Monty Python Live: Bloody Good, Says Twitter
The Twitter reaction is in: “Monty Python Live” is, you know, a goer. Nudge, nudge.
The men of Monty Python’s “Septuagenarian Reunion Tour” were a smash hit Tuesday night at the O2 Arena, the first of a 10-show run over two weeks at the London venue.

Glad to report that #montypythonlive was excellent. They’re still some of the funniest men who ever drew breath.

British Comedy blog Chortle was more measured in its review, complaining that some of the all-too-familiar sketches “fell flat” and called the performances “patchy.” But a nod’s as good as a wink to a blind bat, and they praised what innovations were there:
“Yet by offering new twists of presentation, they sometimes make something new — the creative, choreographic work-around for the fact that John Cleese can no longer do the silly walks, for example, was a hit.
That’s social media for you — always looking on the bright side of life.
