He is also a film producer and script writer, a star of London's West End musical theatre, an award-winning writer and an accomplished landscape painter.
His characters, especially Edna Everage, have brought him international renown, and he has appeared in numerous films, stage productions and television shows. His Barry McKenzie comic strips about Australians in London appeared in Private Eye magazine with drawings by Nicholas Garland. The stories about "Bazza" (also Humphries' nickname) gave wide circulation to Australian slang, particularly jokes about drinking and its consequences, much of it invented by Humphries.

RIP Barry Humphries! I remember this song from the very early 1970s when I was at university! Introduced Chnder to the vocabulary, but never realised its roots! Wonderful - and then I saw the old Pacific sea when I visited Australia 4 years ago.
