Stephen Fry giving a lecture at Oxford University in January 2025

We are delighted to welcome Sir Stephen Fry to the English Faculty as this year's Visiting Professor of Creative Media, funded by News UK. As part of his role, he gave a public lecture on 24 January at the Sheldonian Theatre on the topic of 'Words Words Words — The Lure of Language'. You can watch a recording of the lecture below. 

Mina Yucelen, a third year History and English student, has also written a wonderful review of the event.

Sir Stephen was also kind enough to run a comedy workshop for the University's Oxford Revue. Adam Pickard, secretary of the Revue and an English student, has shared his experience of the workshop in a blog post.
