John Cleese sets his own media

John Cleese is now performing at his ranch in California via his website which charges $50 a year for the privilege (though some of the content are free.)

Fed up with television executives, travels and studios, the Monty Python star set up the website as a vehicle for his humour and personal philosophy. He updates the site every day with new sketches, pictures of his home life and biographical information.

"It�s like having a tiny TV station or a magazine. The simplicity is delightful," said Cleese last week.
