Nicosia, Cyprus. Veteran British comedian John Cleese will perform in Cyprus for the first time on Tuesday, 10 November, presenting his one-man show Last Time To See Me Before I Die at Eleftheria stadium.
The show is scheduled to begin at 7.30pm.
Career retrospective
The performance will offer a personal look back at Cleese’s life and career, including recollections of his work with Monty Python and Fawlty Towers, as well as reflections on fame, ageing and death.
Cleese co-founded Monty Python and helped pioneer absurdist sketch comedy through Monty Python’s Flying Circus and the group’s subsequent films. One of the group’s most controversial films was Life of Brian, for its depiction of a messianic figure.
Film and television work
Beyond Monty Python, Cleese wrote and starred in Fawlty Towers, widely regarded as one of the finest British sitcoms.
He also wrote and starred in A Fish Called Wanda, a role that earned him a BAFTA and an Oscar nomination, among other film and television credits.
Tickets
Despite its title, the show was originally billed as a farewell tour but has continued for years in various countries.
Pre-sale tickets will go on sale on Wednesday at 10am.
