On his show, which comes to Tucson Music Hall on Saturday, October 16, Cleese will deliver a speech that looks at everything that has happened in recent years through the prism of his signature black humor. For example, on the 100th anniversary of the First World War, in which his father fought, those who commemorate the occasion with the appropriate pomp and circumstance could not say what sparked the war.

“I think nine times more people were killed than in World War II, but they still don’t know what it started with,” he said, and burst out laughing.

He also sees the irony in a New York doctors strike in the 1970s that lasted two months, during which time the death rate fell.

“I think that’s hilarious,” he said. “Get the doctors out of there and everyone will live longer. It’s just extraordinarily funny. “

After speaking out on the world’s hopelessness, Cleese will put the audience in the spotlight and invite them to ask him questions. Any questions. The rougher and rougher the better, he advised.

His daughter Camilla Cleese, comedian and writer like her father, will collect the questions.

“She’s really funny,” said the proud papa. “Very naughty and terribly rude to me; It’s outrageous how rude she is. “
