Goodnight possums! Liz Hayes looks back on the life and legacy of Barry Humphries

Join Liz Hayes as she reflects on the longevity and comic brilliance of Australia’s greatest entertainer in Barry Humphries – A Life of Laughs, tomorrow night at 8.30pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.

From his ordinary upbringing in Melbourne suburbia to the mid-1950s debut of the “impenetrable tour de force” Dame Edna Everage, Hayes remembers the career of  the legend that spanned 70 years up until his death last week at the age of 89. 

Barry Humphries wasn’t just a great comedian, he was also a marketing genius who effortlessly sold his characters in every single interview.

Delving into Humphries’ personal archive and using rare footage and clips that stamped his entire career, Hayes explores the unique wit and staying power of a performer without peer.

Sharing personal anecdotes and marvellous memories of interviewing Humphries, Hayes recalls the unpredictability he cleverly used in every incarnation. 

“Reporters, like me who interviewed him never knew what we were going to get,” Hayes says. “But I can assure you that as you will see, Barry never let us down.”

BARRY HUMPHRIES – A LIFE OF LAUGHS
WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, AT 8.30PM ON CHANNEL 9 & 9NOW
