Monty Python FAQ: The Complete Unauthorized Guide

Ni! Peng! Nee-wom! Applause Theatre & Cinema Books presents Monty Python FAQ: All That's Left to Know About Spam, Grails, Spam, Nudging, Bruces, and Spam, the only 127% unauthorized guide to the greatest comedy troupe featuring Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin.

Comprehensive Python Coverage

Written in Applause's popular FAQ format, this guide delivers historical trivia, paraphernalia insights, and detailed analysis across eminently readable chapters accessible to Python newcomers and veterans alike. Rather than offering narrow analyses, this book traces the Pythons across space, time, and media formats.

What's Inside

This guide covers the troupe's journey from the sketch comedy scene they emerged from to their boundary-breaking, anarchic new style. Explore their comedic influences, biographical information on each individual Python, and examinations of their lives and work post-Python. The book spans from the troupe's front cover to its reverse, stuffed with allusions to canonical literature and philosophy, balanced with moments like somebody getting slapped in the face with a fish.
