The cancer was a pre-invasive slow-grower that has been removed, according to the article.

Other than that he is in great health. However he is old enough for his own thread.

I forgot he was still alive.  Seems to be ages since Dame Edna retired, probably not as long as I think

Barry Humphries is embarking on a substantial UK tour in April/May 2022, so must be physically up to it.

Seems to be going strong, I feel fairly confident he’ll be still around for his 90th in just over two years time.

Recently turned 88. I was scrolling through Rob Brydon's Twitter and saw he recently had dinner with him.

Not looking remotely dead when I had an encounter with the man last night - finished the show by announcing another tour and different show to follow this one. Left me wondering how many (if any) luvvies or the like have done anything like a one man show aged 100. I know it was a running gag in George Burns' shows that he couldn't have a 100th birthday party because he'd be playing a gig in Caesar's Palace that night (he made 100 but was too weak to do the gig - though he joked that what he wanted for his birthday was a night with Sharon Stone). Anyway, Barry might still be on stage in 12 years time:

Andrew Neil shared some info on his health a few days ago, doesn’t sound too positive.

Suffered a bad fall and broke his hip earlier this year.

 

Must admit his advice quoted there raised a smile:

"I strongly advise not breaking your hip!"

So, if he does that planned next tour he'll literally be a hip-op artist

Not in immediate danger, I'd say.

Drol, we want hits please give us hope. You are way too negative on us getting hits.

Those past days have been dry as a nun's pussy in terms of notable deaths.

 

That said, at the moment no one of the hospitalised/ill ones seems on the verge of croaking.

They say he is "comfortable" in hospital. Sounds ominous indeed.:pop:

Lily Savage and now possibly Dame Edna.

 

Both Paul and Barry were able to step out of the shadow of their most famous characters/creations and have a disctinct public persona in their own right.

 

Although inevitable, it’s a shame that when they die that they and their creations also go at the same time.

Nothing wrong with Dame Edna, I think she's a great character. But I think I'll fondly remember him as Bruce the shark from Finding Nemo.

Australian entertainer Barry Humphries, best known for his comic character Dame Edna Everage, is being treated in hospital, his family have said.

 

The comedian, 89, had hip surgery last month after a fall in February, and was readmitted following complications, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

 

His family said he was "in hospital receiving treatment for health issues".
