Presented by University of Virginia Division of Perceptual Studies

In a special engagement with UVA Division of Perceptual Studies, meet the man behind Monty Python in a once-in-a-lifetime evening. John Cleese, known for his comical performances and stellar stand-up incorporating physical comedy, is bringing his perception and shticks to Tom Tom with thanks to DOPS.

Just who is John Cleese and who does he think he is? He is still figuring that riddle out, too. Join us at the Tom Tom Founders Summit (April 11-14) to answer some riddles and be a part of something truly magical. John Cleese will grace us with his presence not just one night, but two: on April 11th, at The Paramount Theater, he will command the stage and put on a one-man show. This stand-up performance is sure to be a once-in-a-lifetime event, not to be missed by anyone. On April 12th, he will moderate a talk with DOPS researchers.

Learn to walk, talk, and think with John Cleese in a special evening performance.

The event is included with an All-Access or Patron Badge, which can be purchased at: http://tomtomfest.com/tickets/. A limited number of individual tickets for the event will be available for purchase soon through The Paramount Theater of Charlottesville at: http://www.theparamount.net/
