Innes, who is widely regarded as one of the most influential musical comedians of the last half-century, will launch the trek October 6 in Arlington, Mass., and play shows along the East Coast and Great Lakes region through October 19.

The British musician/satirist got his start in the mid-’60s with the Bonzo Dog Band, and soon began contributing to Monty Python’s many projects. He achieved widespread recognition when he and the Pythons’ Eric Idle created the Rutles, a Beatles send-up.

Innes composed 20 Beatles parody tunes for “All You Need Is Cash,” a 1978 film which featured John Belushi, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Mick Jagger, Paul Simon and George Harrison.

An upcoming documentary entitled “The Seventh Python” details Innes’ life and work, including a series of concerts in Los Angeles performed with a band composed of fans. The film also features a Rutles reunion show and appearances by celebrity fans and collaborators including Idle, Emo Phillips and Matt Groening.
