But like I say, on average, 80% of the sakes are made in the first week.

 

Maybe at 82 folks just want to wait until closer to the show to make sure that he lives that long!

Well he “was” cancelled. Sort of ironic for a community like Victoria to reward him with sold out shows, no?

He was, but was it that widely publicized?  Lots of 50+ers do not even follow that stuff.

He has performed in the city several times in recent years, with each date selling out by showtime. His standup performance in May is expected to hit full capacity before (this) week is out, so act quickly as tickets are now on sale.

 

Prices start at $106.50, with the option for a VIP experience set at $327.

Having been just a young(ish) tadpole when Python, Monty hit these shores on PBS in the early 70's I'm as big a fan of the show and its masterful ensemble as anyone; I've seen Spamalot twice and would love to see Cleese before he expires but frankly was not sure how badly I wanted to see the 82 year old version of him at those prices especially with Christmas and the expenses therein currently in full steam ahead mode....

 

Nevertheless its too bad it was cancelled because we were strongly considering buying tickets since you never know when he's going to join that Norwegian Blue parrot singing in the Choir Invisible.....

It’s been cancelled!?

Got to see Cleese and Idle in Vegas about five years back, gut achingly funny. I imagine he’s still got it.

Historically Idle was kind of the outlier of the group scripting much the Python material on his own, while Cleese and Chapman formed one informal (writing) team back in the day, and Terry Jones and Michael Palin did likewise. Idle wrote most of the screamingly funny song lyrics and musical ditty's in the series and for the movies.

Saw the Cleese “Why There Is No Hope” show a couple years ago that one seem to take more of a serious lecture style tone, hilarious nonetheless. I guess he has different shows. Wonderful to see the man.

Are we supposed to know any of those acts or are they announcing the headline performers at a later date?!

[spanky123]

I am thinking that the reason we are getting so many geriatric acts these days is that the artists think that if they don’t make it through their sets then Victoria would be a nice final resting place!

Darius is Hootie.

Rumor has Tinto Rocks playing a surprise, unadvertised set or two.

How about you spend less time worrying about that, and more time washing dishes.
