Not Fry’s best work- painful to listen to.

“Fry is of course renown for the breadth of his general knowledge, unfortunately he has here relied on his reputation to enliven his audience rather than content.
It is clear that Fry has not prepared or researched this performance. He lists a few blindingly obvious and well known facts in a dithering, repetitive, rabbit-in-the-headlights delivery which is irritating to listen to. The piece has no structure and offers no insight or information not already plain to any reasonable individual.
Perhaps the greatest disappointment is the almost complete lack of humour. Fry’s enthusiasm is clear but his delivery is poor, the handful of old chestnuts that are thrown in are so mangled that anyone who did not know Fry would assume he had never previously performed before an audience.
This stammering, rambling discourse is difficult to follow and painful to listen to. There are glaring mis-statements: ´everybody can speak...’, Fry dithers and refers us elsewhere for simple facts he could easily have found which would have given interest and depth.
All in all a disappointment and a missed opportunity.”
