John Cleese brings his 'Not Dead Yet!' show to Montreal's L'Olympia on October 8, 2026, marking 50 years since the release of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The evening features a special screening of the beloved 1975 comedy film, followed by a live Q&A with Cleese himself.
Cleese will share behind-the-scenes tales, anecdotes and reflections on the groundbreaking comedy troupe whose anarchic, surreal style changed comedy forever. Audiences are invited to quote along to their heart's content in celebration of one of the most quotable films in cinema history.
A founding member of Monty Python, Cleese honed his craft on The Frost Report in the 1960s before co-creating the iconic sketch troupe. Post-Python, he went on to write and star in Fawlty Towers, earn an Oscar nomination for A Fish Called Wanda, and cement his status as one of Britain's greatest comic talents.
The show starts at 19:30 at L'Olympia, Montreal, QC.
