Python Fans?

[Holmes]

So... WHYY is doing this big Monty Python thing for this special that's coming out: http://www.whyy.org/community/python.html.

Just thought I'd mention it. It'd be cool if people enter this sketch re-enactment competition
http://www.whyy.org/community/pythonskit_reg.html

AND... it'd maybe be a good idea to have some fliers for www.phillyimprov.com and www.phillyimprovtheater.com at some of these comedy-related events in the city.

 

[Mikey]

Great idea Matt. I love Python. See you out there!

 

[Holmes]

I don't know if I'll be there, but maybe. If anyone is interested in doing a sketch re-enactment, I'd consider participating; possibly being the police officer in the Crunchy Frog sketch who vomits in his hat.

 

[Mikey]

I would do the parrot sketch with someone if they desired.

 

[maughangl]

I will do the Parrot Sketch. I'd also be willing to do the Dirty Vicar Sketch if we can find a few buxom women.

 

[maughangl]

Oooo! I'd to the Cheese Shop Sketch too. Or the Spanish Inquisition... Or How Not To Be Seen if we could find some pyrotechnics...

 

[Holmes]

Mike and Greg, rehearse and perform the parot sketch (though I imagine EVERYONE will do that one) http://www.whyy.org/community/pythonskit_reg.html

and then pass out a whole bunch of fliers for the numerous improv comedy things in Philly.

 

[Mikey]

Are you on house arrest?

 

[Holmes]

yes

The WHYY website doesn't say. Will the re-enactments be filmed for replay on tv? Do you know if they'll be filmed at all so that those of us that cannot go can watch someday??

Spamalot Rules!

I saw Spamalot a few months ago on Broadway. Niles from Fraiser and that sweet transvestite from Rocky Horror was in it. John Cleese was the (pre-recorded) voice of God. It was totally great! The tickets only cost me $300 each.

I am going to see Spamalot on Bway on April 15th. I believe it is "pay your taxes night" too.

 

[maughangl]

So did anybody end up going to this?

 

[Loki]

Rick went, I am sure he will post details later...

 

[ick1019]

I went. I will post details later...

WHYY tonight at 10, Eric Idle part of Monty Python's Personal Best, which I believe includes NEW sketches.

 

[ick1019]

So here's the dish... I went to the WHYY space, and they had a party which included LOTS of Spam as hor doeurves, and they had a costume contest, of which only one person REALLY appeared to costume up (as a Gumby, beautiful!) Then they showed clips from Eric Idle's Personal Best, which in fact does include new footage, you are correct, House Arrest Matt. After that, 5 people did sketches which were all very well done... Burying The Cat / Argument Clinic / Lifeboat (Cannabalism) / Speaking in Anagrams / Interview with Sir Edward Ross. I won a Fresh Aire CD, and then I put the CD into my car and listened to it, BECAUSE I have a CD player in my car to listen to CD's on. And I also possess the ability to listen to things.
