John Cleese has admitted he was left laughing till he hurt during the coronation of King Charles.
The Monty Python star compared the historic event to one of the iconic comedy troupe’s famous sketches as he confessed the regal costumes had him in hysterics back in May.
‘When I was younger, I used to laugh until it hurt,’ he explained on The Dinosaur Hour on GB News.
‘I had that recently watching the Coronation. I watched it with my wife. She always watches television in bed with lots of cats around. ‘I watched it and thought, “This is a Python sketch. People in silly costumes taking something seriously”.
‘I laughed until I hurt. I hadn’t done that for about 30 years. I’m glad I wasn’t in the cathedral.’
He made the revelation during a chat with comedian Rob Schneider, who agreed that it was a ‘very silly’ scene as he described the king’s crown as a ‘popcorn hat’.

Fawlty Towers star Cleese noted some people were ‘very touched’ by the once in a lifetime event following the tragic death of Queen Elizabeth in September last year.
‘Bless them,’ he said. ‘Then there are naughty people like me who think it’s funny.’
He insisted it’s the ‘sweetest laughter of all’, when you want to giggle but you’re ‘not allowed to laugh’.
The conversation was part of Cleese’s show The Dinosaur Hour, and the host – who has been criticised in some quarters for joining the controversial news channel and for taking aim at so-called ‘woke politics’ – previously admitted it was a struggle booking guests.
‘Most people are frightened of getting fired and the people who employ them are frightened of getting fired and that end of woke is not very nice,’ he suggested.
He added: ‘You’ve got to have celebrities to get people to turn on but then you can interview people who are really interesting. And a lot of celebrities aren’t interesting at all.’
