'One of the best sketch shows . . . sharp writing and a delight for words and wordplay' ROLLING STONES 
 
Across four brilliant series of great satire, comic genius and hilarious use of language, A Bit of Fry &amp; Laurie cemented Stephen and Hugh as a double act and paved the way for their future stardom. 
 
This is the definitive compendium of everything the pair have written together, including early and never-before-published sketches, all threaded through with TV stills and early photography of the duo.

Before they became Hollywood stars and national treasures, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie were simply two brilliant young writers trying to make each other laugh. Fortunately for the rest of us, they wrote it all down. 
 
For the first time, every script they wrote together is collected in one definitive volume. From their earliest collaborations to the complete scripts of A Bit of Fry &amp; Laurie, alongside rare and previously unpublished material, FRY &amp; LAURIE: EVERY FUNNY THING THEY'VE EVER WRITTEN brings together the gloriously inventive, endlessly quotable work of one of Britain's most beloved comic partnerships. 
 
Here are brilliant comic set-pieces, impossible misunderstandings, linguistic gymnastics, inspired absurdity and the kind of wit that somehow manages to be both wonderfully silly and devastatingly clever. Whether you're rediscovering old favourites or meeting them for the first time, this is a chance to revisit the writing that made generations laugh — and to discover why it still does.

Stephen Fry (Author) 
Stephen Fry is an award-winning comedian, actor, presenter and director who rose to fame alongside Hugh Laurie in A Bit of Fry and Laurie. He is the Sunday Times bestselling author of four novels, three volumes of autobiography and a hugely successful series of Greek myth retellings. 
 
Hugh Laurie (Author) 
Hugh Laurie studied at Cambridge University, where he was introduced to future comedy partner Stephen Fry by a mutual friend. He went on to star in Blackadder, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, Jeeves and Wooster and House. His enormously successful first novel, The Gun Seller, was published in 1996 and he has since written the screenplay for a film version.
