Monty Python Society







Special Report!!! Monty Python Society invades Barnum 008 (again)!

Friday, March 3rd, 2000 marked another momentous occasion for the Monty Python Society. Since it is our tradition to co-sponsor movies with Film Series, we decided to do it again this year with the movie UHF starring "Weird Al" Yankovic. As in the past, they gave us a chance to perform skits before the movie, and we chose two of our favorites: the life raft cannibalism sketch, and the undertaker's sketch. We finished off the night with a rousing version of the Penis Song, which was a last minute addition. My camera was on hand to record this event, so you can view pictures of it below. As always, you can click on the thumbnails for a larger version.

The performers review their lines before the big performance.
