Stephen Fry is one of Britain's best known comedy stars. The actor, writer and presenter joined the Cambridge Footlights at university, where he performed alongside his future double-act partner Hugh Laurie in shows, including the award-winning 1981 Cambridge Footlights Revue. The duo's hit sketch show A Bit Of Fry & Laurie launched on the BBC in 1986. His comedy CV also features sitcoms such as Blackadder and panel show QI, which he hosted for more than a decade.
