Trim some of the dead wood

I am a huge fan of Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Laurie.
And I do not mean Mr. Bean and Dr. House!
Long before they became known as those two characters they
were setting the comedy world on fire as some of the best
talents in the genre.
The work they did together in Blackadder was tremendous, that
series was about as good as it gets.
It doesn’t stop there…Rowan was involved in Not the 9:00 News
back in the 70s and 80s, a superb comedy troupe on par with
Monty Python, The Frantics, the Royal Canadian Air Farce and
others like it.
He did sketch comedy on his own, producing two recordings
that contain classic pieces that I play on the show with zeal.
In short, he has been involved in some awesome comedy sketches
over the years, and we are all the better for it.
Hugh worked with the esteemed Stephen Fry to do Jeeves and
Wooster and later as Fry and Laurie, a comedy duo with
talent to spare.
All in all, both are a splendid example of the best of what’s
out there in the field of comedy, they have my undying
respect and gratitude for what they have given us.
Here they are doing a skit called “A Small Rewrite”.

Great Stuff!
