His unique brand of black humour has made him a global icon and intergalactic treasure.<\/p>\n<p>At the age of eighty five, John Cleese sets off on what might be his final European tour &#8211; five countries, sixteen cities, twenty-three shows, and retaining just two original body parts. \u201cJohn Cleese Packs It In\u201d is a wry, behind-the-scenes portrait of a comedy legend on the road, battling various ailments, chaotic travel, and his own stubborn refusal to stop.<\/p>\n<p>Spanning six weeks on the road, the film captures Cleese unfiltered and on the move &#8211; riffing on life, fame, and the absurdity of getting old in front of thousands of fans. As he reflects on a stage career that began in 1963, the question lingers: is this the end of the road?<\/p>\n<p>With unique and intimate access and showing unexpected tenderness, this is a documentary about legacy, laughter, and the dignity of bowing out\u2026 however reluctantly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the official trailer below<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8245,"template":"","categories":[18],"event_type":[29],"genre":[28],"class_list":["post-8241","events","type-events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-live-screen-events","event_type-on-screen","genre-live-screen-events"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thecapitolhorsham.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events\/8241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thecapitolhorsham.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thecapitolhorsham.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/events"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thecapitolhorsham.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thecapitolhorsham.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thecapitolhorsham.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8241"},{"taxonomy":"event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thecapitolhorsham.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type?post=8241"},{"taxonomy":"genre","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thecapitolhorsham.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/genre?post=8241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
