Classic

Pretty sure I had this album as a kid.... it's only about an hour long, but to me it was worth the credit

Maybe not for audio…

I love the Pythons, and it’s good to hear all of their best Flying Circus sketches, but there’s something lost without the video. The Dead Parrot sketch is still funny, but without seeing John Cleese screaming at the dead bird to try to wake it… well, it’s not quite the same. If you can’t get enough of them, try their autobiographies and other books on Audible instead.

Flying Circus Forever

As a long time fan of the Monty Python troupe, I've always appreciated their witty shtick based humor. This audio book helps me while forward deployed to Afghanistan and my only regret is that there are no other MP audio books with just the skits and not documentaries.

sound issues

love flying circus but the recording sound quality was too poor to be able to listen in my car

Classic Monty Python

Ever wondered why fans can't resist quoting lines from Monty Python skits? They cackle something absurd and then break into fits of laughter leaving the uninitiated clueless?

I had this recording on a cassette tape when I was a kid. I played it so often it became stretched and unplayable. Today I was reunited with a recording that is a Monty Python classic. The Flying Circus is a great place to plug into the absurd, mind bending British humour and be introduced to their whacky world perspective.

Before you know it you will be cackling absurd lines and laughing out loud before you finish leaving others wondering what's going on. They really do 'shine out like a shaft of gold while all around is dark'.
