Adam Sherwin, The Independent, 8th July 2014Monty Python: Absurdity for the ages
Much of this legacy is down to the influence the Pythons have had on other performers and writers.
The Citizen (South Africa), 7th July 2014Monty Python Live (Mostly) review
Monty Python's reunion delivers few surprises but their comedic genius remains.
Stephanie Merritt, The Observer, 6th July 2014Monty Python Live (Mostly) review
The five remaining Pythons have brushed off their old material for a gargantuan revue show that still makes young and old shriek with laughter.
Clair Woodward, The Daily Express, 6th July 2014Monty Python. You resent this reunion, don't you?
I wish Yentob had pushed them all on this point. "Look," he should have said, to each Python in turn. "Be honest. Not mock-honest - none of your ha-ha-we-can't-stand-each-other's-company-and-we're-only-doing-it-for-the-money-ha-ha. Give it to us straight. You actually quite resent this reunion, don't you?"
Michael Deacon, The Telegraph, 5th July 2014Pythonmania: of snakes and critics
For me the event/spectacle/show, as that was what it was in a defining order, said as much about the relevance of comedy criticism than about the Python legacy.
Julian Hall, The Stage, 4th July 2014Monty Python Live review
This is a spectacle that inevitably feels it needs to pay homage to the old favourites, usually with fairly minor updates. That this is not a show for critics, but for fans.
Julian Hall, The Stage, 2nd July 2014Monty Python Live review
This isn't a sad farewell for Python, nor is it the hot ticket we all hoped it would be. Fandom and devotion are essential; all of which hallmarks of a slightly lazy and pedestrian production.
Oliver Keens, Time Out, 2nd July 2014Monty Python Live (Mostly) review
After the onslaught of hype, the comedy icons' return fulfilled their nostalgic obligations while never coming close to approaching the provocative or absurdist heights that made the Pythons (mostly) living legends.
Jay Richardson, The Scotsman, 2nd July 2014Monty Python, O2 Arena - comedy review
'John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam delivered material written nearly half a century ago - and it still works'
