About John Cleese
Where to begin with John Cleese? A true comedy legend, Cleese practised his comedy chops on the UK's satirical show The Frost Report in the 1960s before co-founding Monty Python. Surreal, anarchic and totally original, the sketch troop enjoyed enormous success the world over, and caused a huge storm of controversy with their movie Life of Brian. Post-Python, Cleese has created numerous iconic shows and characters, from A Fish Called Wanda, for which he received an Oscar nomination, to his bumbling hotel manager Basil Fawlty.

Fantastic evening
It was great to be able to see Monty Python and the Holy Grail in a theater again. It
was even better when Mr. Cleese was introduced by his daughter. The man is still a
comedic genius and the crowd seemed very appreciative where I was sitting. I don't
understand the negative review because he didn't get very political ( I guess some
people are too thin skinned) at all. The people complaining don't seem to
understand that Mr. Cleese pointed out some sad truths about our current political
situation. That's good comedy! The person complaining about "not enough
questions" had the opportunity to fill out as many question cards as they would
have liked but apparently chose to not participate. I, along with my wife and 20 year
old son, had a great time and if it would have been another half hour I would have
rated it 5 stars. It was over way too quickly. If he comes back to Fresno, we will go
again! Great night, great comedy with a legend! Come back Mr. Cleese! ... Read more

Truly a Gem!
First off, it seems the shows are changed slightly at each tour stop, so I can't speak to every "variety". But the one I attended was an introduction, the Holy Grail movie, then Q&A.. And it was wonderful! Cleese still has it, what a quick witted, hilarious man. Absolutely glad I went! ... Read more
