Barry Humphries – Born in 1934
Barry Humphries is an absolute Australian legend when it comes to comedy. He created and brought to life his sassy alter ego, housewife Edna Everage or Dame Edna, from the Moone Ponds areas. He, along with his other archetypical Aussie caricatures he created, such as Sir Les Patterson and Barry McKenzie, would become the nation’s pre-eminent cultural ambassadors! Barry is now in his late 80s, but announced his retirement in 2012, after his farewell tour. However, he occaisonally makes public appearances, sometimes in drag as Edna, every now and then.
