John Cleese, one of the comedic geniuses behind "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," "The Life of Brian" and many more, will take the Riverside stage for a special night of laughs and lively conversation on Saturday, Oct. 7. 

The evening will open with a special screening of the classic comedy "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," shown in its entirety. After the film, Cleese will silly-walk onto the stage to tell stories from his iconic career in comedy and answer questions from the audience – through absurd and/or ridiculous inquiries only.

Tickets for the show will go on sale beginning Friday, June 9, at noon. For more information, visit the Riverside's website – or Camelot. On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. 'Tis a silly place.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
