John Cleese Is Coming Back To NZ

John Cleese and Eric Idle will bring their new show, John Cleese & Eric Idle: Together Again At Last ... For The Very First Time, to the Civic Theatre in Auckland on Wednesday, March 23, and the Michael Fowler Centre in Wellington on Monday, March 28 (tickets go on sale from Monday).

The septuagenarian pair - who are the tallest surviving members of Monty Python, long-time friends, and British comedy pioneers - have been touring the show around America this year, but promise that every show is different.

"No one show will be the same and all of them will annoy the politically correct," explains Cleese.

The pair blend scripted and improvised bits with storytelling, musical numbers, exclusive footage, aquatic juggling and an extended audience Q&A, and the title actually makes more sense than it might initially appear, because it's the first time the pair have toured together on their own. And given its spontaneity, they're hoping the show will feel like "the first time" every night.

The pair have said they're very much looking forward to bringing this show to "the friendliest people in the world"!
