STEPHEN FRY

I agree. I live on the Gold Coast - nearest capital Brisbane. It would be to spend an evening with the man himself.

Dear Stephen,

a plea from Melbourne: a trip to Australia surely cannot be considered complete without the experience of a Dim Sum from South Melbourne Market, a Cocktail (or three) in New Gold Mountain and A Duck, with Pinot, night at Old Kingdom with a host of carving tricks, throwing of pancakes, cucumber & spring onion, and Duck!!

I've also never experienced such a sports mad/devoted city that somehow manages to put on 3-4 huge sporting events on the same day, and still foodies and non-sports fans can get around using public transport without any major effect or ill-feeling.

Also, there is nothing quite like the experience of sitting at an AFL game where not only do the fans share the seating but they do so with a beer in hand. Quite a sight for someone used to UK Football grounds.

We hope you find it in your (and everyone's) best interests to make some time and come visit your Fans in Melbourne.

p.s. love the show (which one) ALL OF THEM!!

Eee, so very exciting.

This is just a quick question for anyone who's ever been to a Fry event before: Does Mr. Fry ever sign autographs? My assumption would be no, but I still hope.

Are there any more dates planned for Sydney? I only just found out about this from seeing an artwork on Redbubble, lol! http://www.redbubble.com/people/andrea311/art/5436891-2-jeeves-and-wooster
My boyfriend and I would really love to go, but I see that there are no more tickets available (cries)
Things like this are never advertised, which is a shame because I'm sure there would be a lot more people wanting to go if they saw a commercial about it.

Is there the faintest chance that someone out there has a ticket for the Melbourne 8pm Satuday show they'd be willing to sell?

Have gone through all the usual formal and informal channels, but nothing's out there.

If anyone can help, my eternal gratitude will be yours.

Thanks.

Could not agree more, Megan.

'Twas a wonderful evening and very thrilling for someone who spent most of their adolescence as a walking caricature of Stephen Fry.

I've witnessed the concert hall play host to two of the world's finest talkers in recent years - Mr. Fry and (back last year) his friend Christopher Hitchens. Both spoke with ease and wit with almost no recourse to notes.

I'm sure many in the audience saw parallels between SF's discovery of Wilde and Waugh and their own initial encounters with the man on the stage, whether it be through writing or performance.

I'd be interested to hear from someone who attended the second night, to see how far afield the topics of conversation were from the first night.
