About

Monty Python's Sir Michael Palin announces There And Back – The Diary Tour 2024

Michael Palin has written and starred in numerous TV programmes and films, from Monty Python and Ripping Yarns to The Missionary and The Death of Stalin. He has also made several much-acclaimed travel documentaries, his journeys taking him to the North and South Poles, the Sahara Desert, the Himalayas, Eastern Europe and Brazil. His books include accounts of his journeys, novels (Hemingway’s Chair and The Truth) and several volumes of diaries.

Previous solo theatre shows include The Thirty Years Tour (2015) and Erebus, Python and Other Stories (2019). From 2009 to 2012 he was president of the Royal Geographical Society, and in 2013 he was made a BAFTA fellow. Michael was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George in the 2019 New Year Honours’ List.

In 2022, Michael Palin brought tales of two of the most extraordinary journeys he’s ever made to the stage in a solo tour, From North Korea Into Iraq.

In 2024, Palin announced a 13-date UK tour, bringing his forthcoming diary There And Back (published by Orion on 26 September) to the live stage. Ten years since his last published diary, Michael unlocks volume four of his life and times, from 1999 to 2009. As the centuries change and Michael heads into middle age, he’s busier than ever. In this new show, with the help of rarely seen photos and video, Michael brings these momentous times to life as he talks through this latest Diary to take us backstage on this most productive decade of his life, whilst always, in the background, showing us the wider world, one of infinite possibilities and new and unimagined dangers.

  • It almost went so well....

    The event was interesting, but because the staging was set up very poorly, i.e. a lectern on the left hand side of the stage, which was completely out of the view of half of the audience upstairs! It meant that you just heard a voice on stage, but were unable to see the actual speaker!

  • Fantastic Night

  • A very engaging performance

    A wonderful evening with a man who would be the perfect dinner party guest. An excellent raconteur who peppered his talk with anecdotes and clips from his Python days, Ripping Yarns, travel series and film appearances. Readings from his newly published volume of diaries gave an insight to the Michael Palin we don't see and revealed that what we do see in public is what you get. I could have listened all night.

  • A fantastic evening with a remarkable man

    by Simon on 09/10/2024Pavilion Theatre Glasgow - GlasgowRating: 5 out of 5

    A joyful evening of Python, personal and travel tales from a genuine and inspirational man. Always loved everything MP has done and this small opportunity to hear and see him tell us about his remarkable life was a privilege Witty, insightful and kind . He got a heartfelt standing ovation at the end of the evening - richly deserved. Fabulous evening

  • Fantastic life affirming evening

    What a special evening it was spending time with the wonderful Michael Palin. His diaries are a testament to a life well lived and are full of fun. The evening was so entertaining and we left surrounded by a warm glow that just radiates from this lovely man.
