Тhe farewell show of the British comedy group Monty Python was screened as а part of Sofia Film Fest 2014. On 25 November 2013, they announced that they would do a final reunion on stage (to raise money for retirement, as they specified) after 16 years since their last performance together and 45 years since their formation. Their show at the O2 Arena sold out in 43.5 seconds and nine more dates followed. The three-and-a-half hour show brought together songs, animated interludes and live sketches from their extensive career, set in a new context, as well as material that has never been shown in public. Nostalgic and mischievous and in their style surreal and chaotic, politically incorrect and witty. It has been screened in over 2000 cinemas and on television in over 100 countries. The show’s title is “Monty Python Live (Mostly)” with the optimistic addendum “One down, five to go!” – a curtsy to the sixth member of the group also known as the Beatles of comedy – Graham Chapman.
