Legendary British comedian and actor John Cleese, 85, is set to return to Israel for three performances this June in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Famous as a member of Monty Python and for his roles in “Fawlty Towers” and “A Fish Called Wanda,” Cleese’s new show, “An Evening with John Cleese,” will reflect on key moments from his life and career, while also addressing current events, including local topics, Ynet reported on Wednesday.

Ticket prices range from 289 to 549 shekels (about $80-$150).

Cleese previously performed in Israel in 2019 with his show “Last Chance to See Me Before I Die.”
