From dead parrots to Mr Gumby this will be a python fest to end them all.

For the first time in more than three decades, comedy legends Monty Python will perform live on stage together this year. It has been announced that their final gig, broadcast from London’s O2 Arena on Sunday 20 July, will be the Pythons last ever live performance together. So this really is your last chance to catch Monty Python live. At a combined age of just 358, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin will once again perform some of their greatest hits, with modern, topical, Pythonesque twists. Monty Python are rightfully regarded as among the world’s finest-ever comedians. They influenced a generation and revolutionised comedy. Their eagerly awaited reunion promises to be among the biggest live events of 2014.
