Everything about Cambridge Circus Comedy totally explained

Cambridge Circus is a comedy revue that played in London in 1963. Unfortunately the title sometimes confused audiences, as it wasn't actually playing at Cambridge Circus itself. (The original name of the revue was A Clump of Plinths.) Originally a Cambridge Footlights production, the show starred John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Bill Oddie, Tim Brooke-Taylor, David Hatch, Chris Stuart-Clark and Jo Kendall. Jonathan Lynn later joined the cast when Chris Stuart-Clark left comedy to become a schoolteacher. The revue played at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1963 before opening at West End in London on 10 July 1963. It then bizarrely toured New Zealand, where they recorded a television special and four radio shows which were broadcast in November and December 1963.
   A radio version of the revue was broadcast by the BBC on 30 December 1963. Originally intended as a one-off special, this went on to become a successful and long-running radio series called I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again, which premiered in April 1964.
   Cambridge Circus transferred to Broadway in September 1964 and finally Off-Broadway. The revue was broadcast on television in the United States when the cast made an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show during October 1964, featuring some of the sketches.
