburban Melbourne and, with a disarming candour that he already regrets, describes his hectic artistic and romantic career in Australia, England and America. There are also hilarious glimpses of his life as the creator of Sir Les Patterson, Sandy Stone, Dame Edna Everage - and himself.
About the Author
Barry Humphries, sometimes known as Dame Edna Everage, is the author of several books and many plays. More Please, his first autobiographical work, won the J.R. Ackerley Prize in 1993 and was described by Auberon Waugh as 'an extraordinary cocktail of a book . . . a literary masterpiece', and as 'marvellously funny' by Sir Alec Guinness. Since his success on the Broadway stage in 1999, Barry Humphries has been in perpetual motion performing throughout the United States.
