JOHN Cleese has won a prestigious Spanish comedy award.
The Monty Python legend received the BBK JA prize at Bilbao’s International Festival of Literature, Art and Comedy.
The 76-year-old star of Life Of Brian, Fawlty Towers and a Fish Called Wanda was hailed by the organisers.
“His sharp and irreverent vision and unmistakable physical humour are part of comedy’s DNA,” the BBK Ja organisers said.
