And Now for Something Completely Different... (The Leonard Lopate Show: Tuesday, 04 September 2007)
To call a bit of comedy "Pythonesque" is to say that it's smart, irreverent, probably absurdist, and, most importantly, absolutely hilarious. Michael Palin - along with John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Terry Gilliam - formed the seminal British troupe Monty Python, inspiring a new adjective while creating an entirely different style of sketch comedy that has kept audiences laughing for nearly forty years. Purchase Diaries 1969-1979: The Python Years at amazon.com. Events : Michael Palin will be speaking and signing books Tuesday, September 4 at 7pm Barnes & Noble at Lincoln Triangle Events : Michael Palin will be speaking at the 92nd Street Y Wednesday, September 5 at 8pm
