A Bit More of Fry and Laurie

Sep 29, 2014

I haven't posted anything from Fry and Laurie here for a while, the wonderful comedy team of Hugh Laurie (best known to U.S. audiences for House) and Stephen Fry.  The two had a long career together, as Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, on Blackadder (with Rowan Atkinson) and with their own series, A Bit of Fry and Laurie.



The two met at Cambridge University, introduced by a fellow classmate, a young aspiring actress named Emma Thompson.  Since we've just been discussing Ms. Thompson here in Sweeney Todd, I thought it would be a good idea to get back to a bit of Fry and Laurie.  And since a lot of people were surprised to see Emma Thompson in a musical, I thought it would be an equally good idea to show her back in her early roots, and post a sketch here where they guys had their up-and-coming friend on their TV show.  So, here are Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry in 1986 with a young Emma Thompson.
