This is not an April Fools 2025 joke, we’ve been assured - the beloved Monty Python member Eric Idle is bringing his sensational international show to the UK in 2025. After a successful tour of Australia and New Zealand, Idle is bringing the Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life, Live tour to the United Kingdom for eight dates only - including performances in Liverpool, Glasgow, Birmingham and a huge performance set for London’s Royal Albert Hall. Idle’s last solo UK performance was in front of a global audience of two billion at the London 2012 Olympic Games closing ceremony; leading an 80,000-strong crowd in a sing-along of Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, he was surrounded by a lively spectacle of Morris dancers, a choir of rugby players, and even skating nuns. Two years later, in 2014, he reunited with Monty Python for Monty Python Live (Mostly)—a sold-out, ten-night run at the O2 which he wrote and directed. So where is Eric Idle performance his show in the United Kingdom in 2025; one what promises “an evening of comedy, music, philosophy… and one fart joke.” The Python member will be performing at the following venues on the following dates: Those who have access to Ticketmaster pre-sales will be available to pick up tickets from April 3 2025. General ticket sales will then commence from April 4 2025 at 10am GMT through Ticketmaster and ATG Tickets.
