Sadly one of our comedic geniuses has tottered on to the afterlife.

RIP the great Barrie Humphries.

And his wonderful alter ego, Dame Edna.
"Farewell Possum"
May he rest in peace

He was a comedic genius, and his razor sharp wit sprung from a mind like a steel trap!
The world will be a darker place without him.

First I read of him passing, an icon he was indeed. Dame Edna was his most popular character.
Sir Les Patterson was my favourit. And was based on a real life diplomat he once met.

I think there are some US States where Dame Edna would now be illegal.
