And now for something completely different...
A book for everyone who likes Monty Python!

From its perfectly insane television show to their consistently irreverent and riotous movies, Monty Python has owned the zany and absurd side of comedy since the troupe's debut. Its influence can be felt in every comedy show that followed, from 'Saturday Night Live' and 'Second City Television' to 'The Kids in the Hall' , The same inspiration shows up in laughs writ large in the silver screen - from 'Airplane!' and 'This Is Spinal Tap to Raising Arizona' and 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' - where the Python brand of absurdity opened the doors for people who made names for themselves by pushing the funny even further.
'If you like Monty Python...' is the first book to look at the movies, TV, and more that were influenced by the Pythons, but also at those who came before them, including the classic British comedies and the Marx Brothers. It also features everything in the extended Python universe, from 'Fawlty Towers' and 'A Fish Called Wanda' to 'Brazil' and 'Spamalot'. This is a book for any fan who has graduated from the Ministry of Silly Walks and wants more.
