Sir Les Patterson
Sir Les Patterson is one of the three major Humphries characters still current (the third being Sandy Stone). Typically, Patterson alternates with Edna and Sandy Stone in Humphries stage shows and he typically features in pre-recorded segments in Dame Edna's TV shows. He is the polar opposite of Dame Edna, dishevelled, uncouth, lecherous and coarse.
