John Cleese, the British comedy genius behindFawlty Towers,Monty Python’s Flying Circusand the Ministry of Silly Walks, will appear live on the Sydney Opera House stage in August.
John Cleese In Conversation:From Monty Python to Fawlty Towers Livewill take place in conjunction with Cleese’s visit to Australia for the world tour ofFawlty Towers – Live, which brings Basil Fawlty and co. to the Roslyn Packer Theatre from Friday August 19 with an all-new cast.
And while Cleese won’t be reprising his legendary role as Fawlty himself, his Opera House appearance will give audiences a broad insight into his storied career, from the Cambridge Footlights to Python, James Bond and beyond.
Including, we hope, whatever inspired this nonsense:
John Cleese will be joined by James Valentine at the Drama Theatre, Sydney Opera House on Monday August 15. Tickets go on sale Monday July 25.
