Summary: "Barry Humphries struts the world stage, masked as housewife megastar Dame Edna Everage, relentlessly savaging and enchanting all in his path. Humphries' comic brilliance is indisputable, and his cast of characters has appalled and enthralled audiences for more than fifty years. Yet for all that has been written about Humphries - some of it by Humphries himself - this most mysterious of men has managed to evade real scrutiny. One Man Show presents for the first time the definitive, captivating story of the true Barry Humphries - from his youthful pranks on the staid streets of Melbourne, the phenomenon of Barry McKenzie, his many marriages and affairs, and the dark years of alcoholism, through to his triumphant successes on television and Broadway. For close to ten years, author Anne Pender has investigated Humphries' life and career, interviewing his family, friends and fellow performers in her quest to uncover the anarchic life and complex world of this outrageous, theatrical genius. The result is mesmerising." - BOOK BLURB

Summary: Anne Pender explores the lives and creative work of seven extraordinary performers who have brought joy and hilarity to generations of Australians through their memorable characters on stage and television, and in their potent satire, musical comedy, revue, drama, stand-up acts and one-person shows. Carol Raye, Barry Humphries, Noeline Brown, Max Gillies, John Clarke, Tony Sheldon and Denise Scott pioneered home-grown humour, transformed the image of Australia, intervened in political life, and brought Australian comedy to the world. They created iconic figures, including Mavis Bramston, Dame Edna Everage, Clarke and Dawe, Bernadette in Priscilla Queen of the Desert and mesmerising impersonations of prime ministers. In Seven Big Australians, Pender interprets the lives of these significant comic actors, offering vivid biographical portraits of their childhood and family of origin, their struggles to enter the entertainment industry and the art they created over many decades. Drawing on extensive interviews conducted with each actor over many years, Pender documents their experiences of the hardships of breaking into the industry and the challenges of staying there, the gruelling nature of daily life as a performer, the demands of working in multiple forms, the realities of script writing under pressure and the exhilaration of performing. These actors are significant cultural figures whose lives are awe-inspiring, momentous and magical.-- publisher's web site
