Michael Palin announces Australian tour

Iconic actor, author, TV presenter and probably the nicest Python, Michael Palin will visit Australia in 2015 with his spoken word show Michael Palin – Live on Stage.

Iconic actor, author, TV presenter and probably the nicest Python, Michael Palin will visit Australia in 2015 with his spoken word show Michael Palin – Live on Stage. On his whistle-stop world tour, Palin will promote the third volume of his diaries, Travelling to Work 1988-1998. The one-man show will traverse career highs and lows, beauties and beasts, “adventures and cock-ups,” all brought to life with photographs and footage from his extensive travels. The show’s second half will see Palin cast his mind back to his first love of comedy, which took the Sheffield lad to TV screens all over the world as 16.66% of Monty Python. The legendary troupe recently reunited for their last hurrah in Monty Python Live (Mostly), a 10-night sell-out run at London’s 02 Arena that was broadcast in cinemas and on television across the globe. Live on Stage marks Palin’s first live tour as a solo performer. Lateral Events pre-sale tickets on sale early October 2014, register on their website. General public tickets on sale Monday, October 20. Michael Palin – Live on Stage Tour Dates: Tuesday, February 17 – Auckland Thursday, February 19 – Adelaide Saturday, February 21 – Perth Wednesday, February 25 – Sydney Tuesday, March 3 – Brisbane Wednesday, March 4 – Melbourne
