BBC News: Monty Python to reunite for stage show

I wonder how much the Devil (or Crowley) would offer me for my soul? Enough to get tickets to this?

I grew up watching Monty Python. I would say it's a rare day that goes by that I don't make some kind of Monty Python reference or quote, even if I'm not aware of it half the time. It's practically de rigeur in our family that if someone says they're full at the end of a meal, someone will start talking about a 'wafer thin mint'. If anyone mentions something being unexpected, someone will start up with the Spanish Inquisition sketch. It's like my whole family has triggers - you mention the words 'unexpected', 'shrubbery', 'full', 'Messiah', 'sperm', mention any of the philosophers or talk about a lumberjack...Monty Python will inevitably happen.

Ahh, I have fond memories of family sing-alongs to the Noel Coward-esque 'Isn't It Awfully Nice to Have a Penis?' or 'The Philosopher's Song' or 'The Lumberjack Song' or 'Every Sperm Is Sacred'. Really, it's no wonder my brother and I turned out the way we did.

I bet the tickets will sell out in seconds. I mean, Monty Python!
