There's few better targets for humor -- scathing, loving, or just plain wacky -- than the holidays! From family get-togethers to insane gift-shopping to neurotic friends, family and significant others, this season is perfect fodder for the Groundlings, L.A.'s premiere comic troupe. This holiday-themed sketch show presents the Groundlings at their brilliant best! Learn More
Had a lot of fun. Had to wipe the tears from my eyes from laughing so hard. It made me want to get some Python DVDs. Thought it was too short though, to justify the cost of the ticket. There were a lot of skits they missed (of course). They did the skit that lead up to "Every Sperm is Sacred" without doing that magical musical number. I like that you could take snacks and drinks into the theater. Wouldn't spend full price, but would make this a show to go to with friends.
An excellent cast (actors yes, but also Monty Python fans!) performed some of the best of Monty Python. It was a fast paced show and very enjoyable. The material does hold up and there was a wide age range of people in the audience (I would rate the show PG13 and would think before bringing kids under 13 unless you want them to hear the Penis song, see fake female frontal nudity, and hear the "N" word and other derogatory terms for various races, ethnicities, and other language.) I'm a long time Monty Python fan and highly recommend the show!
A few reviewers mentioned there was only one Brit in the cast. You have not done your homework. There are two Brits in the cast and I would laugh my head off silly if you thought the actual Brits had the worst British accents!
This was a lot of fun. I got the tickets for my Fiance who is a huge Monty Python fan. We were mainly excited to see Hank Azaria, but it turns out he wasn't even there. But Alan Tudyk was really great in all the skits. It was easy to get to which was really nice and there were lots of places to get dinner within walking distance.

From the creators who brought us the Tony Winning Blockbuster musical Spamalot comes a very silly night of sketches and songs drawn from the Python cannon, An Evening without Monty Python. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Monty Python's Flying Circus, Eric Idle has collected a paeanastic laudatory exaltation of the works of John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Michael Palin & Eric Idle himself. Starring the Pythonesque Hank Azaria, Jane Leeves, Alan Tudyk, Rick Holmes & Jim Piddock. Partly directed by Eric Idle & BT McNicholl. It's like an evening with Cole Porter, just funnier.
