John Cleese

John Cleese at Tennessee Theatre

John Cleese co-founded Monty Python, changed comedy, and helped define a distinctive comic voice. He brings a theatrical screening of Monty Python and the Holy Grail to Tennessee Theatre in Knoxville on Saturday, March 13, 2027, at 7:30 PM, followed by a live conversation and audience Q&A. If Python sketches shaped your sense of humor, here's your chance to spend an evening with one of the people who wrote them.

The screening puts the film back on a theater screen, but the conversation afterward gives you the reason to attend. Cleese will share behind-the-scenes stories from the making of the film, answer audience questions, and offer observations on a career spent writing absurdist comedy. The conversation offers another way to revisit the comedy beyond the film itself. The appeal is hearing Cleese talk about his work in his own words, in real time.

A Saturday night gives you time to turn this into an occasion. Invite the friend who introduced you to Python. A partner who appreciates comedy that refuses to make sense. Someone whose idea of a good evening includes coconuts, knights, and a willingness to shout "Ni!" at inappropriate moments. Choosing the show together gives you something specific to look forward to and a reason to celebrate comedy that still holds up.

Let your love of Python make the decision. Check ticket options for John Cleese in Knoxville and plan a night with someone who shares your sense of humor.
