National treasure Michael Palin returns to the West End this spring, in conversation with QI creator John Lloyd.
Michael Palin remains one of Britain’s most gifted observers of the human condition.
His career has been defined by a quiet, persistent curiosity about the world and his place in it. Hear him reflect not just on where he has been, but on the strange, often hilarious business of being Michael Palin!
This one-night-only event is part of a brand-new On a Roll series at the Gillian Lynne Theatre, where producer John Lloyd (the force behind QI, Blackadder, Spitting Image and Radio 4’s The Museum of Curiosity) invites a friend he’s known for decades to sit down, relax, and talk properly. No publicist-approved anecdotes, no rehearsed patter. Just two brilliant minds riffing on life, comedy, language, curiosity, and whatever else takes their fancy.
Behind the scenes and off the leash, this is a rare chance to see Michael Palin, live and unedited, gently excavated by John Lloyd.
Michael Palin: On a Roll – Lightly Toasted by John Lloyd is playing at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in London on 27 April 2026.
