John Cleese and Eric Idle announce US tour for October
Comedy News | Jun 15th, 2015
have decided to get out of England in October and tour (mostly) Florida together. There will be golf outtings at 6am, shuffle board, dinners at 3pm…it will be a good time! It’s the first leg of their tour so let’s hope for a NYC date soon!
John and Eric today announced the first leg of U.S. tour dates for their new show “John Cleese & Eric Idle: Together Again At Last… For The Very First Time”, with tickets going on sale this Friday 19th June.
Running from October 2nd to 30th, the tour will see them perform sit-down comedy at premiere venues in Sarasota, Ft. Meyers, West Palm Beach, Miami, Clearwater, Orlando, Savannah, Atlanta, Charlotte, Baltimore and more!
The show will “blend scripted and improvised material with storytelling, musical numbers, exclusive footage, aquatic juggling and extended audience Q&A”.
John and Eric had this to say: “Yes, most of the shows are in Florida. Yes, this is a deliberate ploy to score a free vacation… England is very dreary come October”.
