John Cleese is to write book on what makes people laugh

Jun 12, 2006, 14:15 GMT

London - John Cleese, the British star comedian of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers, has said he wants to write a book on the history of comedy to ensure that future generations continue to see the funny side of life. In a rare interview, Cleese told the Times Monday: 'I'm too tired to write new comedy, I can never do better than Fawlty Towers whatever I do. Now I very much want to teach young talent some rules of the game.' Cleese, 66, who now lives in the US, will act as a 'comedy professor,' holding masterclasses with students. Their set text will be insights gleaned from a lifetime in the business of making people laugh. © 2006 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
