    I remember attending his show in London many years ago. I think the Less Patterson character had just been evolved so when he walked on stage after the interval, and with the house lights still on, nobody recognised him.
    He introduced himself as the Australian Cultural Attaché and it took a while before people realised that it was Barry Humphries. Needless to say he was hilarious. RIP Sir Less.
