Fry and Laurie

Fry and Laurie are an English comedy double act, mostly active in the 1980s and 1990s. The duo consists of Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, who met in 1980 through mutual friend Emma Thompson while all three attended the University of Cambridge. Following appearances on TV sketch show Alfresco and revue series Saturday Live, they gained prominence on television sketch comedy A Bit of Fry & Laurie (1987, 1989, 1995), and have collaborated on numerous other projects including, most notably, the television series Jeeves and Wooster (1990–1993), in which they portrayed P. G. Wodehouse's literary characters Jeeves (Fry) and Wooster (Laurie).

Since the conclusion of A Bit of Fry and Laurie, both have gone on to solo careers in acting, writing and other roles. They reunited for a retrospective show in 2010 titled Fry and Laurie Reunited. On 14 May 2012, Fry announced on Twitter he and Laurie were working together on a new project.[1] Various press sources have since announced that it is to be an adaptation of The Canterville Ghost (1887) by Oscar Wilde and had been scheduled for release over Christmas 2014,[2] and this animated film was reported by IMDb to be in post production as of January 2022, with 7 October 2022 given as its release date.[3]

Fry and Laurie have remained close friends throughout their careers. Laurie frequently thanks Fry when accepting awards, including at the 2007 Golden Globes when he referred to his former comedy partner, in the old A Bit of Fry and Laurie style, as "m’colleague Stephen Fry".[4]
