For the majority of us that couldn’t buy tickets to the Monty Python final reunion shows at the O2 Arena in London that sold out in mere minutes or see it in a limited run broadcast in movie theaters, Monty Python LIVE (Mostly): One Down, Five to Go is now available to buy and watch as soon as you can get out your wallet.

The marriage of live entertainment and cinema are fast becoming more commonplace at your local movie theater as shown most recently by Monty Python Live (Mostly). While Monty Python’s live shows at London’s O2 Arena were sold in mere seconds, plenty of folks saw a livestream and rebroadcasts of the show in their favorite multiplex.
Enough of them saw it that Monty Python scored #3 all time of the biggest live cinema events in the U.K. With that type of sway, it only makes you think of the possibilities of other live comedy events being in theaters. Rifftrax does pretty well here in the states with their live “riff” events.
Whose to say that the taping of an hour stand up special from a big enough comedian wouldn’t make it to a theater in the not so distant future.
On top of all of that, you can expect to be purchase a copy of Monty Python Live (Mostly) sometime in November, which is exciting for the overwhelming number of us that couldn’t make it to a theater or the O2 Arena.
The Rolling Stones’ Mick Jagger did this intro video to a press conference they did for Monty Python’s current run of shows at London’s O2 Arena.
When you’re Monty Python, not only will Mick Jagger do a video for you, but he’ll make fun of you as well. Watch it here.
Monty Python Live Show to Air on Sundance Channel
If you can’t make it to the sold out shows at the O2 Arena or to a participating movie theater here in the U.S. for Monty Python’s live reunion, then worry not as the Sundance Channel has just acquired rights for it to premiere on their network.
Still, if you can catch the shows live or in live broadcast, you should definitely go do that and then rewatch it when it comes on Sundance.
