Australian Comic Dame Edna Everage I love

This is the background of Barry Humphries.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Humphries

Listen carefully to her humour as it is subtle and there is lots of metaphor in it.  It is in what she doesn’t say or suggests as it has a social barb but everyone knows s/he is funny.

A failed tragedian.  S/he says:  other people’s unhappiness a great source of amusement, is there something wrong with me.
