The Lemurs
Well, we Lemurs are pleased to announce that we have reached the end of the New Zealand tour "John Cleese, His Life, Times and Current Medical Problems". We watched from the cheap seats as the Boss did 22 shows, and he nearly got us all killed TWICE in small plane crashes on the Invercargill (first) and New Plymouth (the last) stops. Thanks heavens for the overhead bins - they do make a great hiding place. And we thought it was just Rock Stars and small planes that didn't go together!
