18. Barry Humphries: A Whole Way of Being Funny
This episode is about the genius of Barry Humphries, and the Shakespearian magnitude of his characters. Like Shakespeare, Humphries created personalities who really did exist, in books, on stage, on television and film, in his head, and in our heads. Rufatt wrote this essay around the time of Humphries' death.
