When reading through Xander's post, I was caught by the name Barry Humphries. It sounded familiar, so I looked him up and was led to Dame Edna, his "most famous and enduring creation" as a comedic actor. Have you guys heard of her? I actually hadn't, but she is a really funny character!
You can go here for her biography (the one he created for her!):

This Melbourne housewife has made appearances on Alley McBeal, A Night with Dame Edna (1979), and recieved a Tony Award for Dame Edna: the Royal Tour.
As fun as Dame Edna is, I'd actually like to see more of Barry Humphries. He's clearly a very creative and talented comedian.
