Sean Lock is one of the most original comics around today. You’ll probably see him sharing his witty and punchy remarks with his friends Bill Bailey, and Jimmy Carr on Stephen Fry’s QI, and on other TV shows as well, but you should check out his brilliant (dark) comedy series “15 Storeys High” (2002) one of the most underrated shows in recent years. His hyperactive imagination combined with surreal and insightful observations will make you not only laugh out loud, but afterwards go, “d..mn I wish I would have thought of that!”…

Where can you start when you are trying to describe Stephen Fry to someone who hasn’t had the luck to know him. He is the Oscar Wilde of our times and one of my role models. It is impossible not to like Stephen Fry. He is the smartest, but he is not smug. Apparently he knows almost everything and he is interested in everything. He also does everything and is brilliant at it. He is funny, he is a comedian, he is a writer, a poet, he is an actor, he is noble (have we got any other of those, these days?). He is currently the encyclopedic host of BBC quiz show QI, (2003 – ), a show that you must check out, and you will probably get addicted to it like all of us. He is best known for his starring role in Wilde (1997), a film about the life of Oscar Wilde, the brilliant, ground-breaking series A Bit of Fry and Laurie (1986-1995), with his friend Hugh Laurie, Blackadder, of course, and Jeeves and Wooster (1990-1993). The most amazing thing about Stephen Fry is however how much you will be charmed by his personality, his wit, and his kindness.
