British comedy

Remember Monty Python’s “The Funniest Joke in the World”?

"Some people think life is a tragedy and we are all going to die, and some people think life is a comedy. I belong to the second group," John Cleese tells me from the other end of the telephone line.

Legendary English comedic actor, screenwriter and producer John Cleese will be visiting Athens to perform at the Odeon of Herod Atticus. His performance, called "Last Time to See Me Before I Die," is part of his ongoing European tour.

British comedian Terry Jones will attend this year's Sofia International Film Festival, starting March 5 in Bulgaria's capital Sofia.

Over the course of the past 19 years, the audience of the festival has had the opportunity to get to know better not only the Monty Python movies, but also the creative teams behind the scenes.
