What:
And now for something completely different…
Actor, comedic genius and cheese shop denizen John Cleese, of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers (not to mention A Fish Called Wanda) fame, is back with a brand-new show. Incorporating film clips, stand-up and occasional “naughty bits,” this one-man extravaganza will, in typical Cleese fashion, “push the envelope of acceptable behavior in new and disgusting ways,” as he discusses his most pressing medical problems, his inability to find a suitable female companion, his mistrust of folk-dancing, and his latest plan for world peace.
