John Cleese

We celebrated our anniversary last month.  Husband and I went to see Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which was followed by a Q & A Session with John Cleese.  We went to the Lyric Theater in Baltimore to see him.  Long story short, we had a fantastic time!  If you ever get a chance to see him, it is worth your time. 

He spoke about many things, answered audience questions, showed some of his favorite clips from his movies, and joked about so many things.  He is funny and compelling, a captivating speaker.

I think the favorite story he told was about how George Harrison funded Life of Brian.  No movie studio would touch it.  They didn't think it was funny or worth their time.  (At this point, Cleese reiterated that Life of Brian has been named one of the top 10 funniest films of all time.)  The movie was funded when George Harrison read the script.  He laughed so hard while he was reading it that he fell out of bed.  He funded the movie because he wanted to actually see it on the screen.

John Cleese, right.

Husband and I have been married for 28 years.  I hope we get at least 28 more!
