"The superb writer and critic, John Lahr,takes you backstage and into the fascinating world of the comic genius, Barry Humphries.
This is not a candy coated puff piece, but a truthful and well documented book on what makes a person a performer,and,in particular, a comic.
Anyone interested in Show Business, Theatre, and human nature will find this a very interesting read.
Dame Edna is a fascinating character, and you learn she was not created overnight, but through years of work by a very talented and complex artist."
