This is the definitive, the official, the most lavish, the completely-different-to-anything-done-before Pythons’ autobiography, reissued to coincide with the eagerly anticipated live shows at the O2 in 2014.
Over 40 years ago, a group of five Englishmen – and one wayward American – rewrote the rules of comedy. MONTY PYTHON’S FLYING CIRCUS, an unheralded, previously unseen half-hour show of sketches, hilarities, inanities and animations, first appeared on the BBC late one night in 1969. Its impact has been felt on the world ever since. From its humble beginnings, it blossomed into the most influential movement in modern comedy.
THE PYTHONS’ AUTOBIOGRAPHY BY THE PYTHONS is a unique insight into arguably the most important comic team of the modern age, lavishly illustrated throughout, with photographs culled from the team’s own personal collections.
This is the definitive word, in their own words, on all things Pythonesque.
