AKRON, Ohio -- "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is one of the funniest and most quotable movies ever made. John Cleese is a comedy legend.

Fans in Akron will be able to experience both in the flesh

wound

December 10 at the Civic at 7:30 p.m.

Cleese, who co-founded the "Monty Python" comedy troupe in 1969, will take the stage for an evening of conversation and Q&A following a screening of "Holy Grail."

"Find out the air-speed of an unladen swallow!" posters for the event tease. Fans will also be invited to ask Cleese about his role in the film as Sir Lancelot and his

perilous

storied career, though only "absurd and/or ridiculous questions" will be accepted, promoters say.

We can assume there will be no farting in your general direction.

Tickets start at $79 and go on sale September 23 in person at the Civic box office, 182 S. Main St., online at

or by phone at (330) 253-2488. VIP packages that include a photo op with Cleese will also be available.
