John Cleese launched his one-man comedy show in Oslo, Norway with a series of nasty digs aimed at his ex-wife ALYCE FAYE EICHELBERGER.
The Monty Python legend is hitting the road with his production How To Finance Your Divorce Tour to earn more cash after he was ordered to hand over a huge lump of his fortune to his third wife in their divorce settlement.
Opening the tour to a sell-out audience on Friday (02Oct09), Cleese had fans in hysterics as he joked about his ex in a bitter tirade.
He told the crowd at the Konserthus venue, "I'm here, my friends, because frankly I need the money. I've fallen on hard times. I'm having to pay $20 million to a woman who I believe is the special lovechild of Bernie Madoff and Heather Mills.
"I'm being forced to hit the road again to rack up a few grand here and a few hundred there. To comfort me my lawyer told me to imagine how much I would have had to pay if Alyce had contributed anything to the relationship - such as children, or a conversation."
Cleese, whose marriage to Eichelberger lasted from 1992 to 2008, will perform the show for a week in Oslo, before heading to the U.S.
