100 - A Bit Of Fry & Laurie

This week we review - A Bit Of Fry & Laurie (Series 1 Episode 3)A Bit of Fry & Laurie is a British sketch comedy television series written by and starring former Cambridge Footlights members Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie.Broadcast on both BBC1 and BBC2 between 1989 and 1995, it ran for four series and totalled 26 episodes, including a 36-minute pilot episode in 1987.As in The Two Ronnies, elaborate wordplay and innuendo were staples of its material. It frequently broke the fourth wall; characters would revert into their real-life persona mid-sketch, or the camera would often pan off set into the studio.In addition, the show was punctuated with non sequitur vox pops in a similar style to those of Monty Python's Flying Circus, often making irrelevant statements, heavily based on wordplay. Laurie was also seen playing piano and a wide variety of other instruments and singing comical numbers.Written by Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie.0Produced by Roger OrdishDirected by Roger OrdishA BBC Production.A Bit Of Fry & Laurie is available to here: https://amzn.to/37HdnNXThe Comedy Slab Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, Spotify and Youtube.Subscribe for a new episode each Monday.Get in touch - we're @ComedySlab on Twitter and ComedySlab on Facebook.
