For the first time in 17 years, legendary Monty Python member/writer/producer/lecturer (and silly walk advocate) John Cleese returns to Montreal to prove to his legion of local fans that he is still alive and well, which explains why he has called his new tour “Not Dead Yet!”, and makes a one night only stop at the L’Olympia on October 8 at 7:30 p.m.

Golden anniversary of Monty Python and the Holy Grail

But Cleese has another reason for this tour, which explains the subtitle “John Cleese and the Holy Grail at 50”. He will helm an evening of legendary laughs and unforgettable hilarity, as the cult classic comedy “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” marks its golden anniversary this year.

Special screening and Q&A

The event begins with a special screening of the movie, followed by a one-on-one conversation and audience Q&A session with the man behind Sir Lancelot, Tim the Enchanter and the Taunting Frenchman. Eager fans will be discovering plenty of anecdotes and behind-the-scenes stories the only way John Cleese can deliver them, whether it be the Knights who say “Ni!”, why coconuts were used to simulate riding a horse, the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, or the killer rabbit.

Get Tickets to John Cleese at L’Olympia

Tickets for John Cleese’s “Not Dead Yet!” Tour goes on sale starting April 10 at 10 a.m., via ticketmaster.ca. There will also be a limited block of VIP tickets available for purchase, which includes prime seating and a post-show photo op with Cleese himself. By the way, the ticket price does not include two empty halves of coconuts to bang together; you will just have to provide them on your own.
