ONLY comedy legend John Cleese could delay the end of the Ageas Salisbury Arts Festival.
The Monty Python and Fawlty Towers star had audiences in fits of laughter when he appeared at Salisbury Playhouse last Wednesday. He had been due to appear on June 6.
Over the course of the evening he spoke about his early life growing up and the influence his mother and father had on his later life.
He also read out some hilarious sections from his best-selling autobiography So, Anyway, including a story about a very unfortunate, and feisty rabbit.
Cleese has enjoyed more than 40 years in the spotlight on both stage and screen — appearing in A Fish Called Wanda and Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
The event attracted a good turnout and audience members were given the chance to ask questions at the end.
