    Monty Python star duck-walks into Dallas for intimate show at Toyota Music Factory

    Monty Python fans will get to see one of their heroes at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, with an appearance by Python co-founder John Cleese, who will engage conversation and audience Q&A on April 3 at The Pavilion Toyota Music Factory Indoor Theater.

    John will tell stories of his life and career, and screen Monty Python and the Holy Grail in its entirety on the big screen.

    VIP tickets will be available which include a photo opportunity with John. Tickets start at $69 and go on sale December 8 at 10 am. A release calls for "absurd and/or ridiculous questions only, please."

    Monty Python's Flying Circus, a sketch comedy show that combined animation and absurdist routines, first aired on London's BBC in 1969. Its subsequent airing on PBS made it a cult classic in America for many years.

    Cleese is making appearances around the country screening the film, which he describes as a survival of the fittest. "The whole thing was made on $400,000, and it was so uncomfortable shooting in Scotland in April because it rained all the time," he says.

    He last appeared locally alongside Eric Idle at the Majestic Theatre in Dallas in December 2016.

    On the small screen, Cleese is known for his work on programs such as Cheers, 3rd Rock from the Sun, Will & Grace, and the Emmy-nominated TLC documentary The Human Face with John Cleese.

    Film credits include Silverado, The Out-of-Towners, Rat Race, and Kenneth Branagh's Frankenstein.

    He has also co-authored two books on psychology — Families and How to Survive Them and Life and How to Survive It — and recently completed his autobiography So, Anyway…

    According to his bio, "In his twilight years, John passes his time writing film scripts, giving speeches to business audiences, doing seminars on creativity, teaching at Cornell, paying alimony, and doting on three huge cats and a fish."

    The show is from The Backlot Project, which claims to bring the most beloved stars of television and film from the screen to an exciting and intimate live setting. Backlot's release oddly doesn't mention that Cleese wrote and starred in A Fish Called Wanda, whose screenplay was nominated for an Oscar. It also doesn't mention Fawlty Towers, another BBC series Cleese wrote and starred in, which made its way onto American public television and achieved cult status.

    Netflix House in Dallas commissions mega-murals from acclaimed artist

    A long-awaited immersive venue is opening in Dallas, and it will debut with local art on its walls: Netflix House, a year-round exhibit revolving around Netflix shows and movies, will open at Galleria Dallas on December 11, with two murals from award-winning Dallas multi-medium artist Jeremy Biggers.

    Netflix House is an immersive dive complete with merchandise store, film house, arcade, and restaurant-bar. When it opens, Dallas will be the second location in the U.S., following Philadelphia, where it debuted in November 2025, also with murals from a local artist.

    A graduate of Booker T. Washington High School for Performing and Visual Arts, Biggers is a renowned artist whose murals can be found spashed on walls across Dallas. Many, such as the Selena portrait on the wall outside Top Ten Records at 306 S. Bishop Ave., have become local landmarks.

    He's a logical choice, having worked with a number of corporations including Nike, Adidas, the Dallas Mavericks, and IBM, for whom he created the "THINK" mural in their Dallas corporate office. His works have also been exhibited nationally, including a 2024 solo exhibition "be safe out there bro" at Band of Vices, a gallery in Los Angeles.

    "Being chosen to be the artist to paint this mural, it would have been a disservice to myself, as well as the art scene in the city, not to try to infuse myself into it," he says.

    Biggers did two murals featuring his interpretation of Netflix figures including the Squid Game Young-hee doll, characters from KPop Demon Hunters and megahit series Stranger Things, plus Pandy and DJ Catnip, the best friends in the interactive series Gabby’s Dollhouse.

    Both murals are intensely colored works that incorporate Biggers' signature motif: a grid of polka dots spread across the image.

    • One is on the exterior of Netflix House, at the parking entrance, a colorful collage of characters, measuring 38 feet x 50 feet — the tallest mural Biggers has tackled. He painted it with aerosol; it took him two months to complete.
    • The other is on the interior, on the mall side entrance of Netflix House, measuring 57 feet x 12 feet — a study in moody blacks and blues, with accents of neon-red that give it a 3D effect.

    “I'm trying to tell the story of Netflix, and the story of where Netflix has been historically, where Netflix is headed in the future, and then also infusing my own narrative and my own language visually into that story,” he says.

    “They could have opened this anywhere, so for Dallas to be one of the very first locations — that’s a testament to us as a market, as consumers of arts and consumers in general," he says.
