Other reviews had me worried, but the Louisville, KY show was great! A well balanced mix of anecdotes, film clips, jokes, and audience interaction. My spouse and I agree it was 100% worth our time and ticket price.
I’m hearing impaired and there were no accommodations apparent for people with my disability. 160$ for two tickets and was able to hear two or three jokes. The speakers were so muddled that even with my hearing aids dialed up, I just couldn’t hear him. It was surreal to be in the same room as my hero, but I still feel like it was a near total waste.
didn't know what to expect coming in but John Cleese was funnier than I thought he would be and I had high expectations. His daughter opened for him and she was quite good as well. well worth the time and money
It was a most excellent experience. I would go to it again.
Being Monty Python fans, seeing John Cleese perform live was a dream come true for my husband, and quite a fitting 70th birthday gift. Mr. Cleese was a combination of a wise man, his comments hitting the mark in many contemporary issues, and a witty, veritable one-man comedic show. His performance provides tribute to his fellow Pythons with both video and commentary and his stories reveal a man who has lived his true life and appears to enjoy every minute of it. Alongside Mr. Cleese was his daughter, who additionally lit up the stage with her own brand of comedy, and worked in concert with her dad during the second half of the show. It was an entertaining night and we feel so fortunate to have attended the "Late John Cleese"Show. You would be remiss if you don't silly walk your way to his next performance and revel in his accomplished silliness.
i grew up on Fawlty towers and monty python, so seeing john cleese live (in some shape or form) has been on my list of things to do forever. as with so many of the icons of my childhood and youth, they are all my dads age now - or in that ballpark, and seeing them has never felt more important. he was funny, poignant, and his stories were warm and delivered with a clear fondness and appreciation for just being who he is. it was a wonderful evening out, and he was far more engaging than any other comedian i have seen live. really really glad i did it.
It is an honor and a privilege to have been able to see this man share his gift. So much laughter and knowledge from his work over my lifetime. Absolutely wonderful.
John Cleese is a master of comedy in my humble opinion. However, I might be a bit biased since I absolutely love Monty Python and the Holy Grail and all of the Monty Python sketches as a whole. It was amazing to listen to John Cleese talk about not only about Monty Python and what happened behind the scenes but also his thoughts on comedy as a whole and some stories from his life that he found enjoyable. If I ever get a chance to see him live again, I will gladly take it.
Kind of slow presentation with too many video clips. Left at intermission.
Great time listening to John Cleese talk about his amazing career and all the incredible people he worked with. Lots of hilarious clips and insider stories
Seeing John Cleese, while sitting in second row (thanks to the VIP Upgrade) was an absolute joy and a moment I'll never forget! John Cleese was unapologetically "John Cleese"and that's exactly what you'd expect and want! The show was more of an intimate "Evening With"filled with nostalgia and laughs. The only reason I gave 4 Stars is because the poster you receive as apart of the VIP 1 Package was sadly unsigned. Loved getting a photo with Mr. Cleese, but having an autograph to match the meet n greet would have only enhanced the moment.
Seeing and hearing from John Cleese, in person, for the first time, was such a pleasure. As a fan of Monty Python and John Cleese TV shows and movies throughout the last, shall I admit, 50 years, it was truly an honor. Being introduced to his delightful comedic daughter, viewing clips of some of the most hilarious Python moments, learning more about the relationships between the Python members, hearing, what my kids call, ole dad jokes, and just seeing this icon owning the stage at DPAC made for a nostalgic and wonder-filled event. Kudos to Mr. Cleese!
Just as brilliant as he was 30 yrs ago! The show was a delightful experience of stand-up, reminiscing, a Q&A session and video clips from the past. His daughter Camille opened for him and she was hilarious as well!
Enjoyed the evening with John Cleese. Not knowing what to expect going in, it was a good show. He told funny anecdotes and show and film clips. The second half of the show he answered audience question. I'm happy we got to see him. The venue was Great, second time going there for a show. Nice area and easy parking.
We had a great time hearing stories and celebrating the wisdom on the late John Cleese. If you like Monty Python and that ilk, you should get a ticket and see John before he passes on and stops visiting us from the beyond.
John Cleese is still funny even at 84! The Photo Op was excellent. He took time to chat with each and every person. A wonderful evening!
If you enjoy John Cleese's characters in Python or movies, you'll find in this show that the man is not far removed from the characters. A rebellious irreverence tempered by a smidge of compassion is evident in his storytelling. If I had any complaint, it is that his time on stage passes too quickly. But I smiled from the time he walked on to the time he walked off the stage.
We really enjoyed the show. I grew up with John Cleese so I really enjoyed his stories.
John Cleese provided a great evening of laughs interweaving film clips and recollections. He also provided a master class on the subject of what makes something funny. The Akron Civic Theater is a beautiful facility I would love to visit again.
LOVED IT! If you're a fan of Monty Python or Cleese this is a must-see! Especially loved the second act when he answers the audience's questions; the old stories he told were hilarious! At 84, he is still such a quick wit. A very fun night!
