‘Barry you used to be so nice!’ Louisa Humphries frequently said to her son. Now, in his maturity, Australia’s most famous comedian reflects on his long journey away from niceness.
Described by the author as a ‘cubist self-portrait’, My Life as Me revisits his childhood, his adolescence, his love-hate relationship with Australia and his adventures of the heart and stage. He also shares with us hilarious behind-the-scenes details of his life as creator and personal manager of Sir Les Patterson, Sandy Stone and Dame Edna Everage.
If Louisa Humphries could read this book, she would undoubtedly describe it as ‘uncalled for’.
Barry HumphriesÂ’ first autobiographical work More Please won the J.R Ackerley Prize in 1993. Since his recent success on the Broadway stage, Barry has written this long awaited second volume of memoirs.
DonÂ’t miss this fantastic event with one of AustraliaÂ’s most intriguing personalities.
My Life as Me will be available for purchase at the event and can be personally signed by the author.
