American fans of UK Comedy

Upon realizing that my friend Jimi and I were always private messaging about British Comedy shows we were finally stumbling upon, it occurred to me; if this is difficult for us (huge fans) how much harder would it be for the average person in America to find out about great UK Comedy? So, here it is. The first post on our Blog for Americans wanting to know about British Comedy they might not be aware of. There are so many classic British shows we could have started off with for our launch; THE GOON SHOW (1951-60), BEYOND THE FRINGE (1960-66), MONTY PYTHON (1969-74) - being just a few obvious ones. But somehow this clip of Stephen Fry (A BIT OF FRY & LAURIE, JEEVES & WOOSTER, BLACK ADDER, QI, etc) speaking on the difference in the social foundations of our two country's Comedy styles seems equally appropriate. And if that slew of references I just made is unfamiliar to you, have no fear; all these shows will be covered here soon enough. enjoy!
