Barry Humphries: Dame Edna's still got it
AS he gears up for Dame Edna’s final British farewell Barry Humphries insists there’s plenty of life in the old dog yet.
The 79-year-old comedian tells Day & Night: “Although I have started the tour I am a fair while off saying goodbye yet as it doesn’t come to London until Christmas. I’m still on the road and it is great.”
Barry spoke to us at Australia House in central London where he was celebrating the rebranding of South Australia, adding that the place holds special significance for him and other visitors from down under.
“Aussies living in bedsits used to come to Australia House and read the Aussie women’s magazines to find out what the Queen was up to. There was more stuff about the Royal Family in the Australian print than in Britain!”
