I live in Davis, where you’re giving the show tonight. I’m not coming, though, because, well, I’m cheap.
Anyway, thank you for posting the video. I have a question. Re: what you say about comedy being a “technical process”, not a “romp”: aren’t there exceptions? I’ve read that Billy Connolly, for example, never preps. He just walks out on stage and starts talking.
That might be depressing for some comedians, to say the least! And he may be the only one who can do it with any degree of success. But, point being that it is humanly possible (however unusual) to wing it all and have it be spectacular? Agree/disagree?
Thanks for your work. I have enjoyed it very much.
It has come to my attention that you will be making an appearance here in San Diego later this month. My beautiful wife (a former Miss India contestant) and I would like to give you a historical tour of San Diego – both as a gift for your birthday and out of my appreciation for your contribution to comedy (and my own entertainment as a youth). My family has resided here since the Spanish expedition of 1769 that resulted in the founding of our fair city and the very birth of California! No one can give you the perspective of America’s Finest City that I can and do provide for visiting friends and family. While I have a quarter-century history of digging on all things Pythonian, I can promise you that not only would you thoroughly enjoy seeing San Diego through my/our eyes, but that I would refrain from referring to you as Mrs. Nesbit in the future. I can be contacted through the information in my bio, and hope to hear from you soon! Happy belated birthday and warmest regards…
Ah! I´m from buenos Aires, Argentina. When you´re giving the show for this lands? I believe… never. Best wishes for your great person.
PS. My english sucks…
Wonderful news about you turning 70, and I am keen to watch this video on ants. I remember Eric and Michael (right?) in the ant shop. I hope everyone is alright in your family Mr. Cleese. Happy Birthday. Love, Nathan a long time fan.
Very cool.
Thank you for the vid.
JS is looking good as always 🙂 Thanks for posting!
That’s supposed to say JC, woops
Hey John! You are going to be up in my neck of the woods tomorrow!
I can’t wait to see your show!
Enjoy your stay in Eureka/Arcata!

You so wish those three guys had been hot blonds…
John, why haven’t you called me? I’ve been waiting next to the phone for 18 years now. I’m beginning to think you don’t have any idea who I am!
You´re the best.
And a late happy birthday
Ah! I´m from buenos Aires, Argentina. When you´re giving the show for this lands? I believe… never. Best wishes for your great person.

Way, way TMI about the catheter. Otherwise, I loved the video. You look happy.
