The way you cancel Mr Humphries is not only deplorable, but it’s also unconscionable. I have asked my company to cancel you and your festival in perpetuity. Goodbye MelbTragedyFest. YOU'RE CANCELLED.
Honestly, this is the wittiest, smartest, most endearing man on the public scene. I saw his Dame Edna in New York years ago. Long live Barry Humphries.
When I share my opinions I manage to give offence. Imagine if they heard the opinions I keep to myself. Barry Humphries knew how to stir the pot. He knew exactly where that fluid PC crowd were going and jumped ship with pleasure.
Was this the year BEFORE he made you guys at the MCF cry? Sheesh just because he said something that made you lot race to your safe rooms and beg for some fairy floss what did you lot do??? "Mummy, mean man said bad words. He's got a different opinion than me. Whaaaa whaaa! Oh, can you change my nappy too? I think I did boo boo".
Exactly like Jesus the crowd applauds but as soon as he says something that these people don't like they either cancel him or crucify him. The very ones clapping are the very cannibals eating at his flesh like Paranas. RIP Oh Great legend.
Oh the irony of it all! "I offend, therefore, I am" states Humphries, and it was lapped up. Yet but a short time later the organisers of this same comedy festival decided to banish Humphries for being beyond the pale. They declared, it seems, that whilst offense might be permitted, some groups were immune from any form of commentary, criticism or satire. Immune because they were 'vulnerable' and that views contrary to their own made them feel 'unsafe.' It is odd that they were so powerless and vulnerable that they managed to cancel an international icon. This is a strange form of impotency and 'vulnerability.' The saddest thing about it is that this very claim to immunity from any critique or humour is, essentially, stultifying and counter-productive. It is the product of tiny minds. That being said it prompts a new title for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Namely, the 'Sir Les Patterson Culture, Arts and Collective Intellect Awards.' Seems fitting don't you think?
Missed forever. RIP
From Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺

Yes, and look how the Melbourne comedy festival pissed on a national treasure
Disgraceful!!
YOUR CANCELLED
I saw him in New York also and had to sit upstairs with the resentful.If something looks good in Guatemala leave it in Guatemala!
Our greatest living national treasure.......
Hear hear... One of the reasons I feel proud to be Australian.... this man built so much respect for Australia abroad
Australia and the worlds greatest wit of his age. RIP.
One of the greatest comedians of all times!
And yet you all cancelled him just a couple of years later ...
Just wonderful
So sorry to have this appearance by the inestimably delightful Barry Humphries interrupted mid-stream...
He was far better than the debate

Comedy Genius.
Brilliant man! These sad lot have now cancelled his memory!
Wonderful. ;-)
Us British have made him our own you aussies should treasure him not diss him
I love Barry Humphries. Nobody else (maybe Robin Williams or Billy Connolly) comes close to him 😂. Miss you Barry Humphries. R.I.P
Greatest Australian
I really hope he doesn't get accused of anything. He's the only one who can redeem Australian comedians after Rolf Harris.
He's said some transphobic stuff in recent years. Does that count?
They can’t all be British saints…like Sir Jimmy Savile.
Rolfe had an adopted personna.Never funny.
@@rowanc88 Barry did not like Zealots and sent them up by deliberately offending them.He did not like professional offendees.
@@rowanc88 no
I love Dame Edna 🌺🤗👌
Average he certainly was not😁
@@southerncomfort7490 lol 😆typed wrong 🤔🤔😌
@@elvirastokes1335 Fair enough😁 But I agree with Elvira. The guy lit up the world.

Aussie! The only place you can have a republic with a dame if you need one.
Dear Barry Humphries. I say dear, as I've never met him.
Why was that cut short?
Then the wokeist-greenies-WEFista shunned him!
Hannah Gadsby isn't funny.

Such a shameful and humourless episode, I'll never go there again. Long live the wit, mockery and timing of Barry Humphries.
