John Cleese

While he is decades past the “Ministry of Silly Walks,” international funny man John Cleese — co-creator of Monty Python’s Flying Circus comedy troupe and Fawlty Towers — hasn’t lost his sense of humor. Indeed, it’s become even more acerbic with age, especially when he considers society and government in its current form. His current lecture, “Why There is No Hope,” will be followed by an audience Q&A that Cleese himself says is always the highlight of the evening. (Tip: The rudest questions often elicit the funniest response.)
