Exactly what was required.

A terrific account of the life of Australia's most famous and controversial satirist. The biography is more satisfying than Humphries own autobiography "More Please" as it covers till the end of the 1980s and pays more attention to his numerous achievements. The language is not as poetic as Humphries writing but is clear, precise and poetic. In this biography you will discover the social and satirical content of Humphries shows since the 1960s, the Barry McKenzie comic strip and films of the 1960s and early 70s and more clever slang than you can poke a stick at. A must for Humphries enthusiasts.
