An Evening with John Cleese

Finished
Bookings & Enquiries:
This event has now passed
Legendary UK comic John Cleese - star of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers - is bringing his one man show - An Evening With John Cleese to Australia in 2012. Cleese is loved the world over for his comedic antics in cult films such as Monty Python and the Holy Grail , Monty Python's The Meaning of Life , The Life of Brian and the ever memorable television series Fawlty Towers .  In 1998 he won a British Academy Award for Best Actor in A Fish Called Wanda which also starred Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline.  He also appeared in the James Bond films The World is Not Enough and Die Another Day . Few comedy troupes have reached the same fame of Monty Python, and a large part of that success was due to John Cleese and his impeccable timing and sense of humour. Cleese describes his one man show as "an evening of well honed anecdotes, psychoanalytical tit-bits, and unprovoked attacks on former colleagues, especially Michael Palin." Cleese has mastered everything from dry wit to slapstick humour, making his type of humour one that everyone can enjoy.  He is the master comedian and admired and respected by everyone.  Don't miss this legendary comedian.
