John Cleese Live at the Ohio Theatre Following Screening of MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, 9/30

Living comedy legend John Cleese will make an appearance at the Ohio Theatre for a live and truly unforgettable evening of conversation and audience Q&A. After screening Monty Python and the Holy Grail in its entirety, Cleese will "silly walk" his way on stage and tell stories of his life and career, perhaps even finally revealing the air-speed of an unladen swallow.

Tickets are $58 and $68 at the CAPA Ticket Center (39 E. State St.), all Ticketmaster outlets, and www.ticketmaster.com. To purchase tickets by phone, please call (614) 469-0939 or (800) 745-3000.
