Ready Eric Idle's announcement on PythOnline...
Read what other newspapers are saying...

From the Hampshire Gazette, review by Chris Shadoian...

“...Idle and his well-versed co-stars jumped deftly between reciting classic Python skits and singing old and new parodic songs. Fan favorites ''I Like Chinese,'' ''Lumberjack Song'' and ''Always Look On the Bright Side of Life,'' (Idle's crucifixated swan song from the concluding scene of ''Life of Brian'') drew exceptional praise from the audience, something for which Idle was clearly prepared.

He and his co-stars reveled in the fanatical audience reaction, even playing it by encouraging a sing-along just prior to intermission.

The second half of the show was more devoted to Idle's memoirs of growing up in post-World War II England, the formation of Monty Python and the revelation that Idle hopes to produce a Broadway show based on ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail.'' It shall be called: ''Spamelot!''

Idle was the same quick-witted bar patron, cross-dresser, swagman that he was when the original Python shows aired, and the show played like a better episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus. If you're at all inclined, visit www.pythonline.com to find a nearby performance, and - nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more - go.”
