(some col.) ; 24 cmSubject: COMEDIANS ; COMEDIANS. AUSTRALIA ; HUMPHRIES, BARRY 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 BLURBNotes: ABC logo at foot of t.p; Includes bibliographical references (p. 416-422) and indexISBN: 9780733325915
