Overview

Overview

John Cleese and The Holy Grail is a Film / Comedy / Comedy event at Opera House Buxton in Buxton.

Read full details

John Cleese brings the legendary comedy of Monty Python to Manchester for a special evening centered on the cult classic film *Monty Python and the Holy Grail*. Attendees can expect a unique blend of film screening and live performance, as Cleese revisits the absurd Arthurian parody that has delighted audiences since 1975.

The event captures the irreverent spirit of the original film, from the coconut-clapping squire Patsy to the dreaded Knights Who Say "Ni!" and the infamous Rabbit of Caerbannog. Fans will relish the chance to experience the iconic scenes—like the witch trial, the Bridge of Death, and the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch—in a communal setting with one of Python's founding members.

This is a rare opportunity to celebrate a cornerstone of British comedy, whose influence extends from the Tony-winning musical *Spamalot* to its enduring status as one of the greatest comedy films ever made.
