The Man Behind the Mask - T2031954691Celebrated Australian performer Barry Humphries AO, CBE will take UK audiences on a revelatory trip through his colourful life and theatrical career. In an intimate, confessional evening - seasoned with highly personal, sometimes startling, and occasionally outrageous stories - Australia's best loved entertainer will be peeling off his mask to introduce the man behind the clown. For more than 60 years, Humphries has held a mirror to Australia and Australians, revealing their virtues, their foibles, their triumphs and their failings through a gallery of adored characters, including Dame Edna Everage, Sir Les Paterson and Sandy Stone. "It is the story of my generation, it is a story of a life spent in the theatre and a life spent in comedy, and it will show what it is like to be a clown. In a way, this is perhaps the bravest thing I've ever done and I hope the most entertaining. I think people might be agreeably shocked and they certainly will learn much they didn't know."
