Fry and Elton - A Crisis Of Faith

Stephen Fry & Ben Elton's "A Crisis Of Faith" sketch from 1986.

Even THEN in a relatively small audience, you could hear a loud distinct clap at the bacon exists line.

Stephen Fry as a nun, I think my ife is complete.

Elton gets close to funny delivery the couple times in here he stops yelling. But just imagine how funny this sketch would be with Hugh Laurie in his role.

Excellent

Elton's not a patch on Laurie.

Ben Elton cannot act.

[@John-yf7iy]

He can act, but the only role he can play is "Ben Elton". Which is pretty much what every one of us does every day of our lives (play ourselves, I mean, not play Ben Elton).

@@John-yf7iy He doesn't play it very well though.

@@John-yf7iy Some people just naturally play the Gussie. It happens. Typecasting is a thing for a reason.
