As a British backpacker in 1998, I remember arriving in Perth and asking the guy at the Tourist Information Office, "What's the cheapest way to get to Rottnest Island?" and he replied, "Swim". That's when I knew I could move here! And I did 6 years later. 🙂
@@pyrmontbridge4737 still mindreading and getting it wrong, also you're assuming everyone is american? Foxnews isn't a thing where i live. You seem to have some kind of image of what people who critique your opinion should be, but you're making it all up in your head, real people aren't like what you've conjured up.
Wonderful to see this charming person looking so fit and fine! Great news he is HERE in Oz... Congrats. Wishing him wonderful times during his stay and performances.
I was living in Perth in 1981and was half way through my sojourn there. As someone who could usually pick up an accent really easily I had extreme difficulty working out how they actually spoke in the way they did. You, sir, did it perfectly. I have always thought they had to devise a way of speaking that avoided flies entering the moistness of their mouths.
@@pyrmontbridge4737 we all don't know that, because I haven't watched it again since. So I know that I haven't watched it. In your case I'm sorry you failed once again. Good day
Fry is the duck's guts. He does some brilliant Aus accents. If you see his story of the pilot on the plane's p.a, you will know exactly what I mean. He's a Commonwealth treasure.
@pyrmontbridge4737 as wonderfully caring and understanding is Stephen Fry, I believe he tried so hard to not talk down to the panel.....he did so well, whilst the panel were left gobsmacked....had no real idea of the genius and humility of this gorgeous man.
@@yvonnegould2000 I think you quite underestimate how sharp the panel are and how the banter flowed well. A problem in Australia is that some people have an unjustified inferiority complex.
As a kiwi my first time in Australia, I was in a bakery shop and asked for a "pasty" as in Cornish pasty which were in the display cabinet warmer, the assistant didn't know what I meant until I pointed it out, and she said "ah, a pay-stee, why didn't you say so". 🤣
Of course now he's going to have to do 'An Evening Out' in a slightly more public setting with perhaps some QR question and answers, and at least one moment where someone has to raise their voice to yell 'Oy you lot! Pipe down! Stevo's talkin' and that's with at least four to six vowel sounds in 'talking' without the slightest hint of a g. 'An Evening In With Stephen Fry' is just a five-minute video of him in a comfy chair, wearing slippers, with a nice cup of tea and a book. And otherwise blessed silence. Soft, relaxing music at the most.
ATTENTION PLEASE...Anyone who went to see Stephen Fry's show live in Australia...did yet to see what was under the grey sheet, that was disguise something tall? What was it?
thats funny. When i lived there, if i was talking about someone to an aussie, and the aussie wanted to know what nationality the person was they'd ask "what nasho was he mate?"
@@heatherfruin5050 maybe its an aussie european word then, i worked for greeks in aus and they said it, also my mate whos aussie but of spanish and greek background used to say it
The star of Skippy was Liza Goddard. She was a britisher. Pretty tastey as I recall. Yes I know you might say it was Gary Pankhurst or Ed Devereaux or Ken James. I disagree

Stevo.

@@AIMUSIC5555 With a PH, yes, you're correct. Because he can be somewhat acidic.😉
The Project makes my brain hurt but Stephen makes it smile 👍😁
Totally concur! 👍👍
Oh yes, I believe that's a perfect way to describe this show
Absolutely agree. I cringed when I saw Stephen Fry (because I wanted to hear his story) but it was on The Project….
This is the only appearance that will have me watch the project
You better stick with the Skynews propaganda network then.
@@pyrmontbridge4737 not a fan of them either
@@pyrmontbridge4737 what's that, crawl back into your bubble where you mind read everyone and always miss lol

