John Cleese is heading back to Australia for some encore shows in 2014.

The Monty Python founder made worldwide news this week with the Monty Python’s Flying Circus. At the press conference to announce their shows when asked about bringing the troupe to Australia Cleese said, “The only problem with Australia is there are planets closer than that”.

Regardless Cleese has the rocket fuelled for his solo voyage down under for Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales.
