Rowan Atkinson meanwhile was on hand to perform one of his classic one-man sketches, “And Now From Nazareth, The Amazing...”, appearing as a vicar reading from the Book of John and telling the story of Jesus and the Feeding of the Five Thousand with the result that everyone wants to book the Christ for party entertainment.
Throughout it all, however, the evening’s best performance was truly owned by John Cleese. Remaining wheelchair-bound and sporting increasingly serious injuries as the evening progressed, he eventually rose to his feet for the finale, provided by Eric Idle in a tutu leading a rousing chorus of “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” from Monty Python’s 1979 movie The Life of Brian.
The Prince of Wales and his accompanying consort Camilla and son Harry typically haven’t revealed their opinions of the show, but seemed to be enjoying it considerably. With Cleese in his best form in a very long time, they should have no complaints.
