    A Most Enjoyable Evening

    by Peter Nicolle on 1/24/24Bergen Performing Arts Center - Englewood

    First of all, I had very good seats and was seated next to a very nice (fairly new) Monty Python fan from Korea. As I expected, Mr. Cleese was very entertaining and was just a delightful evening. The best part was meeting him, which was a very drama-less experience. There actually weren't that many people (around 30-ish?) lined up to meet him and it all went very smoothly, which I was slightly surprised but grateful for. I've been a fan of his since I first saw Monty Python in the 1980's, and it was a thrill to meet him, shake his hand and get the photo taken by the production people for me and get it later on their website. Kudos to BergenPAC and the production company involved for providing a very enjoyable experience.

    What a great comedic icon

    by FunGuyIA on 12/9/23Vibrant Music Hall - Waukee

    Was a great chance to meet and greet a comedic Icon, and a person that had a great deal with my growing up! I was in Jr High, and my friends and I would stay in on Saturday nights just to watch Monty Python on public television. I think it kept us out of a lot of trouble as well. Thanks John!

    A Wonderful Way To Spend an Evening

    One of the most enjoyable evenings I’ve had in a very long time. If you’re a fan of John this is a must see.

    Cleese was great --Venue is dissapointing

    by whatever on 11/22/23Vibrant Music Hall - Waukee

    John Cleese was great...very funny and entertaining. The venue and tickmaster were terrible...The first problem was that the tickets said the show was at 6PM. We arrived at 5:45 and had to pay $15 to park--this is a small suburban location in Waukee Iowa! Parking in downtown Des Moines doesn't cost that much--complete RIPPOFF. Then there was a long line to get in, only to find out that the DOORS OPEN at 6, the show was at 7:30---we had already paid for parking, so we had no choice but to wait...then they let everybody in at 6, but kept us captive in a jam packed lobby (because everybody had arrive early for a 6PM show!) until 6:30---trying to sell high priced alcohol and snacks. I have NEVER bought a ticket to anything in my life that listed the time as the door opening time--complete screwup by ticketmaster/live nation. After all that dissapointment...the seating in the venue was astonishingly poor---nothing had indicated that the seating was not permanent seats!!!! The entire main floor was open flooring, which had been set up with folding chairs---not even decent folding chairs but those flimsy plastic chairs that are 10 inches wide and can't comfortably hold anyone over 100 lbs.--and they were zip tied together. (The people around us solved that with some nail clippers). This venue is trying to portray itself a a first class facility--they sure spent plenty of money on fancy led lighting and decked out the 5 or 6 bars with plenty of fancy style--but to cheap out on the $1.99 K-mart special chairs is astonishingly poor judgment-I will never go back to this venue again, I'll stick with the classier places in downtown where they know how to cater to ADULTS. They should stick to shows that cater to the TikTok crowd and leave the better entertainment to the real venues.

    Not a bad seat in the upper house

    by Dirtydawg on 11/21/23Vibrant Music Hall - Waukee

    First time to Vibrant Music Hall. Saw John Cleese and his daughter, very funny show. Was great to see Mr. Cleese in person .Neat set up and there are no bad seats on the second level. All seats have a good view of the stage anywhere on the balcony level that I could see. (Walked around during intermission). Venue makes the stage seem very close. Good sound, did not miss a word. The main floor is non padded folding chairs, and I will always want to again be seated in the fixed and padded balcony theater type seats in the future. Clean restrooms, elevator available. Non reserved parking was little slow, but hey I think it was the 3rd or 4th show ever held there. Will be attending events there again.

    Still funny, but would be just as funny without profanity

    by SandyHanc on 11/19/23The Factory - St. Louis

    John Cleese was funny. He was accompanied by his daughter who was his opening act. I didn’t appreciate the amount of profanity she used—could have been just as funny without it. The clips from Monty Python enhanced the show.

    Pleasant evening with a few laughs

    by Roxy on 11/19/23The Factory - St. Louis

    I love John and Monty Python, so I hate to leave such a “meh” review, but it really just wasn’t super memorable. John told a few good stories. I didn’t care much at all for his daughter as the opening act. Very mediocre comic. While I don’t expect cheap concessions at any event, the alcohol prices there were pretty outrageous. I’m still trying to wrap my head around how we paid $30 for two regular sized cans of beer.

