John Cleese is set to celebrate Monty Python and The Holy Grail at a Q and A show announced for Watford Colosseum.

The 86-year-old will host a 45-minute session with fans after a screening of the 1975 film introduced by the star at the Rickmansworth Road venue on September 14.

Cleese said: “I’m delighted to be celebrating more than 50 years of Holy Grail with these incredible live events around the country, mainly because I genuinely never expected either the film or myself to last this long.”
