An Evening with John Cleese

Overview

After a series of sell-out shows in 2012 as well as a brief tenure as a member of the Philosophy Department at the University of Woolamaloo, British comedian John Cleese is bringing his one-man show back to Australia.

Combining classic clips with candid personal anecdotes, An Evening with John Cleese will cover the comedian’s entire life and career, from his experiences as a gangly, six-foot-tall 12-year-old to his work with the Monty Python troupe and the much-loved comedy series, Fawlty Towers. No word on whether he’ll touch on his role in the much maligned Bond flick Die Another Day. Presumably, he won’t be mentioning the war.

Cleese’s solo Australian tour will precede the feverishly anticipated, live on-stage Python reunion in London this July. But there still hasn't been any announcement on whether the troupe is planning any international dates, with Cleese himself remarking that the problem with travelling to Australia is that “there are planets closer than that".
