An Evening with Eric Idle: Idle in Provence

Eric Idle is playing the Neptune Theatre on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 7 PM. The show is called Idle in Provence, and it's billed as a comedy evening. If you know Idle, you know the Monty Python connection, and that's a good place to start: he's one of the original members of the troupe, so this is a night with one of the people who helped build the whole thing.

There's a bit more to this than just a ticket, too. Every ticket includes a pre-signed copy of Idle in Provence, so you'll walk away with a book as well as the show. Between the comedy on stage and the book in your hand, it's a double feature of sorts.

The Neptune is in Seattle's University District at 1303 NE 45th Street. It's a historic spot, and there are a couple of practical things to keep in mind before you head over. First, there's no elevator to the balcony levels; they're reachable by stairs and ramps only, so if you're planning on sitting up there, you'll want to be aware of that. Second, there are metal detectors and bag searches at the door, so don't bring anything you don't need. There are also ticket limits in place, so you'll want to grab yours early if you're going with a group.

So, the details again: Eric Idle at the Neptune Theatre on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at 7 PM, with a pre-signed copy of Idle in Provence included with every ticket.
