Britain's living legends of comedy, John Cleese and Eric Idle, announce their must-see new show, John Cleese & Eric Idle: Together Again At Last...For The Very First Time, coming to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota tonight, October 2nd at 7:30pm. Tickets start at $59.50 (plus service fees) and go on-sale Friday, June 19th at 10am at VanWezel.org , or the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall Box Office

In Together Again At Last...For The Very First Time, Cleese and Idle will blend scripted and improvised bits with storytelling, musical numbers, exclusive footage, aquatic juggling and an extended audience Q&A to craft a unique comedic experience with every performance. No two shows will be quite the same, thus ensuring that every audience feels like they're seeing Together Again At Last... For The Very First Time, for the very first time. And now you know why the show is called that, don't you?

Running from October October 2 to 30, the tour will see the British icons perform unforgettable sit-down comedy at premier venues in Sarasota, Ft. Meyers, West Palm Beach, Miami, Clearwater, Orlando, Savannah, Charlotte, Baltimore, and more!*

As founding members of Monty Python, Cleese and Idle are unarguably among the godfathers of modern comedy, helping to pioneer an irreverent, absurdist sensibility that is emulated by comics around the world. As individuals, they have written, performed and produced some of the most beloved and critically-acclaimed shows of all-time like Spamalot, A Fish Called Wanda, Fawlty Towers and The Rutles.

*Yes, most of the shows are in Florida. Yes, this is a deliberate ploy by John & Eric to score a free vacation. Yes, they're perfectly okay with you knowing that. England is very dreary come October.
