Comedy as a cultural gauge | Monty Python - International Hairdressers Expedition on Everest




Monty Python were a British comedy troupe formed in 1969 consisting of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. Their work included live shows, films, albums, books, and musicals; their influence on comedy has been compared to the Beatles' influence on music.

Their sketch show has been called "an important moment in the evolution of television comedy".

Monty Python's Flying Circus was loosely structured as a sketch show, but its innovative stream-of-consciousness approach and Gilliam's animation skills pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable in style and content.

Monty Python received the BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema in 1988. In 1998, they were awarded the AFI Star Award by the American Film Institute. Holy Grail and Life of Brian are frequently ranked on lists of the greatest comedy films.
