The Seventh Python to play at The Met
Leading live arts venue, The Met is proud to welcome Neil Innes on Saturday 1st April at 8pm.
Neil Innes has had an amazing career spanning nearly forty years. His most famous collaboration was with Monty Python, (which gained him the title of the seventh Python). He has collaborated with the Python crew on films, albums and tours and went on to feature in Do not Adjust Your Set, with Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, David Jason and Denise Coffey. You can currently see Neil’s songs in Eric Idle’s new musical, Spamalot, due in the west end this year.A former member of the Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band, he had a hit very early on in his career with ‘I am the Urban Spaceman’. He has also presented a wide variety of children’s television programmes, including the award-winning Book Tower, Puddle Lane, Eric the Viking plus scripts and voices for the Raggy Dolls.
“Probably the most important figure in British musical comedy since the heyday of vaudeville, Neil Innes is that rarity among musical comedians, a side-splitting satirist who can also write perfectly straightforward, catchy pop songs.” allmusic.com
