Overview
- Cleese announced the tour on Wednesday, saying it will run from 1 September to 22 September with 18 stops including Basingstoke Anvil Arts and Leeds Grand Theatre.
- Each evening pairs a full screening of the 1975 film, introduced by Cleese, with a 45-minute audience question-and-answer session led by the star.
- Tickets are on sale now with headline pricing reported at £39.50 and some local listings showing ranges up to about £70, and a Watford show is scheduled for 14 September at Watford Colosseum.
- Organisers frame the run as a celebration of the film’s enduring influence and the events follow recent stage activity linked to Cleese, such as last year’s Fawlty Towers adaptation.
- For fans the tour offers rare live access to Cleese to hear behind-the-scenes stories, and it is likely to drive demand at regional theatres that host the shows.
