100 - A Bit Of Fry & Laurie

This week we review - A Bit Of Fry & Laurie (Series 1 Episode 3)<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br />Laurie was also seen playing piano and a wide variety of other instruments and singing comical numbers.<br /><br />Written by Stephen Fry & Hugh Laurie.0<br /><br />Produced by Roger Ordish<br />Directed by Roger Ordish<br />A BBC Production.<br />A Bit Of Fry & Laurie is available to here: <a href="https://amzn.to/37HdnNX" rel="noopener">https://amzn.to/37HdnNX</a><br /><br />The Comedy Slab Podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spreaker, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, Spotify and Youtube.<br /><br />Subscribe for a new episode each Monday.<br /><br />Get in touch - we're @ComedySlab on Twitter and ComedySlab on Facebook.