    A fun night with John Cleese!

    by KL42 on 11/19/23The Factory - St. Louis

    It was a fun night! Cleese was on his form and he worked well with his daughter who also did some good stand up. I also enjoyed The Factory and it’s look.

    An Evening With An Icon

    by Bill on 11/19/23The Factory - St. Louis

    How could spending an evening with one of the all time comedy greats not be…great? John Cleese didn’t disappoint in being exactly who you hoped he would be. Sardonic, insightful and thoroughly entertaining, Mr. Cleese is simply one of a kind. I only wish it would have lasted for hours more.

    John Cleese is still very funny!

    by Ruthi on 11/19/23The Factory - St. Louis

    As a long time Monty Python fan, it was wonderful for me to see and hear John Cleese! My husband and I along with our son and his wife laughed and laughed. I'm happy to find out that youtube has a Monty Python channel so that we can watch all those wonderful shows again.l

    Funny Guy

    by Nettie on 11/19/23The Factory - St. Louis

    Oh my gosh, John Cleese was so good! This was one of the best performances I’ve seen. I am so glad he came to St. Louis. His daughter cracked us up, too. Cheers!

    Just what you want from him

    by Bill on 11/19/23Adler Theatre - Davenport

    Camilla Cleese is a stand up comic in her own right and did solid 20 minute warm up act. She jokes about having her dad's sense of humor and height. She talked about how Jhn calles her his saber toothed daughter but she rminds him the initials are STD. Cleese's first act, about a half hour, feature him commentating on things he's worked on and included several clips. He talked about the only time he was really worried was when A Fish Called Wanda was released. He was afraid he might have gone to far with the story involving the dogs and was genuinely surprised that those scenes got the biggest laughs. He was joined by his daughter onstage for the seond act and started to answer questions from the cards filled out by the audience. Not sure why because they didn't get through to many but it gave him a chance to tell some more silly stories. One was questions was "Does Marjorie Taylor Green weigh more than a duck?"He answered with "I'm not sure but I do wonder just how many bones she has in her head."He was what you wanted him to be. Silly, charming and a little edgy in a few moments. There was one woman who kept making comments and waving a British flag. After she interrupted him again he finally looked at her and asked "Is there anything else you want to add to my show?"It shut her up fom that point on. He told the audience you may think yelling comments will improve the show but it won't. Very classy.

    Nepotism

    by Ron on 11/18/23Vibrant Music Hall - Waukee

    John Cleese was great! His daughter who opened and assisted ruined the show. Leave her at home. She wasn’t funny and she kept cutting John off and talking over him. John Cleese is a treasure and his daughter is a not funny junkie.

    Show was great! Venue experience not so much.

    by MBH on 11/18/23Vibrant Music Hall - Waukee

    Doors opened an hour and a half before the show started. There was no entertainment other than the bar which I’m sure was the point of the venues plan. It seemed like a tacky way of driving up alcohol sales. The chairs were the absolute smallest and cheapest plastic I’ve ever seen. They were already rusty and in poor overall shape. There was zero padding and very uncomfortable which made the wait time even more frustrating. The size gave no personal space. It felt like chairs for small children.

    Truly a bucket list night.

    by Ren Phondeth on 11/18/23Vibrant Music Hall - Waukee

    John Cleese was fantastic to listen to. My best friend said it was like story time with curse words and dirty jokes and i couldnt agree more. I have watched this mans comedy my entire life, thanks to my father. Monty Python has been our father daughter bonding since I was little. I loved hearing him talk. He couldve sat there just sipping water and eatting cheese and i wouldve been content. Hearing him talk about pranks and skits and his personal life was amazing. He s as funny and sharp as he s ever been. Sitting that close to a comedy legend wouldve only been made better if my dad had been able to join but had to work. Just an absolutely wonderul evening.

    Solid show

    by Richard on 11/15/23Coronado Performing Arts Center - Rockford

    If you’re a fan of any of John Cleese’s work, you’ll appreciate the insight look he gives you. It’s a strong show and I’m glad I got to go.

    Very silly evening

    by Buzz on 11/15/23Coronado Performing Arts Center - Rockford

    Mr. Cleese was engaging, interesting and very silly. He was not quite dead, which was disconcerting and detracted from the joyfulness of the evening.

    MORE CLEESE PLEASE.

    by Jammy on 11/15/23Coronado Performing Arts Center - Rockford

    John Cleese is a fascinating, down to earth and thoughtful man. And he is funny and Clever. His daughter is also a chip off the old block. A really fun evening.
