Comedy Legend John Cleese Coming to Canterbury this December

Best known for his idiosyncratic turns in Monty Phython and Fawlty Towers, Cleese brings his unique comedic perspective to The Marlowe Theatre with tales from his new book, So, Anyway.

Cleese has achieved a lot in his career, which started as a sketchwriter for BBC Radio's Dick Emery Show and then The Frost Report. After this, stardom beckoned, and Monty Python was created with Cleese co-writing and staring in four series and three films. He went on to achieve further success as the neurotic hotel manager Basil Fawlty in Fawlty Towers, which he co-wrote with then wife Connie Booth.

After huge UK success, Cleese went on to crack the USA with A Fish Called Wanda (which he wrote and starred in with Jamie Lee Curtis). The late 1990s saw him appear in Bond movie The World is Not Enough and later Die Another Day.

Exploring his thoughts on topics as diverse as the nature of comedy, the relative merits of cricket and water-skiing, and the importance of knowing the dates of all the kings and queens of England, So, Anyway is a masterly performance by a master performer.

It is at The Marlowe Theatre at 7.30pm on Monday 15 December. Tickets cost £29.50 (booking fee applies), which includes a copy of So, Anyway. The show contains adult themes and language.
