We’ve been hearing a lot about @johncleese and @ericidle with @soanyway and @notthemessiah. What’s Terry Jones been up to?

Python Process Class Redux…

…Chicago-area comedy fans may be interested to hear that I will be coming to the iO Chicago for what may be an annual event: my Python Process writing class. The official announcement should be coming soon, but the last one filled up awfully quickly, and I want everyone who has been following this to get a fair shot at it. It’s going to be fun for fans of Python, comedy, and you’ll hopefully even learn something about how the Pythons managed to create all of their great material through rewriting and collaboration. I really enjoy teaching this class, as it’s a great way to combine my two loves–Monty Python and improvisational comedy. Michael McCarthy has done an amazing job putting together the writing program at the iO Chicago, and I’m delighted to be a part of it!

John Cleese, Morning Joe

Scene after MSNBC’s Morning Joe:

Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post walking past us in the hallway.

Howard: Eugene Robinson! Your paper did the best review yet of John’s new book So, Anyway…

John: (pulling out wallet and shoving a few bills at him) Could you pass these along to the book critic and let him know I really appreciated it?

Robinson: I’m a journalist. Do you really think I’d pass along the money?

Cleesehead Central

This is the week! So, Anyway… is being released in North America on Tuesday, so keep your eyes peeled for lots of John Cleese in print, radio, television and the web–particularly the latter, where I’ll be posting and tweeting along the journey with John as he talks, and talks, and talks about his new autobiography. This will be the place to be, starting with Tuesday’s Barnes and Noble signing at 555 Fifth Avenue from 12:30 to 2 pm. And Tuesday evening, there’s a New York Times “Times Talks” event at The New School, 66 West 12th Street at 7:30 pm.

Then, Wednesday morning, be sure to watch Morning Joe on MSNBC. Lots of #johncleese and #soanyway this week–and if you don’t live in New York, don’t worry–he’s going to be doing a lot of traveling. And, I’ll be with him all the way, giving you all the latest updates!
