Best known as a founding member of Monty Python and the co-creator of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, Idle has spent decades redefining comedy — from classic films like Monty Python and the Holy Grail to the irreverent brilliance of Monty Python’s Life of Brian. Now, he invites audiences into a different kind of adventure.

Eric Idle: Idle in Provence

In 1971, at the height of Monty Python’s global success, Idle escaped the chaos by purchasing a crumbling farmhouse in the south of France. What followed was not quite the peaceful idyll he imagined - but something far richer.

Idle in Provence is a riotous, moving memoir spanning fifty years of mishaps, friendships, heartbreak, and hilarity.

The Lyceum Theatre in London is a long and complex tale of success, downfall and rebirth. It all started in 1772 when the Society of Arts founded a room for exhibitions and concerts near the site of the current building. Since this beginning the Lyceum Theatre has displayed a chameleon tendency, adapting to changing fashions and needs admirably.

Now home to Disney’s ‘The Lion King,’ an average 760,000 patrons enjoy the Lyceum’s hospitality every year. You’ll find the Lyceum Theatre stood grandly in the heart of London’s West End, just minutes away from Covent Garden. Buy your Lyceum tickets from the official online box office today.

Our trusted storage partner, Stasher, have hundreds of storage spots for larger items across London. Explore storage options from just 2 minutes walking distance of the theatre and get 10% off when you book with ATG.
