The bad news is, when I wrote last year that the Monty Python Live shows at the O2 would be their final performances, I wasn’t kidding. If you held out for a U.S. tour, well, it’s not going to happen.

But it’s not all bad news. This fall is going to offer you the chance to see some of the individual Pythons live on stage in the U.S. and the U.K.

I mentioned previously that John Cleese and Eric Idle are embarking on a series of sit-down comedy dates in Florida and the lower eastern seaboard in October (info available at http://www.cleeseandidle.com). Dates are being added, but don’t delay.

U.K. fans can catch the nicest Python in September and October throughout England, with ticket info and schedules at http://www.themichaelpalin.com.

What more could you ask for? Well…check back here soon. Very soon, for another very special U.S. Python appearance.
