Sir Leslie Colin "Les" Patterson, KCB AO (born 1 April 1942) is a fictional character portrayed by the Australian comedian Barry Humphries. Obese, lecherous and offensive, this farting, belching, nose-picking figure of Rabelaisian excess is an antipodean Falstaff. He is Dame Edna Everage's exact opposite: she is female, refined, Protestant and from Melbourne; he is male, uncouth, Roman Catholic and from Sydney.Patterson's humour abounds in such a wide range of racist and sexual stereotypes that it would offend almost anyone who takes it at face value.
He boasts of his prowess with his "Girl Friday" and his trips to Bangkok "rub and tug shops".
He jokes that "the best place to hide something from a Pom is under a bar of soap".
He also resents Australians having died "stopping a bullet for the Pommy Empire".
