Classic Aids fundraiser out again

A 1991 benefit featuring the likes of Rowan Atkinson, Eddie Izzard and Ben Elton is to be rereleased on video.

The Hysteria 3 concert was hosted by Stephen Fry for the Terence Higgins Trust.

Others on the star-studded bill includeRuby Wax, Julian Clary, Stephen Wright, Lenny Henry, Tony Slattery and Josie Lawrence. Music was provided by Beverly Craven, Jools Holland and Al Jackson.

The video is re-released on Monday by Laughing Stock at £12.99 - though you can save 15 per cent by buying from the label's website.

The gig was one of three spearheaded by Stephen Fry which raised almost £1million for the Aids research charity.
