Chicago – John Cleese, the tallest member of “Monty Python’s Flying Circus,” has written a new book, and came to the Chicago suburbs to promote it. Anderson’s Bookshop sponsored Cleese’s appearance at the Tivoli Theater in Downer’s Grove for his memoir “So, Anyway.”
The 75-year-old comic legend has a long show business career. After graduating from Cambridge University in the early 1960s, he was part of the “Cambridge Circus” revue that eventually played Off-Broadway and on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1964. He met his future Monty Python co-writer Graham Chapman while writing for BBC radio and “The Frost Report” (starring David Frost).
