John Cleese is retiring from performing.
He’ll write a book about the history of comedy and hold classes on comedy for the younger generation.
Cleese made the decision because: "I could never do better than Fawlty Towers, whatever I do."
And Cleese’s doctors have banned him from doing the Silly Walk.
"I can't do it because I've had a hip replacement - probably because I did so much of it.”
It's a shame - but he hasn't been very funny lately.
ReplyDeleteBest to quit while you're ahead. Pity Mick Jagger didn't do the same.
Gotta admit the truth of that.
