Göteborgs Konserthus Eric Idle – Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, LIVE!

Information from Julius Production:

After a successful tour of England, the USA, Australia and New Zealand, Eric Idle will take his new one-man show to Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Estonia in April and May 2026.

As a rare pancreatic cancer survivor, he ironically sings “this may be the last time you see me” in an evening filled with daring couplets, sing-alongs, inappropriate comments, memories of fame and fortune as well as rare film footage and a virtual band.

In this one-man show, Eric Idle, accompanied by The Virtual Band – a kind of Infinite Monkees Cage band – bids a warm farewell to old friends such as George Harrison, Robin Williams and Neil Innes with unique footage and a tribute to The Rutles, the Beatles parody Eric Idle created that was the world’s first mockumentary about “the pre-fab four Dirk, Nasty, Stig and Barry”.

The show also reveals how he accidentally ended up in the comedy in 1963 and has not been able to get out of it since. “Unfortunately, I can’t find the exit,” says Eric Idle. “My role in life seems to be cheering people up,” he adds gloomily.

Eric Idle – a star known from stage, TV and crossword puzzles, has often been compared to Noël Coward.

But never in a flattering way.

Now he takes to the stage in selected cities around Scandinavia and Estonia and despite all the references, gimmicks and both painfully honest and insanely entertaining stories, the foundation of Eric Idle’s one-man show is just: Always look on the bright side of life!
