Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl is a 1982 British concert comedy film directed by Terry Hughes (with the film segments by Ian MacNaughton) and starring the Monty Python comedy troupe (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin) as they perform many of their sketches at the Hollywood Bowl. The film also features Carol Cleveland in numerous supporting roles and Neil Innes performing songs. Also present for the shows and participating as an ‘extra’ was Python superfan Kim “Howard” Johnson.
While this is considered a “movie” its actually a series of skits which is what the Flying Circus started out with as a tv program. They do feature some of the more popular skits, such as The Ministry of Silly Walks. I also quite enjoyed some of the musical numbers that were represented.
I really enjoyed this “live” version of Monty Python, and they way they interacted with audience was wonderful. I don’t think it’s something that can be done anymore, and I wish that wasn’t the case. It really was wonderful, and I wish I could have been at this performance.
