Monty Python Live adds five more dates
Monty Python Live is fully sold out... so yet another five dates for the show at the O2 Arena have now been arranged.
Today's news confirms the team will now also perform on the 15, 16, 18, 19 and 20 July 2014.
Tickets will go on-sale at 10am on Friday 29th November 2013.
Demand is expected to be extremely high. Tickets for the first reunion performance on the 1st July sold out in a record 43.5 seconds. A further four extra dates (2nd - 5th July) went on sale immediately, and sold out shortly afterwards. In total, over 14,500 tickets were sold within an hour of becoming available.
On announcing the extra dates, John Cleese said: "The response to our planned reunion has been very, very silly. But, we're all touched that so many fans still want to see such old people perform. So we're delighted to be adding more dates to the run at the O2."
