John Cleese Set for 'HOLY GRAIL' Event at Playhouse Square's State Theatre

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 Wednesday, September 27th at the State Theatre. 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 $59 and go on-sale Friday, June 9th at 11am at playhousesquare.org, 216-241-6000 or at the Playhouse Square Ticket Office. ***

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.

Don't miss your chance to see the man who has achieved nothing short of comedy royalty in this thrill-of-a lifetime evening. Produced by The Backlot Project.
