Stephen Fry Is Bringing His New Comedy Show to Australia
How very droll.
Fans of the legendary Stephen Fry should prepare to laugh, cry and squabble over ticket sales because the man himself is coming down under in November with a new comedy show, Telling Tales.
The announcement hit hungry inboxes this morning, accompanied by an arguably redundant biography about Fry’s history of making us laugh, cry and think; from his days in A Bit of Fry and Laurie and Blackadder all the way up to his poignant LGBT doco Out There. Yes, we know who he is. Yes, we will sell our hair to go to his show and bask in his glowing presence.
Fry will be hitting the big cities, Melbourne (Hamer Hall), Canberra (Royal Theatre, Perth (Riverside Theatre) and Sydney (State Theatre). Sorry Brisbane, next time. The show has been described rather alliteratively as an evening of "fun, frolic and uniquely Fryish delight" but let's be honest, the host of QI, the best TV quiz show of all time, needs no fancy introduction. Frankly we’d respond the same way to an email that just barked, "Stephen Fry is coming to Oz, buy a ticket you garbage people." Speaking of, tickets go on sale Tuesday 1 September at 9am.
