A compilation of Sir Les Patterson (Barry Humphries) interviews with Michael Parkinson on the BBC1 Parkinson TV chat show.
Sir Leslie Colin Patterson is a fictional character which was created and portrayed by Australian comedian Barry Humphries. Obese, lecherous and offensive, Patterson is Dame Edna Everage's exact opposite: she is female, refined, Protestant and from Melbourne, he is male, uncouth, Roman Catholic and from Sydney.
It's funny how the two men here had such good chemistry and remarkable that they lived almost the identical timeline.
Sorry about the bad quality, but if you like this anyway please subscribe to the channel 😊

My wife and I were lucky to see Barry’s farewell show. We were sore from laughter, what an amazing talent. The ovation went for over 5 minutes and at the end Barry came out onto stage and grown Men including myself shed a tear in his speech RIP Barry, and thanks Cobber

Anyone who thinks he was non woke is perfectly correct. But funny? He certainly was so we can forgive him. Other so called comics resort to crudities, as did Les in a subtle way, but no one could touch him for humour.

Barry Humphries was a singular human being. He is the one who really “discovered Australia”. “I was down by Bondi Pier, drinking Tubes of ice cold beer, with a bucket full of prawns upon me knee. When I swallowed the last prawn, I gave a Technicolor yawn, and I Chundered in the old Pacific Sea.”
