Described by Barry Humphries as a "cubist self-portrait", this autobiography revisits his childhood, his adolescence, his love-hate relationship with Australia and his adventures of the heart and of the stage. In this memoir, his various fascinations are explored: painting, travel, marriage and divorce, and his friendships with comedians, artists and writers such as Spike Milligan, Dudley Moore, Peter Cook, Patrick White, Sidney Nolan, John Betjeman, Stephen Spender and many others. A master of comic writing, he tells us of his pivileged youth in suburban Melbourne. With a disarming candour that he already regrets, he describes his hectic artistic and romantic career in Australia, England and America and he shares with us hilarious behind-the-scenes details of this life as creator and personal manager of Les Patterson, Sandy Stone and Dame Edna Everage.

Book Description Paperback. 1. '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 of the stage. In this heady memoir his various fascinations are explored - painting, music, travel and collecting - as are his forays into marriage, and his friendships with comedians, artists and writers. A master of comic writing, Barry Humphries tells us of his privileged youth in suburban Melbourne and, with a disarming candour that he already regrets, describes his hectic artistic and romantic career in Australia, England and America. If Louisa Humphries could read this book, she would undoubtedly describe is as 'uncalled for'. This is a family book suitable only for adults. Seller Inventory # 21999577
