This first ever, officially authorised biography of Fry & Laurie takes us on their journey from insecure Footlighters to international comedy heroes. It is the tale of a true friendship, a deep affection between two very funny men which has long been reflected back from an adoring public.
Jem Roberts, acclaimed chronicler of *Blackadder *and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, covers everything from the excitement of being the first Perrier Award winners with *The Cellar Tapes *to the terrors of performing on Saturday Live, the collaborative warfare of *Blackadder *and the ultimate depiction of Wodehouse’s most inimitable characters, Jeeves & Wooster. Beyond this, the trials and tribulations of their remarkable subsequent separate career paths, from QI to House, will be explored for the first time.
With tantalising, never-before-seen titbits from the *A Bit of Fry & Laurie *archive, and interviews with Emma Thompson, Richard Curtis, John Lloyd and more, this history of Fry & Laurie is an overdue celebration, paying tribute to a legacy of laughter from one of the funniest double acts of all time.
