Director: Ian MacNaughton

Writers: Graham Chapman; John Cleese; Terry Gilliam; Eric Idle; Terry Jones; Michael Palin

Keywords: Comedy, Comedy Sketches

Comedy sketches selected from the first two seasons of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Included are classics "How Not to Be Seen", "The Lumberjack Song" and "The Dead Parrot Sketch." A small number of sketches are rewritten or reenacted, perhaps for the better. Production intended for the American audience; periodically we are reminded that this all is just "silly."
