Cleese visit to boost zoo funds

Jersey Zoo is set to benefit from a rare live performance by the British comedy actor John Cleese.

Islanders will be able to see the Monty Python and Fawlty Towers star at the Jersey Opera House next month.

For one night only, Mr Cleese is coming to the island from his home in America to raise money for the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, which runs the zoo.

He will be in conversation will Jerseyman and BBC journalist Robert Hall.
