Overview
Eric Idle, star of stage, screen and crossword puzzle, has often been compared to Noel Coward. But never favourably. He has been in show business since 1961. “Unfortunately, I can’t find the exit” he says. “My role in life seems to be cheering people up,” he adds glumly.
His new show, Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, Live! is a nostalgic one man musical and contains everything including comedy, music, philosophy and one fart joke.
He has written several novels and plays, and he was in several movies, but he forgets which. Oh, and he was in Monty Python.
On his last visit to Australia he performed a sold out show at the State Theatre Sydney with Shaun Micallef in November 2022 and closed the Just for Laughs Festival that year singing his theme song with all the comedians at the Opera House.
