How can a magnificent rare COMEDIC GENIUS like Barry have left us? Never ever will there be another. A gift from Australia to the world. We love you Barry. RIP.
When interviewers asked a question and then kept quiet and let their guests ramble. How I wish they would do that now.
When people could take a joke and weren't offended by everything...love Barry
Clare Rayner was such a good sport here bless her x
They’ll never be another. Absolutely wonderful Barry Humphries, who gave laughter and happiness to millions
We NEED Dame Edna TODAY!
Clare Rayner played the stooge to Edna brilliantly! Who knew she had such a great sense of humour.
No one stands a chance when Dame Edna's on.
Dame Edna has left the building- Thanks for all those laughs
My eldest son was lucky enough to be working in a restaurant in Bowral when Barry Humphries came in for dinner with friends. He called my son over and said “ Please tell the chef that I have some very specific dietary requirements. I’m allergic to small portions!! “ my son said he was hilarious and he was so pleased he was working that night. He was one of a kind. 😂❤
One of best comics to ever grace the earth.... Barry's wit is razor sharp.... brilliant
With Dame Edna, I always loved how everybody bought into the act. Barry Humpries was a comedy genious.
Saw a Dame Edna show in London in the 90s. Quite possibly the funniest show I've ever seen. RIP Barry Humphries and thank you for all you gave us ❤
I absolutely love it when she completely takes over the show at the end and thanks everyone as her guests, including the host! haha!
Dame Edna was hilarious. Loved the interaction with Clare Rayner she was great.
Was this universe ever big enough to contain her? lovely to find interviews like this, those laughs just keep on comin!
Claire Rayner was so nice for letting Dame Edna lean on her for laughs. I'm sure she knew ahead of the show that this was going to happen.
Great times when people weren't offended over everything
Dame Edna is so quick, she's slightly had a pop at them before they realise 😂. I think David Essex was confused about it all 😂
Couldn’t have a talent like Dame Edna today—someone would get ‘offended’ , be ‘traumatised’ need therapy, and have him banned
