Description

An unmissable night of absurdity, laughter, and legendary comedy!

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate 50 years of Monty Python And The Holy Grail with the one and only John Cleese! This once-in-a-lifetime event features a special screening of the beloved cult classic, followed by an uproarious conversation and audience Q&A with Cleese himself, where he’ll share behind-the-scenes stories, wit, and wisdom – assuming he remembers any of it.

VIP ticket holders will also gain exclusive access to a special post-show photo op with Mr. Cleese – because some people are more important than others. Gather your fellow knights, dust off your coconuts*, and prepare for an evening of irreverent humor and unparalleled comedy history. Secure your tickets now – before Cleese really is dead! *Coconuts not included in ticket price.

VIP TICKETS

VIP tickets include premium seating, a downloadable post-show photograph with Mr. Cleese, and an exclusive tour poster. (No autographs.)
