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.
