In 1979, Monty Python’s Life of Brian turned the Biblical epic on its head. Now, the makers of SPAMALOT turn classical music on its ear! Prepare for Not the Messiah (He’s a Very Naughty Boy) – the comedic masterpiece that combines all of the unforgettable humour of the Python’s most celebrated film with the overblown grandeur of a symphony orchestra. Don’t miss your chance to share the one-night only performance featuring a rare on-stage reunion of Python troupe members Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam.

At last for the first time ever (well at least since the 30th anniversary), the complete history of Monty Python. It's not all parrots, grail and Brian. This is the in depth and true (well, yes, admittedly the almost true) story - six bloody hours of the thing, to be precise, not including DVD extras - as told straight from the mouths of John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam and thanks to incredible research and completely analog, undigitized archives Graham Chapman. They are all here, the dead one too!

Plunging head first into history, director Terry Gilliam fearlessly brings the logic of children's fairy tales to bear as he navigates through myth and legend in a bizarre, ingenious retelling of THE WIZARD OF OZ. A boy and six good natured little persons careen through time twisting interactions with Napoleon, Robin Hood, and Agamemnon, among others, with a map the little people stole from their employer, the Supreme Being. But their intention is to rob their way through the past, which does not make their boss happy. Meanwhile, Evil is after the map in order to become the Supreme Being himself. The result is an extraordinarily visual extravaganza that overflows with Gilliam's ecstatic...

Michael Pain teams with Oscar winner Maggie Smith in this uproarious comedy in which the laughs come fast and the upper class becomes furious. Life isn't easy in 1947 Yorkshire, where strict post war rationing is putting the squeeze on the towns people. But when a married working class couple discovers that the town's wealthy elte has been secretly fattening up an illegal pig for their own selfish gluttony, they hatch an outlandish kidnapping scheme that gives new meaning to the phrase bringing home the bacon.

On a Midnight Clear 2000 years ago, three wise men enter a manger where a babe is wrapped in swaddling clothes. It is an infant called Brian...and the three wise men are in the wrong manger. For the rest of his life, Brian (Graham Chapman) finds himself regarded as something of a Messiah, yet he's always in the shadow of this Other Guy from Galilee. Brian is witness to the Sermon of the Mount, but his seat is in such a bad location that he can't hear any of it ("Blessed are the cheesemakers"). Ultimately he is brought before Pontius Pilate and sentenced to crucifixion, which takes place at that crowded, non-exclusive execution site a few blocks shy of Calvary. Rather than utter the Last Six...

In 1976 the aristocracy of British comedy came together to star in a series of late night comedy shows collectively known as Pleasure At Her Majesty’s, produced in aid of Amnesty International — the human rights organization. Appearing on stage for the first and only time were the stars of Beyond The Fringe and of Monty Python, supported by the likes of Dame Edna Everage and The Goodies. In over an hour of hysterical live comedy, there are classic skits including probably the finest version of The Dead Parrot (featuring Michael Palin and John Cleese); Beyond The Fringe’s classic Richard The Third; Monty Python’s Pope & Michelangelo (featuring John Cleese and Jonathan Lynn) and closing with...

The original surreal sketch comedy showcase for the Monty Python troupe, Flying Circus was an outrageous, bawdy and often tasteless show that found a massive following and made stars out of its cast. While to the uninitiated they may look like ordinary .65 oz. digital video discs, due to the unique physics of comedy (its like quantum but with fewer dead cats), each disc actually weighs a full metaphoric ton! Please remember to lift with your knees! This 16-Ton Megaset contains every single episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus - four years of blood, sweat and blancmange - jammed into slivers of plastic the size of a tea plate! Monty Python's Flying Circus is now available on DVD in...
