UK:John Cleese to embark on tour celebrating Holy Grail

Comedic great John Cleese is to embark on a UK tour celebrating more than 50 years since the release of Monty Python And The Holy Grail.

The 86-year-old will host a 45-minute Q and A session with fans after a screening of the 1975 film introduced by the star.

"I'm delighted to be celebrating more than 50 years of Holy Grail with these incredible live events around the country, mainly because I genuinely never expected either the film or myself to last this long," Cleese said

The sessions will see Cleese reflect on the making of the film and its legacy, with fans able to ask their own questions.

The tour will begin at Basingstoke Anvil Arts on September 1 and run until its final show at Leeds Grand Theatre on September 22, stopping at Manchester, Newcastle and Birmingham, with tickets priced at £39.50 ($A75).
