Monty Python Comedian John Cleese Cancels Himself "Before Someone Else Does"

Monty Python comedian John Cleese has pulled out of a scheduled speech at Cambridge University, announcing that he is canceling himself "before someone else does."

Cleese, who ironically was scheduled to bring along a film crew as part of a documentary on cancel culture called "Cancel Me," didn't even make it that far after the 'debating society' at the University banned another guest, art critic Andrew Graham-Dixon, for impersonating Adolf Hitler.

Given that Cleese has impersonated Hitler, and Nazis multiple times as part of comedy sketches and shows, he took the decision to 'blacklist' himself as a protest against the University's woke move.

I was looking forward to talking to students at the Cambridge Union this Friday, but I hear that someone there has been blacklisted for doing an
impersonation of Hitler

I regret that I did the same on a Monty Python show, so I am blacklisting myself before someone else does
