Bob Odenkirk has come a long way since the days when we used to improvise together under the tutelage of Del Close. In addition to Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Fargo, Mr. Show, and a whole slew of other credits, he has agreed to interview John Cleese on November 20th in San Diego, where John will be promoting his autobiography, So Anyway… If I were you, and I was anywhere in that neck of the woods at that time, I’d get my tickets now…

Cleese in Seattle
And as promised, here’s the link to the info on John’s appearance in Seattle on Sunday, November 16th, to promote his upcoming autobiography So Anyway... I may be wrong, but this could be John’s first-ever appearance in Seattle. Either way, if I were you, I wouldn’t miss it.

I’m hoping to have the Canadian tour info soon!
Cleese in the Middle…
…of the U.S. I started posting John’s U.S. events for his promotional tour for So Anyway… (his upcoming autobiography). Yesterday I revealed the events for New York, Washington DC and Boston, today, it’s Chicago and Kansas City.
November 11: John will be appearing that evening at the Tivoli Theatre in Downers Grove, IL, just outside of Chicago, through the courtesy of Anderson’s Books.
November 12: John will be in Kansas City at 6 pm (more info here.)
And more info in the west coast events coming soon!
Cleese Invasion: East Coast Edition…
As I mentioned earlier, John Cleese is indeed touring North America and Europe soon to promote the release of his upcoming biography So Anyway… As a part of that, he’ll be doing a lot of bookstore events where you can see him with your own eyes…
Nov. 4 he’ll be at the Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue in New York City at 12:30 pm.
That same evening, Nov. 4, he’ll be doing a TimesTalk in NYC, for which you can buy tickets here.
At 8 pm the next evening, Nov. 5, he’ll be interviewed at the BAM Harvey Theatre by John Hodgman, tickets available here.
Nov. 6 at 7 pm in Washington DC, he’ll be interviewed by NPR’s Scott Simon; tickets are sold out but you can apparently get on a wait list here.
Nov. 7 at 6:30 pm, he’ll be at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum for another talk, with tickets available here.
I’ll post more with his Midwest schedule, hopefully tomorrow.
A word to the wise: many of these are likely to sell out; the Washington DC event already has. If you’re hoping to get to any of them, best get your tickets now! If they look a little pricey, it may be because most include a complimentary copy of So Anyway… with ’em.
Book it! …
I’ve been busy for a little while now helping my old boss research the first volume of his upcoming autobiography. I haven’t written about it yet because, well, frankly, it was still being written. But now, to the best of my knowledge, the manuscript has been turned in, and the countdown to publication has started. Don’t worry, I’ll be giving you a few reminders before it comes out, but in the mean time–what do you think of the cover?
