Exclusive Evening with John Cleese at Raffles Singapore
Few names in comedy resonate quite like John Cleese. A titan of British humour, Cleese’s career spans decades, leaving an indelible mark on television, film, and the stage. Remember Basil Fawlty, the perpetually flustered hotelier from Fawlty Towers? Or perhaps the iconic “Ministry of Silly Walks” sketch from Monty Python’s Flying Circus? These are just a taste of what you’ll enjoy during an exclusive evening with Cleese at the historic Raffles Singapore hotel.
Here, you’ll have a rare opportunity to delve deeper into Cleese’s creative process and gain insights into the mind of a master during an intimate “Audience with…” style interview. Settle into the lavish surroundings of the Raffles Singapore’s Jubilee Ballroom and uncover the genius behind characters that changed comedy and culture forever.
An evening with John Cleese is just the start of what this sensational, 20-night holiday has to offer. Set sail on the Celebrity Solstice®, and embrace a hotel stay in Singapore on this one-of-a-kind experience!
