Barry Humphries is reportedly ‘cracking jokes’ in hospital, contradicting earlier reports he is ‘unresponsive’

Barry Humphries, best known for his alter egos Dame Edna Everage and Sir Les Patterson, is awake, alert and “cracking jokes” with the nursing staff.

Claims Australian entertainer Barry Humphries is in an “unresponsive state” have been rejected by the Sydney hospital where he is staying.

The family of the iconic Australian entertainer had rushed to his bedside amid concerns his health is deteriorating.

This comes just days after Humphries was readmitted to Sydney’s St Vincent’s Hospital due to complications following hip replacement surgery in February.

ABC radio reported he had gone into an unresponsive state.

Earlier reports suggested Humphries’ pain was beginning to increase so his medical team gave him more morphine.

As his health took a turn, sons, Oscar and Rupert, travelled from London to be by his side along with his daughter, Emily, who he has been estranged from for two decades.

It’s believed the pair only reconciled at his hospital bedside after more than 20 years of friction. #trending #featured

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
