Stephen Lane, CEO of Propstore, commented: “Monty Python’s legacy is truly unrivalled – they’ve been a comedy touchstone for generations of fans across the globe. Propstore’s auction gives fans and collectors from around the world an incredible one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a piece of their historic final reunion, along with rare treasures from the personal archive of the brilliant and beloved Python, Terry Gilliam.”

Legendary Monty Python actor, Sir Michael Palin, commented: “Monty Python Live (mostly) at the O2 was the show to end all Python shows. Bigger, brassier, bolder than anything we'd done before. The reception was amazing. We kept adding shows. Two became three, three became five, five became 10. None of us had ever experienced an audience reaction on that scale, proving conclusively that it is possible to be silly after 70. We couldn’t better that show and since the sad death of Terry Jones, we must admit that the O2 show was Python’s farewell. But thanks to the auction the costumes and some of the props can be passed on, hopefully to Python’s greatest and most loyal fans."

About Monty Python

Monty Python was born in May 1969, at the Light of Kashmir tandoori restaurant in Hampstead, where five Brits (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) and an American (animator Terry Gilliam) first sat down to discuss working together on a new BBC comedy series.

Coinciding with the arrival of colour television, ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’ made its debut on BBC1 on October 5, 1969, at 10:55 p.m. on a Sunday night, sandwiched between ‘Omnibus’ and the weather.

The Pythons went on to make 45 episodes of the hit TV show; a German version titled ‘Monty Python’s Fliegender Zirkus’; publish books and games; release a string of hugely-popular vinyl albums; perform live on tours of England, Canada and the US; and produce the iconic feature films - ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’, a hilarious skewering of the Arthurian legend; the mock-Biblical epic, ‘Life of Brian’; and, in 1983, ‘The Meaning of Life’, a dark, ribald symphony of excess and meditation on mortality.

In 2005, Python came to Broadway with the premiere of ‘Spamalot’ – a smash-hit retooling of ‘Holy Grail’. In 2014, the group reunited for a sold-out, 10-night valedictory live stage show at the O2 London.

Monty Python continues to thrive today with anniversary releases, event cinema, collaborations with major merchandise brands and much more.

Monty Python’s influence on comedy is incomparable, and has become synonymous with rampant silliness, and a refusal to take anything seriously.
