I mentioned, not too long ago, that Hugh Laurie
was a real talent in the world of comedy.
His work in Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster are
a real treat to watch, wonderful stuff that.
But most Americans only know him as “House”, a crusty,
drug addled yet skilled doctor of medicine plying his
trade in a fictitious hospital set somewhere in America.
A pity.
American television has a way of bringing you the lowest
common denominator and passing it off as entertainment.
That is one of the reasons that I avoid TV like the plague.
There is a common thread to his career, one of the best
pairings in the history of comedy actually, is his ongoing
work with the incredible Stephen Fry.
Fry and Laurie, as they are/were known, have worked together
since the early 1980s, introduced to one another by Emma
Thompson, while attending the University of Cambridge.
Their work together over the years has produced some of
the funniest moments in comedy history.
This skit is a great example of what they are capable of…
Piano Masterclass!

I laughed all the way through it
