About The Show

The late '60s satire boom opened up the way for a fresh, inventive generation of young comedy writer-performers to flourish on television. Monty Python's Flying Circus introduced the world to Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin -- members of the now legendary, infamous cult comedy troupe.

Monty Python's Flying Circus dared to take comedy to new and exciting directions that helped change the face of sketch comedy. Since they first landed on TV screens in 1969, the Pythons have been widely credited as one of the most influential comedy teams of their generation, thanks to their distinctive brand of humor, satire and innovative style.

The bold "stream of consciousness" flow from one scene to the next, jumping from either absurd to surreal or to both, led to the creation of a new adjective just to describe it, "Pythonesque." How else can you describe such classic moments where they discuss 'Spam,' demonstrate the fundamentals of 'Silly Walks' or teach us how to always expect the 'Spanish Inquisition'?
