Barry Humphries’ full autobiography, covering both the public figure and the private life behind one of Australia’s most iconic performers. Best known for characters like Dame Edna Everage and Sir Les Patterson, Humphries traces his career from Melbourne beginnings through international fame in theatre, television, and satire.

Sharp, self-aware, and often darkly funny, this memoir moves between performance, identity, and personal history. It offers insight into the creation of his characters as well as the cultural landscape that shaped them.

More than a celebrity memoir, this is a detailed account of a long and influential career in comedy and performance.
