Hoochie Coocher

The rather attractive Mr Hugh Laurie is 55 years old today...

In America, he's become a bit of a sensation thanks to his appearance as the star of House [no idea; never seen it], and more recently, for his blues albums.

Over here, of course, he is far more famous as the comedy partner of "national treasure" Stephen Fry - not least in Jeeves and Wooster, from which this pithy interpretation of Minnie the Moocher is taken...

Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry - Minnie the Moocher

Many happy returns!
