    Sir Les Patterson and Dame Edna Everage. Neither is a true Peer of the Realm, both are alter egos of Australian comedian Barry Humphries, and riotously funny.

    Thank you for your reply R. I have not heard of "them" since I am unfamiliar with Barry Humphries but I shall GOOGLE him and see what he is all about! Happy Wednesday/Thursday to you! :)

    I haven't seen or heard Dame Edna in ages.  There are few comedians who can make me laugh as heartily as Mr. Humphries.  What a treasure.
