Not Dead Yet! How Monty Python's John Cleese is celebrating The Holy Grail' at 50

"John Cleese comes on the line to chat about his Not Dead Yet! tour, which comes to Southern California to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Monty Python and Holy Grail, but before we can ask our first question, he's got one for us. I'm wanting to know if I've offended Anaheim, Cleese says in a voice instantly recognizable to anyone who ever watched an episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus or saw The Holy Grail or any of the Python troupe's other films."

"It seems the show is close to selling out in San Diego, Thousand Oaks and other stops around the country through October. But his San Jose performance at the San Jose Civic on Sunday, Sept. 14? Not yet."