Always a delight to watch Mr Fry, a master of entertainment !!! ❤
This interview could have lasted hours! Such an entertaining soul.
so true !! Love Stephen Fry. I think we should ask him reading Yellow Pages, or Chinesse Restaurant Menu, that will still be very entertaining!
@@agustandany5652 or even … unboxing electronics from first-person POV … just heavy breathing - yes, that was his debut on RUclips
Wonderful to see this charming person looking so fit and fine! Great news he is HERE in Oz... Congrats.
Wishing him wonderful times during his stay and performances.
I adore this amazing human being. No one else in the world could have played Oscar Wilde.
Love listening to Stephen Fry, what a wonderful man,
Stephen Fry, always pleasurely teaching.
Our Australian language 'Our greatest cultural achievement' Stephen Fry knows it all too well, with great affection!
I love Australia, and Australians. I'm one. I love our accent and the way we speak, and this was brilliant, and very enjoyable!! Thank you.
Never had a bad time watching Stephen Fry. He's awesome.
He’s a beautiful soul.., intellect & educated yet humble🙏🙏
I'm such a huge fan of both Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie😊
Love Stephen, happy he is here in Aus.

This is the first time I've seen the project. Only because of Steven fry. I'll never watch it again now for 12 years
same.

Come on, we all know you loved it. You'll be back tomorrow.
@@pyrmontbridge4737 we all don't know that, because I haven't watched it again since. So I know that I haven't watched it. In your case I'm sorry you failed once again. Good day
I've hardly seen any of it since Charlie Pickering left and ch10 lost the big bash cricket
I just realised there is a deep meaning about the word Evening !!! Awesome
Stevo is a great sort. His observations are fueled by insatiable curiosity backed with a mega-intellect and great humour.
Love mr fry, used to crack up watching A Bit if Fry & Laurie when i was 10. One ticket for Sydney... purchased!
A gentleman who never condscends or shows contempt or hubris but presidents, dictators and popes live in fear of his words , written or spoken.

Not on Q.I. he never. Worse than Hugh Laurie's attempt at an american accent.
Stephen Fry has learnt that Australians love to be complimented.
No. He's just telling the truth.
Literally the first question they ask any foreign celebrity: "what do you think of us?"
We're an insecure bunch... desperate for validation... dominate the world of internet reactions as a result.
@@danidejaneiro8378 True. But all countries do that? And it is cringy.
a Flattening with Frizo. What a delight.
He does a brilliant Oz. He and Alan Davies doing strine on QI was hilarious
Just love him,he is great.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The panel missed a golden comeback there, 4:57 an Avro with Stevo would have got him
Arvo?
@@VanillaMacaron551Australian slang word meaning "Afternoon" 😁 We like to shorten words and put an "o" on the end
@@VanillaMacaron551 no no.. Avro - the world war 1 plane !!!

Interesting.... Stephen Fry's explanation of "Evening" in the context he was using for it.
The acid reflux voice is John Singleton.
John Singleton was so amazing after all the BBC accents on Aussie radio and tv.
now that is hilarious.. thankyou!
I saw that Perth show. It was brilliant :)
Wow he just dominated that studio for 6 minutes …
He does a great Aussie accent
A man of great intellect.
Stephen Fry is brilliant!
FRY IS AN ABSOLUTE GEM! (extra credit for mention of Laurie!)
Stephen Fry's voice will *always* remind me of Pokoyo.
Australian accent? We don't have accents. It's the rest of the world that has accents.
Loving him right now in Jeeves and Wooster.
Frizo is such a delight! 😂❤
Blast, to watch a clip of Stephen Fry I had to watch 6 minutes of the Project.
1 It's Perthlings. And he would have been Steve-oh
Four of them, chirping ,bright eyed with ready laughs , and so so attentive....it's enough to make you ,, 🤮
I lived in Perth for a year in 1982, so I’m surprised I can’t remember that ad…
Neither can I. I've been in Perth since 1979.😊
you probably had more sense than to watch the telathon then I guess. Was clearly a telethon only ad
Beautiful!
Seven o'clock in the evening Down Under *is* brunch time back in Blighty!
Stephen Fry is truly interesting and intelligent entertainment, which is somewhat unusual for The Project.
I adore him!!!!!
You lovely bunch!
Fry is a wizard
My favourite Australian advertisement was for a hardware store whose motto is/was: “If we don’t have it, you don’t need it”
As a kiwi my first time in Australia, I was in a bakery shop and asked for a "pasty" as in Cornish pasty which were in the display cabinet warmer, the assistant didn't know what I meant until I pointed it out, and she said "ah, a pay-stee, why didn't you say so". 🤣
Pay-stee??? Not in my Australia. Pah-stee definitely
Where exactly in Australia were you? Cus that’s definitely a weird way of saying it, sounds like a nipple covering lmao
having one of the greatest minds on tv and then asking such mundane questions....what a missed opportunity.

