Barry Humphries – The Man Behind The Mask
2022-05-19 19:30 - 22:00 | Royal and Derngate Theatre, 19-21 Guildhall Road, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1DP
National treasure Barry Humphries will take you on a revelatory trip through his colourful life and theatrical career with his new show The Man Behind the Mask. An intimate, confessional evening – seasoned with highly personal, sometimes startling, and occasionally outrageous stories.
The UK welcomed Dame Edna with open arms, immediately becoming a household favourite and filling our living rooms with many years of laughter. His other alter egos included Sir Les Patterson and Sandy Stone.
Barry peels off his mask to introduce the man behind the clown.
“This is a show in which I am the principal character; it’s not Les, it’s not Edna, it’s not Sandy Stone. It is really about this character called ‘me’. I’m not in disguise,” Humphries says.
Audiences can expect a virtuoso, comic, solo performance filled with laughter, drama and surprise. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and the magic of technology may even allow appearances – or interruptions – by unexpected guests.

I Am What I Am – West End To Broadway is a celebration of career highlights and a magical journey through the very best of musical theatre.
It all began in 1989 in musical theatre and his debut West End role as Billy Cocker opposite Elaine Paige in Cole Porter’s musical Anything Goes.
John said “From the West End to Broadway, this has been the amazing journey of my musical theatre career. I’ve worked with Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Sondheim, Cameron Mackintosh to name a few. I’ve performed at the National Theatre and on Broadway. I’ve lived my dreams. My new show is a celebration of that wonderful journey. I’ll perform songs from the biggest musicals I’ve starred in and perhaps one or two that I haven’t. Mix in a couple of duets. Sprinkle in a few surprises! This will be a show to remember. This has been a difficult time for many, so join me for a night of laughter and love and the best of musical theatre.”

Carmela will demonstrate two recipes for the group and all participants will be able to ample these.
A wonderful Jam Tart, thatâ€™s famously known in Italy as the Crostata, perfect with a cup of tea or as part pf a continental breakfast. it can also be made into a tray of small sweet sticky offerings.
Then a demonstration of a modern take on the much-loved almond and aquafaba Amoretti Biscuit. These are vegan, so the eggs are replaced with the wonder liquid from a tin of chickpeas known as aquafaba, which is chickpea protein. Deliciously moreish and perfect as a homemade gift that keeps incredibly well.
Carmela will then teach participants to make two recipes. Steamed Spotted Dick pudding is a wonderfully nostalgic treat for the entire family. Students will be guided through the recipe, shown how to seal and string the tip and given direction on how to steam pudding at home. Will you have cream or custard with yours?
The final recipe students will create is the Museum Jubilee Cheesecake, a scrumptious lemon infused cheesecake with a fabulous berry topping. This cheesecake will most certainly be the centrepiece of your next family dinner
