One of the funniest individuals I\u2019ve ever met. A wondrously clever, entertaining, daring, provocative, mischievous comedy genius. As hilarious in non-public as he was as the enduring Dame Edna. What a life, what a personality. Thanks for all of the laughs, Barry. pic.twitter.com\/M9tHIW2IY7<\/a><\/p>\n\n
