Michael Palin: There and back

Comedy legend comes to North Finchley

Venue: artsdepot, 5 Nether Street, Tally Ho Corner, North Finchley N12 0GA

Date/time: Saturday, September 14

Info: Join the best-selling author and comedy legend as he publishes the latest volume in his adventure-filled journals.

10 years since his last published journal, Michael unlocks volume four of his life and times from 1999 to 2009.

As the centuries change and Michael moves into middle age, he is busier than ever. In this new show, with the help of rarely seen photos and videos, Michael brings these memorable times to life as he talks through this last Diary to take us behind the scenes of this most productive decade of his life, while always, in background, it shows us the wider world, one with infinite possibilities and new and unimagined dangers.
