Michael Palin | On A Roll Theatre & Performing Arts

michael_palin__on_a_roll


Unburied National Treasure John Lloyd launches a new conversation series, On A Roll, at the Gillian Lynne Theatre

On A Roll is an easy-going programme of Monday night events in central London, where format is intentionally simple: no interval and no gimmicksIt is a collaboration between producer John Lloyd CBE (the force behind QI, Blackadder, Spitting Image and Radio 4’s The Museum of Curiosity) and Clive Conway ProductionsAfter a career spent working with some of the most interesting people in the country, John felt it was time to provide a stage for the sort of heart-to-heart chats that usually only happen in private or in the corner of a quiet pub

Behind the scenes and off the leash, it is a rare chance to see Michael Palin, live and unedited, gently excavated by John Lloyd

‘Everyone agrees Mike is the nicest person in showbiz, but he’s always insisted to me that he has a dark sideJoin me in my futile mission to find out what it is’

Palin remains one of our most gifted observers of the human conditionHis career has been defined by a quiet, persistent curiosity about the world and his place in itHear him reflect not just on where he has been, but on the strange, often hilarious business of being Michael Palin
