The Last Night of Monty Python

[_____V_____]

Coming to 1500 screens across the world on July 20th

They brought the world the game-changing sketch comedy show Monty Python's Flying Circus. They concocted bizarre monstrosities of movies like The Meaning of Life, Life of Brian and The Holy Grail. Then the members of the adored and acclaimed comedy troupe went their separate ways. But for one night only, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin will reunite in London for The Last Night of Monty Python. If you didn't snag tickets to the much-anticipated stage show, you still have a shot to enjoy all its mayhem thanks to a special movie-theater expansion.

Variety reports Picturehouse Entertainment has made a deal that will broadcast The Last Night of Monty Python live to theaters around the world on July 20th. Though Monty Python's surviving members (John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin) have appeared on stage together a handful of times since their movies and show wrapped, this event is being billed as their last hoorah, a bittersweet farewell that is sure to be the most bonkers goodbye ever. Considering they claimed to bring the ashes of deceased Monty Python member Graham Chapman on stage at the 1998 US Comedy Arts Festival, the bar is set pretty high for wild humor.

Notably, past reunions were often Q&A events, but The Last Night of Monty Python will be the first time the troupe has actually performed sketches together on stage since a show at the Hollywood Bowl in 1980.

It will be directed by Aubrey Powell and produced by Fiz Oliver.
