Barry is perhaps best known as his on-stage and television alter-egos, the universally adored international housewife and Gigastar, Dame Edna Everage, and the foul-mouthed Sir Les Patterson.

He has appeared in a plethora of films including ‘Bedazzled’, ‘Nicholas Nickleby’, ‘Finding Nemo’ and ‘Spice World’. He is an instant sell out each time he appears on Broadway and in the West End.

Barry appeared as a judge in 2008 on BBC 1's ‘I’d Do Anything’, the search for the new Nancy and Oliver!

In February 2010 Barry featured in an episode of the comedy panel quiz QI series 7.

Barry is available as a host or after-dinner speaker for a whole variety of events. Alternatively his alter-egos Dame Edna Everage or Sir Les Patterson can host your event instead!

Barry Humphries is an Australian comedian, character actor, film producer and script writer, an award-winning writer and a star of London's West End musical theatre.
