Whilst at university, Fry became involved with the Cambridge Footlights, where he met his long-time collaborator and friend, Hugh Laurie. As half of the comic double act Fry and Laurie, he co-wrote and co-starred in A Bit of Fry & Laurie and Jeeves and Wooster. Fry’s acting roles include Blackadder, Kingdom, Bones, V for Vendetta, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows and The Hobbit trilogy. He has written and presented several documentary series and as a proudly out gay man, the award-winning Out There, documenting the lives of lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender people around the world is part of his 30-year advocacy of the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. Fry has written four novels: The Liar, The Hippopotamus (made in to a feature film in 2018), Making History and The Stars’ Tennis Balls.

Wodehouse & Fry
This might be the best paired author and narrator you could possibly hope for! I could listen to Mr Fry speaking the beautifully crafted words of Wodehouse all day, everyday.

Its more about Fry than Wodehouse
Fry injects life into anything and everything he tackles; this is vintage Fry - and is quality stuff.
His vocalisations of the characters are famously terrific, so that even indifferent material is given a boost - and so it is here, which I myself don't see as particularly vintage Wodehouse.
But even non vintage Wodehouse is still head and shoulders above the scribblings of the herd, of which he is certainly not a member. To quote Mr B. Wooster, Wodehouse "stands alone".

Mr Fry.
I have been recovering from a hip replacement and I’ve had to spend a long time without going out. This was depressing and boring me. Listening to Mr Fry read the beautiful prose by Mr Wodehouse amused me and uplifted me with his use of transferred epithets and other beautiful uses of the language. I particularly liked his references to golf and its happy niblicks.
