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

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.

@Ryaaaaaan I think she might be referring to the practice of eating the chocolate filling of a TimTam, then sucking Milo through the hole you've created in the biscuit.

[JZZ31]

What a great show.

[fatfacerick]

"would you like a tim tam?" wow, just hold on, that's easily the funniest question ever. I don't even need to see the rest of the questions sent in, that is obviously the funniest one of the whole bunch. I mean, "would you like a tim tam?" OMG that is so hilarious i think i'm going to throw up! Jennifer Byrne is retarded. Her interview with Hitchens was god awful too. And "will you be our lord and master" fucking sycophantic bullshit. God damn australians! They fucking suck on such a huge scale!

@graceygrumble not really saying jesus didn't exist makes me correct

[graceygrumble]

@jarvinator100 Sorry mate, even if you don't believe in the Christian view of who Jesus was, saying he didn't EXIST makes YOU mental.

Jesus was a bloke who lived approx. 2000 years ago and by all accounts said some groovy stuff. Shame his 'followers' don't live by these teachings.
