Stephen Fry Live At The Sydney Opera House: 2010 (Part Three)

A great English icon visited an Aussie one when Stephen Fry came to the Sydney Opera House to discuss travel, language, the three W's (Wilde, Waugh and Wodehouse) and everything in between, in a 90 minute talk-fest. The night involved a cracking 45 minute chat by Fry and then a 45 minute Q&A with First Tuesday Book Club's Jennifer Byrne.

A true polymath and the epitome of a Renaissance Man, Stephen Fry is a natural treasure in his native land of England. A writer, presenter, social commentator, satirist, actor and TV personality, Fry's diverse interests and enthusiasms have seen him become one of a small handful of global cultural figures who have a significant presence in every form of media; radio, TV, film, print and online.

Better known for playing the lead in the film Wilde, Fry was Melchett in the Blackadder television series and is the host of the ABC TV quiz show, QI. He also presented the television series Stephen Fry In America, which saw him travelling across all 50 U.S. States in a London cab.

Apart from his work in television, Fry has contributed columns and articles for newspapers and magazines, and has written four novels and an autobiography, Moab Is My Washpot and appears frequently on BBC Radio.

Fry wields considerable influence through his use of the social networking site Twitter and is frequently asked to promote various charities and causes, often inadvertently causing the host website to crash due to the sheer volume of traffic generated by his large number of followers.

The fact that I will probably never meet this man is quite possibly the most tragic aspect of my life.

@trollfinger

don't think so.

he's explaining all the english cultural references and idioms to a non-english audience.

trying to be inclusive.

Stephen is so inspiring. Love hime. Not in a gay way. I love pussy. Even though I rarely get it. But Stephen really is really great.

[sophisable]

with his sense of humour and brilliance, he's so much more attractive than Brad Pitt, George Clooney or anybody else....

love him

@AnataNile It might be a mic/camera switch rather than an edit, but it is a mystery :P

@Superduperminime I was thinking the very same.  Especially when he was talking about Emma's Oscar and said "You could almost hear the drool hitting the carpet."

A few splashes of lemon on the papercut. Wonderful analogy

This should be called: A showing of Fry, down by the water.
