Just in case you didn't already know, John is touring Canada during the months of September and October:

Venues in Halifax, Ottawa, Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, Victoria and Vancouver.

Thanks for the information. I could do with a good dose of British humour. John Cleese is almost worth a trip to Edmonton but I'll probably go to see his show in Victoria.
Cheers!

Would he be funny stand-up? I don't know. Perhaps thirty years ago...

Not worth the $60+ that they want for tickets in Halifax !

Given that north Americans bang on about how funny Monty python is, maybe 30 year old John cleese stand up counts as new here.

75 in Vancouver!

Checked Halifax and there is only one evening out of four still available and it's nearly booked up!!!!

He's a bit of a tosspot isn't he?

Van not on sale til end of May!

I think it should be pointed out that Moncton is not on his schedule.

Nor Montreal.... home of "Just For Laughs" and the Comedy Festival! I suppose he doesn't want to do it all in French.....

If memory serves, he was the host for JFL a couple of years ago.

I don't believe it is stand up as such, more like a Peter Ustinov talk and Q and A. I would think it would be quite a nice evening along the lines of the Stephen Fry one I saw.

That would be better, though Stephen Fry is really becoming a tiresome bore these days. IMO.

He was at the snooker today sitting in on the BBC coverage. Its got naff all to do with him as he makes living these days by pretending to have no knowledge of popular culture. He should stick to hosting shit panel shows.
