The tour accompanies the publication of Sir Michael's new book, also named 'Michael Palin In The Philippines', which is scheduled for release on October 1. This venture follows his recent Channel 5 television series where he explored the southeast Asian nation.
Sir Michael stated his enthusiasm for taking the show around the country. He indicated that the live performances would offer a platform to share narratives that did not feature in the television programmes. He plans to discuss the people he encountered, the locations he visited, and unexpected events during his travels, using films and photographs as accompaniment.
““Every journey leaves me with stories that never quite make it into the television programmes, and I always enjoy the chance to share those moments with a live audience.””
