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 and aquatic juggling to create a unique comedic experience with every performance. No two shows will be quite the same, ensuring every audience feels like they're seeing Together Again At Last... For The Very First Time, for the very first time.
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.
Tickets start at $49.95 (plus applicable fees) and go on sale Monday, June 20 at 10 a.m. PDT at anybox office at The Venetian or The Palazzo, online atwww.venetian.com or by calling (702) 414-9000 or (866) 641-7469.

On the small screen, John Cleese is known for his work on programs such asCheers, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Will & Grace, and the Emmy®-nominated TLC documentary The Human Face with John Cleese. His film credits includeSilverado, The Out-of-Towners, Rat Race and Kenneth Branagh'sFrankenstein. He also co-authored two best-selling books on psychology -Families and How to Survive Them and Life and How to Survive It - and served briefly as Minister of Defense in the John Major Cabinet. He recently completed his autobiography So, Anyway... which was described by the Daily Mail as "self-obsessed." In his twilight years, John passes his time writing film scripts, giving speeches to business audiences, doing seminars on creativity, teaching at Cornell, paying alimony, and doting on three huge cats and a fish.
Long unmemorable as an actor, Eric Idle has trotted out an interminable number of glib performances in funny wigs and a bad moustache in numerous films and television appearances. But it is as a writer that he will be best forgotten, with credits that include Hello Sailor, Pass the Butler, The Greedy Bastard Diary, The Road to Mars, Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Rutland Dirty Weekend Book, The Rutles, Spamalot, Not The Messiah and What About Dick? He also sings, tours, acts in bad movies, writes annoying songs, and generally never shuts up. Despite having Grammy®, Tony®, Writer's Desk, Lifetime Achievement, and numerous other awards thrust at him, Eric refuses to go away quietly. It's not right. He is currently sullying the internet atericidle.com (and @EricIdle onTwitter).
