Monty Python, also known as the Pythons, is a British comedy group made up by John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, and the late Graham Chapman and Terry Jones.

Their breakthrough was the 1969-1974 sketch show Monty Python's Flying Circus; since then they have produced five feature films and several stage shows. The members have also had successful solo projects, including Michael Palin's re-enactment of Around the World in Eighty Days.
