Unique Lives Experiences presents John Cleese in An Evening of Exceptional Silliness at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre on May 17, 2022
FROM MONTY PYTHON to Fawlty Towers to A Fish Called Wanda, British comedian, writer, and actor John Cleese is a household name, having appeared in many of the world’s hottest comedic hits of the last 50 years.
This coming spring, the legendary 82-year-old artist is embarking on a 12-city Canadian tour, which brings him to Vancouver’s QE Theatre on May 17, 2022 as part of Unique Lives & Experiences.
Best known for characters like his bumbling Basil Fawlty, the Black Knight (“It’s only a flesh wound”), Mr. Teabag of the Ministry of Silly Walks, the BBC Announcer (“And now for something completely different”), Sir Lancelot, and the instructor in the “Self-Defense Against Fresh Fruit” sketch, Cleese has also appeared in Shrek, Harry Potter, and James Bond movies.
Toronto-based Unique Lives & Experiences specializes in live lecture entertainment, having hosted the likes of Sir Sidney Poitier, Maya Angelou, Malala Yousafzai, and Michelle Obama.
Tickets for Cleese's show (recommended for ages 13 and up) and more details are at Unique Lives & Experiences.
