Synopsis
Enjoy some of the most hilarious moments in comedic history as John Cleese, Michael Palin, Peter Cook, Rowan Atkinson, The Goodies, and Australia’s own Barry Humphries create comic history during live performances at The Secret Policeman’s Ball, a gala benefit organised to raise funds for Amnesty International – the shows also featured the UK’s top musicians, including Pete Townshend, Sting, Bob Geldof and Eric Clapton. A priceless archive of the Golden Age of UK comedy, here are three riotous Secret Policeman’s Ball shows performed between 1976 and 1982.
Shows Include:
The Secret Policeman's Ball
Monty Python members including John Cleese and Michael Palin join up with equally witty compatriots (Rowan Atkinson, Clive James, Terry Jones) to perform outrageous skits like "Cheese Shop," "Four Yorkshiremen," "The Schoolmaster," and "The Name's The Game".
The Secret Policeman's Other Ball
More top flight hilarity from the Monty Python troupe, plus friends Peter Cook and Pamela Stephenson, in addition to musical cameos from Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, Sting, Jeff Beck and Phil Collins.
The Secret Policeman's Early Bits
A superb compilation of the best sketches from the early shows including "The Parrot Sketch", "The Lumberjack Song", "The Coal Miner", "Interesting Facts" and "The Funky Gibbon". Starring Robin Williams, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Peter Ustinov, Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, Peter Cook, and Barry Humphries.
