Living comedy legend, John Cleese, is heading to San Francisco for a live and truly unforgettable evening of conversation and audience Q&A on Thursday, March 29, 2018 at the SHN Orpheum 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 are $75, $125 and $200 and go on sale to the public on Friday, December 8 at 10am PT at shnsf.com or by calling SHN Audience Services at 888-746-1799.
