(Kinda, as Sanjeev Bhaskar joins Palin and Gilliam)

Monty Python members Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin are to reunite to talk about their work together – and play out some classic British gameshows. 

The event will be hosted by Sanjeev Bhaskar to mark the 50th anniversary of London’s Roundhouse being an arts venue.

Full details of the content have not been revealed, but organisers promise ‘an unforgettable evening of storytelling, improvised skits, hilarity and possibly the trio’s take on some iconic British gameshows.’

Terry Gilliam, who is a Roundhouse ‘ambassador’, said: ‘As Mike and Sanjeev are such chatterboxes, it may be difficult to get a word in edgewise.  I may feel the need to perform some of my wildly interpretive dance moves in the midst of their dialogues.  A warning will be given so that the weak of stomach can exit the room in time.’

Palin added: ‘Sanjeev Bhaskar and Terry Gilliam are two of the most gifted and extraordinary talents working in Britain today. I look forward to joining them on stage to ask about money they owe me and why they took the best dressing room.'

All proceeds from the £35 tickets will go towards the Roundhouse’s work with young people from deprived backgrounds in music, media or performing arts projects.

Bhaskar said: ‘I look forward to supporting the excellent work of the Roundhouse and finding out who Terry Palin and Michael Gilliam really are and asking them what have they ever done for us?  Obviously the films, the shows and the travel, that goes without saying. But apart from that, WHAT have they ever done for us?’

The event, entitled An Englishman, An American And An Indian Walk Into A Bar… is on February 5 and tickets will be available from 10am on Wednesday.
