Eric Idle

Eric Idle is bringing his new show to the Brighton Centre

ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE, LIVE!
contains everything including Comedy, Music, Philosophy and one fart joke. 

A rare survivor of pancreatic cancer, he sings, ironically, “this may be the last time you see me” in an evening of rude songs, some singalongs, inappropriate remarks, reminiscences of fame, fortune and rare footage, plus a Virtual Band and surprise guests.

In this one man musical, Eric, accompanied by The Virtual Band, a sort of Infinite Monkees Cage band, bids a fond farewell to old friends like George Harrison, Robin Williams and Neil Innes with rare footage from and a salute to The Rutles. The Beatles parody movie he created, which was the world’s first ever mockumentary about the legendary pre-fab four, Dirk, Nasty, Stig and Barry.

A legend in his own lunchtime, he reveals how he accidentally fell into comedy in 1963 and has been unable to climb out ever since.  

He has been in show business since 1963. “Unfortunately, I can’t find the exit” he says. 
“My role in life seems to be cheering people up,” he adds glumly.
