Eric Idle and John Cleese Tour
Comedians Present ‘Together Again at Last … for the Very First Time’
“There’s something sweet about the show because it is a conversation between two old friends who’ve known each other 53 years,” said Eric Idle of his tour with John Cleese, Together Again at Last … for the Very First Time. “It’s a sort of narrative about how we got to be involved [with each other] and when Python came in and then what things happened.”
Idle and Cleese have spent their lives tickling our collective funny bone. From the pair’s stint with Monty Python to Idle’s award-winning musical Spamalot to Cleese’s many film and TV appearances (Fawlty Towers, A Fish Called Wanda, Will & Grace), the multitalented British wits have earned their status as comedy legends. Now they are taking it on the road, offering up a humorous retrospective of their life’s work. I recently spoke to Idle about the tour.
What would you like to say about the show you are doing with John Cleese?
