“Spamalot” on Broadway isn’t the only major Monty Python show you won’t want to miss this year.
Original cast member and “Fawlty Towers” star John Cleese has lined up 24 gigs all over the “so called United States” these next few months.
The tour, which Cleese dubbed ‘An Evening with the late John Cleese,’ stops into Schenectady, NY’s Proctors Theatre on Oct. 19, Englewood, NJ’s Bergen Performing Arts Center on Oct. 21 and Morristown, NJ’s Mayo Performing Arts Center on Oct. 22.
“Don’t miss your last chance to see me before I die,” the controversial 83-year-old comic actor shared on Instagram.
“As you probably read in the papers, I died a few weeks ago,” he joked.
And if you want to make sure you catch the cheeky Cleese on what could be his final tour, it isn’t too late to grab last-minute tickets.
As of now, tickets are available for all upcoming performances where the funnyman will share the stage with his daughter Camilla.
Ticket prices start at $32 before fees on Vivid Seats at the time of publication.
