Eric Idle: Idle in Provence

Get ready for an evening of laughter, storytelling, and unmistakably British wit as Eric Idle returns to the stage this September to celebrate his brand-new memoir, 'Idle in Provence'Join legendary comedian, writer, and Monty Python icon Eric Idle for a special live event marking the release of his wonderfully funny and deeply personal new book, Idle in Provence.Best known as a founding member of Monty Python and the co-creator of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Idle has spent decades redefining comedy - from classic films like Monty Python and the Holy Grail to the irreverent brilliance of Monty Python’s Life of Brian. Now, he invites audiences into a different kind of adventure.In 1971, at the height of Monty Python’s global success, Idle escaped the chaos by purchasing a crumbling farmhouse in the south of France. What followed was not quite the peaceful idyll he imagined - but something far richer.Idle in Provence is a riotous, moving memoir spanning fifty years of mishaps, friendships, heartbreak, and hilarity. Think A Year in Provence, but with more absurdity, more setbacks, and, naturally, much more spam.At this exclusive event, Eric Idle will share stories from his life on and off stage, reflect on his extraordinary career, and bring to life the unforgettable characters and moments behind his Provençal escape. Expect sharp wit, candid reflections, and plenty of laughs along the way.What to expect: An evening in conversation with Eric IdleReadings and stories from Idle in Provence
