Thank you for sharing, @pomeline, sad to hear. I saw Dame Edna perform live years back, so funny! Rest in peace, Barry Humphries/Dame Edna.

I love KC III's reaction at being congratulated on becoming a grandparent.

I think this is the right decision. And may the people behind Melbourne Comedy Festival hang their heads in shame.

Didn’t he live in the UK?

Didn’t he live in the UK?

Still Australian and identified as one. Being an expat doesn't change everything. I had to check where he lived.
"Humphries had lived in London for decades and returned to native Australia in December for Christmas."
