Arguably the most popular and influential film made by the group is \u201cMonty Python\u2019s Life of Brian\u201d from 1979. It\u2019s also somewhat of a musical, and while the theme of the film might be satirical in nature, the song made timeless in the film is one that is hard to forget, even if you don\u2019t know the lyrics. That song is \u201cAlways Look on the Bright Side of Life\u201d, and is the title of this comedy tour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Eric Idle<\/b>, of the original cast, is coming to Tallinn on 20 April\u2014by American date standards this would be 4.20\u2014to perform a solo comedy show in Alexela Concert Hall. Expect more songs you can\u2019t get out of your head, \u201cinappropriate wisdom\u201d, and naturally the wittiest humour one can imagine. This one-man show has been met with huge success in the UK and Oceania, and now it\u2019s coming to Scandinavia and Estonia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The performance will also include one fart joke.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Eric Idle, 82, is an English actor, comedian, songwriter, musician, screenwriter, and playwright.
