Living comedy legend, JOHN CLEESE, is heading in your general direction for a live and truly unforgettable evening of conversation and audience Q&A on **July 22 at [Kings Theatre](http://www.kingstheatre.com/calendar/john-cleese-with-monty-python-the-holy-grail/?ref=bklyner.com)**. Absurd and/or ridiculous questions only, please. A limited number of VIP tickets will be available which include a photo opportunity with John. Tickets start at **$45 (plus applicable service fees)** and are on-sale **now through [Ticketmaster](http://bit.ly/2I1v6lj?ref=bklyner.com) and the [Kings Theatre box office](http://www.kingstheatre.com/tickets/box-office/?ref=bklyner.com) (Mon – Sat, noon – 5:30pm)**.\*\*\*

John will tell stories of his life and career and you just may finally find out the air-speed of an unladen swallow. Before John silly walks his way on to the stage, the excitement will build as the audience will get to watch *Monty Python and the Holy* *Grail* in its entirety on the big screen.

**About John Cleese**

On the small screen, John Cleese is known for his work on programs such as *Cheers*, *3rd Rock from the Sun*, *Will & Grace*, and the Emmy®-nominated TLC documentary *The Human Face with John Cleese*. His film credits include *Silverado*, *The Out-of-Towners*, *Rat Race* and Kenneth Branagh’s *Frankenstein*. He also co-authored two best-selling books on psychology – *Families and How to Survive Them* and *Life and How to Survive It* – and served briefly as Minister of Defense in the John Major Cabinet. He recently completed his autobiography *So, Anyway…* which was described by the Daily Mail as “self-obsessed.” In his twilight years, John passes his time writing film scripts, giving speeches to business audiences, doing seminars on creativity, teaching at Cornell, paying alimony, and doting on three huge cats and a fish.

**About the Kings Theatre**

The historic [Kings Theatre](http://www.kingstheatre.com/?ref=bklyner.com) reopened its doors in 2015 as Brooklyn’s premiere performing arts venue. Providing a destination for large-scale popular entertainment and serving as a resource for local arts groups and community organizations, the City-owned Theatre is a cultural and economic cornerstone of the Flatbush community and a major fixture to Brooklyn’s vibrant cultural landscape. The [Kings Theatre](/crown-heights-drive-by/) was originally designed by Rapp & Rapp in 1929 and was one of the five Loew’s ‘Wonder Theatres’ built in New York and New Jersey during that period. Featuring high curved ceilings, ornate plaster walls, wood paneling, and a glazed terra-cotta ornamental façade, the classic 20th-century movie palace was inspired by the French Renaissance Revival style of the Palace of Versailles and the Paris Opera House. The redevelopment project both revived the historic structure’s original splendor and transformed the Theatre into a state-of-the-art facility with over 3,000 seats—the largest of its kind in Brooklyn. The Theatre was selected as a recipient of the 2014 New York State Historic Preservation Award for excellence in preservation and revitalization, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012\. Kings Theatre is operated by The Ambassador Theatre Group.
