Why You Shouldn't Miss John Cleese at Nudgestock 2021
It’s almost that time of year: Nudgestock.
Back again in 2021, the line-up of speakers is just as incredible as ever, including the amazing John Cleese.
With so much 🧠power and experience in 12 straight hours of ‘grade-a BS’, deciding which talks to watch (though we recommend them all) can feel a bit overwhelming.
So, we’ve made some cheat sheets to help you get to know each of the keynote speakers a little better. 💡
“If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.”
Starting off, you’re fairly certain to have heard of the modern renaissance man that is John Cleese.
He’s a man of many hats: actor, comedian, screenwriter, producer and, perhaps less well-known, author!
John Cleese and Creativity
His most recent book, Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide, is one we would recommend checking out!
Having spent many years as a member of the comedy troupe Monty Python, writing such sketches as the Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook, coming up with creative ideas and solution is no alien concept to Cleese.
We personally love his talk on creativity in management (⬇️see below⬇️) so much that we made a post about it! Over here. 👋
“He who laughs most, learns best.”
Tune into Nudgestock 2021 to hear from a master of comedy, writing, performance and applied creativity.
