Going to see John Cleese... 

Cleese was brilliant!

A mix of family history, Python, Fawlty, etc.

Bizarrely my spell checker changes 'Cleese' to 'Cheese' which is his real family name - his Dad changed it to Cleese when he joined up for WW1 as he was tired of the piss-taking!

I got his autobiography a few years back and found it a dull read and thought at the time he'd be far better recanting the tales live.

I'm glad we went...

He is obviously his #1 fan! 

He read practically the whole thing from multiple, huge autocues in the auditorium but still sounded very natural.

No photography or videography was allowed which is normally a cue for Cypriots to get their phones out and start filming...

However, the theatre enforced it by blasting lasers at anybody that got their phone out! 

This is the enly picture I took before he came on...
