HAPPY 55th BIRTHDAY HUMPHREY!
Woman’s Day Magazine NZ
|August 31, 2020
The funny old fellow who delighted Aussie children for decades is out of hibernation and making a comeback to our TV screens
He’s been resting for the past 11 years, but Humphrey B Bear is set to return to the limelight with a new show, which will endear our furry friend with the big smile and the trademark tartan waistcoat to a new legion of young fans around the world.
“Fifty-five years on, Humphrey still holds a special place in the hearts of generations of Australians,” says Kris Maric, co-founder of Humphrey B Bear Entertainment.
“Humphrey has a heartwarming ability to connect with audiences of literally all ages, and from all walks of life, including those with special or diverse needs.”
With his hat, tie and waistcoat – but no pants – the friendly silent grizzly has been entertaining, educating and delighting the young and the young at heart as the star of Here’s Humphrey since 1965.
