Having read some of the comments below here are some TV and book suggestions if you're interested in exploring some of Mr. Fry's work.
TV
A Bit of Fry and Laurie a sketch comedy show he did with his friend Hugh Laurie (Dr. House on TV's House. Yes, he's English.)
Jeeves and Wooster Television adaptations of P.G. Wodehouse books. (Wodehouse is definitely worth reading.)
Kingdom A typical quaint village TV show that's not particularly exceptional but is entertaining (if you like British TV).
Stephen Fry in America A really great series in which Mr. Fry drives through the United States in a London style cab meeting locals and making observations.
Also worth seeing: Last Chance To See and Black Adder.
BOOKS
The Liar I recommend this if you like clever writing and unusual stories but I read it well over 10 years ago and can't sum up the plot.
Hippopotamus An odd and humorous tale of a not exactly friendly middle aged man who is asked by an old friend to investigate some unusual goings on at a country estate.
Revenge A clever retelling of a classic story. (I won't name the classic as I wasn't aware it was a retelling until a ways into the book I realized the plot was similar to the classic. So, if you're interested in making your own discovery skip the jacket notes and site reviews.)
Moab Is My Washpot The first of Mr. Fry's autobiographies, this one covers his childhood and teen years. He's completely honest about growing up gay and also about the less than ideal fellow he was.
The Fry Chronicles Mr. Fry's second autobiography which covers his college years and the beginning of his professional career.
The Ode Less Travelled: Unlocking the Poet Within A surprisingly interesting and informative book about writing poetry.
INTERNET
The New Adventures of Mr. Stephen Fry Mr. Fry's website.
Stephen Fry on Twitter
Stephen Fry on Tumblr
And for something really interesting and easy to access, watch (or listen to) a video free-form talk he did for a magazine or website. He makes some great observations and points about modern times, life in general, and how to be a happy and decent person.
