- **Event Name**: Eric Idle │ Alexela Kontserdimaja, Tallinn
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 20 Apr, 2026 at 06:00 pm (+03:00)
- **Event Description**: Legendaarne koomik Eric Idle jõuab esmakordselt Eestisse ja seda veel oma uhiuue soolosõuga “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, Live!”. 20. aprillil 2026 tasub kõigil huumorisõpradel seada sammud Alexela Kontserdimajja, et osa saada lõikavatest kildudest, unustamatutest lauludest ja kohatust tarkusest, kuna ees on ootamas kevade komöödia kõrghetk.

Eric Idle on just naasmas ääretult edukalt Suurbritannia, Austraalia ja Uus-Meremaa turneelt, et nüüd oma ühe-mehe-show’ga rõõmustada Skandinaavia ja ka Eesti publikut. Ta segab kokku huumori, muusika, filosoofia ja – nagu ta ise väidab – ka ühe puuksunalja. Esinemine tõotab tulla intiimne ja tohutult naljakas, andes publikule võimaluse heita pilgu meelelahutustööstuse legendi ellu.

Idle on üle elanud väga haruldase vormi pankreasevähist, kuid ka sellest räägib ta endale omase irooniaga, lauldes: “See võib olla viimane kord, kui te mind näete!” Olge valmis: nilbevõitu lood, ühislaulmised, lugupidamatud mälestused kuulsusest ja rikkusest, seni avaldamata kaadrid ja üllatusterohke The Virtual Band, mida ta ise kirjeldab kui absurdsuse ja nostalgia segasummasuvilat.

Õhtu jooksul ei unusta Idle omal kombel kummardada ka oma pikaaegsetele sõpradele ja kolleegidele George Harrisonile, Robin Williamsile ja Neil Innesile. Ta annab au ka The Rutlesile – kultuslikku staatusse tõusnud biitlite paroodiabändile, mille Idle omal ajal lõi ja mis astus esimest korda üles milleski, mida peetakse üldiselt maailma esimeseks mockumentary’ks.

Eric Idle on lavade ja ristsõnade staar ning teda on sageli võrreldud ka Noel Cowardiga. “Aga mitte kunagi heas võtmes,” ütleb ta naljatledes. Tõeliselt karastunud koomikuna meenutab Idle, kuidas ta kogemata 1963. aastal skeenele koperdas ja, nagu ta ise ütleb: “Ma pole senini väljapääsu leidnud.” Tema missioon? “Inimesi lõbustada,” lisab ta süngelt.

Inimesed võivad mäletada ehk ka tema viimast Suurbritannia sooloesinemist 2012. aasta Londoni olümpiamängude lõputseremoonial, kus tema juhatusel 80 000 pealtvaatajat laulsid kaasa tema lugu „Always Look on the Bright Side of Life“ – seltsis Morrise tantsijad, ragbikoorid ja uisutavad nunnad. Kaks aastat hiljem taasühines ta algse Pythoni meeskonnaga kümneõhtuseks välja müüdud etenduseks The O2-s, mille ta ise kirjutas ja lavastas.

“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” on nii tema sõu kui justkui-biograafia pealkiri ning see on väidetavalt viimase 20 aasta Suurbritannia kõige nõutum matuselugu. See kõlab ka Tony auhinna võitnud muusikalis “Spamalot”, mille Idle kirjutas koos John Do Preziga. “Spamalot” jõudis möödunud aastal taas Broadwayle ning on saanud palju kiitust ning välja müüdud saalid räägivad enda eest. Idle viimane raamat “The Spamalot Diaries” annab võimaluse lähemalt uurida, kuidas see muusikaline meistriteos valmis ja lavadele jõudis.

Tallinna publikut on ees ootamas unustamatu õhtu, mis on täis huumorit, muusikat, filosoofiat – ja ärgem siis seda üht puuksunalja unustagem – kui Eric Idle oma “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, Live!” sõuga 20. aprillil 2026 Alexela Kontserdimajja jõuab. Live Nation Eesti kontserdiklubi liikmete on eelmüük juba alanud. Avalik müük algab 23. detsembril kell 10 Piletilevi müügipunktides ja veebilehel.

Comedy icon Eric Idle is heading to Estonia with his brand-new solo show “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, Live!”. Set to take place at Alexela Kontserdimaja in Tallinn on April 20, 2026, this evening of sharp humour, unforgettable songs and inappropriate wisdom will be the comedy event of the spring.

Following a hugely successful tour of the UK, Australia and New Zealand, Eric Idle is now bringing his one-man show to Scandinavia and Estonia. With a mix of comedy, music, philosophy and—by his own count—one fart joke, the performance promises an intimate and hilarious look at the life of a true entertainment legend.

A rare survivor of pancreatic cancer, Idle delivers the evening with his trademark irony, singing: “This may be the last time you see me.” Expect rude songs, singalongs, irreverent memories of fame and fortune, never-before-seen footage, and a surprise-filled soundtrack by The Virtual Band – which he describes as a sort of “Infinite Monkees Cage” ensemble.

Throughout the night, Idle pays touching tributes to long-time friends and collaborators George Harrison, Robin Williams, and Neil Innes. There's also a salute to The Rutles, the cult Beatles parody band Idle created, featured in what is widely considered the world’s first mockumentary.

Eric Idle – star of stage, screen and crossword puzzle – has often been compared to Noel Coward. “But never favourably,” he jokes. A true comedy survivor, Idle recalls how he stumbled into the scene in 1963 and, as he puts it, “hasn’t found the exit since.” His mission? “To cheer people up,” he adds glumly.

Audiences may remember his last solo UK performance from the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, where he led 80,000 spectators in a rousing rendition of “Always Look on the Bright Side of Lif”e – flanked by Morris dancers, rugby choirs and skating nuns. Two years later, he reunited with the original Python team for “Monty Python Live (Mostly)”, a ten-night sold-out run at The O2 which he wrote and directed.

“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life”, the title of both this show and his best-selling Sortabiography, has been the most requested funeral song in the UK for over 20 years. It also features in the Tony Award-winning musical “Spamalot”, which Idle co-wrote with John Du Prez. “Spamalot” returned to Broadway last year to glowing reviews and packed houses and is set to tour the US again from September.

Idle’s most recent book, “The Spamalot Diaries”, gives an intimate behind-the-scenes look at the making of that musical masterpiece and was published last year.

Prepare for an unforgettable evening of comedy, music, philosophy – and one fart joke – when Eric Idle brings “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, Live!” to Alexela Kontserdimaja in Tallinn on April 20, 2026. Tickets for Live Nation Concert Club members will be available from Thursday, December 22 at 10:00. General ticket sales begin on Friday, December 23 at 10:00 via Piletilevi online and official sales points.
