Monty Python star and much-loved television globe-trotter Michael Palin has announced a brand new one-man stage show, which will bring him to Milton Keynes in June.
The tour is to celebrate the paperback publication of Erebus: The Story of A Ship, and in the first part of the show, Palin brings to life the thrilling story of the tough little ship that took on the Antarctic and the Arctic in the 1840s.
His richly illustrated talk conveys the triumph and tragedy of the ship’s short and doomed life, and what it was about it that made him so keen to tell its story.
In the second half, Michael will tell his own life story, including how his three favourite subjects at school (Geography, History and Comedy) have shaped his life, from ‘Monty Python’ to ‘Ripping Yarns’ and the many television travel series that have taken him all around the world, from the North Pole to North Korea.
With previously unseen footage and previously untold stories, Michael will show how comedy and adventure have been natural bedfellows during a rich and diverse career.
Tickets will sell fast for this show, on Friday, June 21.
They go on sale tomorrow (Friday). Click here for yours.
