Suitable Poetry Sketch: A Little Fry and Laurie
This is a total crackup
You know I can’t resist some Stephen Fry (and what’s not to love about Hugh Laurie)
Now I’m off to the High Street to get a proper poetry travelling bag – hahaha
It’s a great sketch … I haven’t seen it for years so thank you for that. You’re just not a poet without a proper travelling bag!
hehehe – I can’t stop laughing
I love how Stephen (presumably ad libbing) takes Hugh by surprise. He so often cracks a smile, regains his proffesional composure and carries on. I wonder, can you purchase the traveling poetry bags online? I’m convinced now that I ought to have one.
Yeah, I love it when they lose their composure and start to laugh – Stephen does it at the end too, much to the audience’s amusement. Someone definitely needs to set up a website to sell essential poetry paraphernalia such as the proper poetry travelling bag – haha – thanks for stopping by piedhillprawns
‘A poem you can leave around the house with absolute confidence…..’
So hilarious. Those two work so well together. They are an absolute joy!
They’re brilliant Selma
Laurie should stop being in House and get back to comedy – his eyes are made for comedy – haha.
I have never seen that sketch (till now of course). Loved it. Loved the way Hugh and Steve work together. I agree that Hugh’s eyes are made for comedy. He is so much nicer here than in House. Love the travelling poetry bag. Some great lines.. Hee hee, hee hee.
Glad you like it Helen – they do work wonderfully together and obviously really enjoy themselves
Thanks for the laugh, Gabe
Stephen’s haircut was enough to set me off
You’re not kidding bluebee – it’s hilarious (and his outfit!)
Still laughting…a perfect start to my Monday!
Yes, it took me a while to stop laughing Charles
You remind me, Gabrielle, that I desperately need a new Travelling Poetry Bag….
hehe – Kate, I must set about designing the perfect proper poetry travelling bag and hawking it on my blog
It would come with a list of rules for travelling with dangerous words! Hope you are enjoying the jubilee celebrations in ye olde England.
Nothing short of genius!
Yes! They are both multi-talented Graham
The extent of Fry’s work (comic, actor, novelist, poet, non-fiction writer, commentator, blogger, mental health advocate and role in documentaries) is mind boggling – genius indeed.
I watched this again last night … yes just right for the busy executive to catch in between meetings … LOL
hahaha – I’ve watched it a few times between all my meetings Geoffrey
