John Cleese

John Cleese at The Factory - Chesterfield

Some movies belong to you the way old songs do. You know the lines, you remember who quoted them first, and you can still hear the laugh of the friend who made you watch. On March 11, 2027, at The Factory in Chesterfield, Monty Python and the Holy Grail gets the kind of night a favorite film rarely gets: a screening paired with John Cleese in person.

This is not a conventional new stand-up set, and it is not a Monty Python cast reunion. That clarity is part of the appeal. You are buying a film you may already love, plus a live conversation with Monty Python co-founder John Cleese. Seeing the work and then hearing from one of the people behind it can turn a familiar comedy into something fresher, more personal, and more memorable than watching alone on a couch.

Then comes the audience Q&A. Curiosity is a powerful reason to leave the house, and this format invites it. No one can promise that a particular attendee will get a question answered, and there are no VIP perks included. What you do get is a shared room, a live voice, and a chance to hear what happens when a comedy landmark meets the person who helped create it. It also makes an easy plan for a St. Louis-area night out with a friend, a partner, or the one person who always knows the next line. Start at 7:30 PM, and make it a night worth talking about on the drive home. View tickets for John Cleese at The Factory and save your place in the room.
