Barry Humphries gives Mike Willesee an insight into his brand of satire, saying that he always has an eye for the absurd.
Humphries says he enjoys making films, but that 'to work directly with an audience is, to me, the greatest pleasure of all ... There is an immense pleasure in making an audience laugh.'
This clip comes from a compilation of Willesee At Seven interviews from 1975.
