Not Dead Yet! — John Cleese and the Holy Grail at 50

Sunday, October 05, 2025 @ 7:30pm



State Theatre New Jersey
15 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ 08901

An unmissable night of absurdity, laughter, and legendary comedy!

All Premium Seats receive an exclusive tour poster!

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating 50 years of Monty Python and the Holy Grail with the one and only John Cleese! This once-in-a-lifetime event features a special screening of the beloved cult classic, followed by an uproarious conversation and audience Q&A with Cleese himself, where he’ll share behind-the-scenes stories, wit, and wisdom—assuming he remembers any of it.

Gather your fellow knights, dust off your coconuts, and prepare for an evening of irreverent humor and unparalleled comedy history. Secure your tickets now—before Cleese really is dead!

VIP Ticket Holders will also gain exclusive access to a special post-show photo op with Mr. Cleese—because some people are more important than others.

**Coconuts not included in ticket price.
