Had a rip roaring fine watching The Holy Grail and listening to John reminisce with his daughter! Even my wife had a great time (and she usually thinks the Pythons are very silly people...). Thank you, Sir Cheese!
John Clease was great! So funny and learned a lot about the film, history, and the actors. Only thing not that great was the seating at the grove. Super tight and uncomfortable.
The movie was great as usual since it is Monty Python and the session with John Cleese after the movie was great. The Grove Of Anaheim was less than stellar for their VIP treatment. One bartender who was so slow we ended going to the lobby to get drinks and made it back before the line even moved in the VIP area. The food selection was poor as well as the limited stale food items. Don't waste your time on the Crystal Lounge and their VIP. Even the projector had issues when showing the movie. I mean come on.
Loved seeing a comedy legend and his "Sabre-toothed Daughter"live. Screening was nerdy fun. The seating however was awful. We were packed in on hotel banquet hall style chairs that were zip-tied together. I kept elbowing the poor lady next to me as we were both trying to stay comfortable. Sitting for 3 hours like that was like being in the middle seat on an airplane. Claustrophobic and tiring. Maybe sell fewer tickets and give the zip tied rows a rest. The staff were everywhere before the show, constantly cutting back and fourth through the line of people waiting for drinks in the reception area, milling around the lobby, etc. Maybe they were trying to look busy, but it was annoying to see that much staff wandering around such a small venue.
Highlight was meeting Mr. Cleese for sure! Movie was not synced properly, but that made it funnier. Question and answer portion was fun, my only gripe is it was so late. Starting earlier would have been more enjoyable for me
Loved the John Cleese show! Great to see him and hear his stories. The venue at the grove was nice, but expensive. 25$ to park, 30$ for a “double” drink which is smaller than solo cup. Chairs are individual and not very comfortable. Squished in with others. Not stadium seating. Staff very helpful and friendly. Overall, glad we went.
Good Entertainment, John and his daughter were very good team.,
What a treat to see one of my favorite comedians sharing his memories, and having fun doing it,,,as we all did!!
John Cleese is a gentleman. He is funny. His humor is often dark and deeply sarcastic. However, he welcomed the fans with warmth. Everyone who participated in the photo op was greeted with a smile and with genuine appreciation. Two important takeaways from last night: First, his last name rhymes with cheese not with geese. The family name had been Cheese. But his father changed it when he enlisted in the British army. Second, it is not clear that Marjorie Taylor Green weighs more than a duck.
John Cleese and his daughter are both very funny. Loved hearing his stories and their banter.