The way they are all looking at him at 1:56 🤩
I'm surprised this show is still on TV 📺 😐 😳

Love Stephen Fry❤❤
I love Stephen Fry
We love our telethon
The ultimate Stephen Fry experience is to watch the RUclips video of him assembling an IKEA desk.
Steveo is a bloody champion.
I think his "diminutive' should BE frizza!
My nickname for him would be either "Chippy" or "Frenchy"
for french fry - exceptional choice *puffs pipe*
My thought exactly when I heard that. Frenchy or Mr. Chips.
I went to Sutherland national park near Sydney once . When I got
back my nephew said "So, have you been to the Nasho then?"
thats funny. When i lived there, if i was talking about someone to an aussie, and the aussie wanted to know what nationality the person was they'd ask
"what nasho was he mate?"
@@jamiew1664I've never heard anyone say that.
@@heatherfruin5050 maybe its an aussie european word then, i worked for greeks in aus and they said it, also my mate whos aussie but of spanish and greek background used to say it
@@jamiew1664- when I moved to Sydney from the sticks, my workmate (of Macedonian descent) asked me: what's your nasho? Or are you just Aussie?
What a wonderful guest on a terrible show
😂 Australia was still a British crown colony back those days!
4:16 to me this whole show is for people with no friends😂
I thought QLD Rail invented QR codes. Now I know!
The project, just a pack of muppets
Legend
Coupla interesting facts about Stephen Fry, His crooked nose is a result of a fall in the schoolyard when he was 6 and he has a 37 year old husband.
Anyone called Fry has the nickname Chook. As in egg.
Do any of them know what he is talking about? Too young.
Shes gettin on !
He diplomatically didn't mention one Aust voice he would of heard growing up in the UK in the 60s and 70s....
Whose?
Boy has this guy grown on me. I remember... say... 20-30 years ago, ugh! Guess it's me.
Look up "Stephen Fry Aussie Accent QI". I swear, it's the closest any English speaking foreigner has come to doing the Aussie accent accurately.
AUR NAUR!
2:12 Perthlings please 🙃
If one wants to hear the worst in Australian accents, they're all on Sky News.
This lot were looking for Stephen Fry to say something derogatory about OZ ,so that they could extend their cultural cringe about this country.
Strewth!, it's Sdayvun Froy, might.
The star of Skippy was Liza Goddard. She was a britisher. Pretty tastey as I recall. Yes I know you might say it was Gary Pankhurst or Ed Devereaux or Ken James. I disagree
Stezza Frizo.
Google has added "Translate to English" below this comment.
Only here for the Fryster.
What's so wrong with "Fryey"?
FRYZO!!!
Oz did not butcher English, it perfected it.
Imagine if his first Aussie accent was Jeannie Little ???
This is like Stephen Fry appearing on The View with Whoopi. I don't think he realises what he's on.
It took Stephen to get me to click on a Project video… hopefully he doesn’t go on Sky News as well.
I think that ad for the LNP is so badly acted it is an embarrassment,
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!!!!
The forced laughing on this panel is annoying
Everything about the sychophantic 'panel' is embarassingly sickening.
The Cheap Seats should replace The Project.
Stephen Fry must have been paid to appear. Why would you go on TP for free.
To promote your show?
Why do they need 4 people to interview one man?🥴
Because that one man's intelligence is equal to (or greater than) that of the four panel members combined.
😂😂😂
Audience and panel are cringe.
