We are absolutely thrilled to welcome comedian, actor, author and singer-songwriter, Eric Idle, back to Bath for his new memoir, Idle In Provence: A Brief History of Thyme.
Idle In Provence follows Eric's purchase of a ramshackle property in the south of France, just two years after the launch of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Both hilarious and tender, we follow Eric on a tale spanning fifty years, seeking his own slice of the simple life.
Please note: Eric will sign books for attendees for one hour after the interview portion of the event.
About the book:
In 1971, two years after the launch of Monty Python’s Flying Circus made his comedy troupe global superstars - and made all their lives a little more complicated - Eric Idle decided to buy a ramshackle property in the south of France.
In search of a simpler, quieter life, what followed was a story akin to A Year in Provence, but with more disaster, more heartbreak, more laughs - and much more spam.
A tale spanning a fifty-year quest of home-building, friendship-making and bad-French-learning, Idle in Provence is a hilarious, tender and unforgettable memoir of Eric Idle's very own escape to the country.

Eric also wrote the award-winning musical
Spamalot. He splits his time between Los Angeles and Provence.
