Life of Brian, Memoirs of Kim

By Marcus Gilmer on Nov 13, 2008 5:15PM

Does mere mention of the phrase "Blessed are the cheesemakers" get you giggling? If so, clear your calendar for the evening of November 18.

Kim "Howard" Johnson, author of the recently released Monty Python's Tunisian Holiday: My Life with Brian, will be at the iO Chicago Theater presenting an insider's account of the making of Monty Python's Life of Brian.

Johnson, a fan, friend and assistant to the famous comedy team, will be dusting off never-before-shared photos and anecdotes from his time on the set nearly 30 years ago.

And now for something completely different: the event is free of charge.

Kim Johnson, Tuesday November 18, 8 p.m., iO Chicago Theater, 3541 N. Clark St., Free
