How to get Eric Idle tickets for Monty Python star's new UK tour
After a successful tour in Australia and New Zealand, Eric Idle is bringing his Always Look on the Bright Side of Life show to the UK.
Ahead of Monty Python and the Holy Grail's – a comedy/adventure movie starring John Cleese, Terry Jones and Eric Idle – 50th anniversary, Idle has announced he's bringing his one-man show to the UK, after a hugely successful Australia and New Zealand tour.
The brilliant one-man musical sees Idle joined by The Virtual Band to bring audiences an evening of singalongs, reminiscences, rare footage, and humour.
As Idle has been in show business since 1963, you can expect a brilliant show from a seasoned professional. Although, when Idle himself talks about his long career, he said: "Unfortunately, I can’t find the exit. My role in life seems to be cheering people up!"
You might remember that Idle's last solo performance in the UK saw him perform at the 2012 Olympic Games closing ceremony, where he led a crowd of 80,000 people in a singalong of Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, while being surrounded by Morris dancers, a choir of rugby players, and skating nuns.
In 2014, Idle reunited with his Monty Python co-stars for Monty Python Live (Mostly), which ended up being a sold-out, 10-night run at the O2, which Idle wrote and directed.
