We went to see Eric Idle and John Cleese over in Dallas tonight. The show
was them basically reminiscing about their careers and doing some sketch
comedy and singing Monty Python songs, encouraging us to sing along.

The audience was full of people who'd grown up with Monty Python, or who
had discovered it as adults when PBS started airing it over here in the
late 70s and early 80s, which means that it was a sold-out show full of
people from their 30s to their 70s, all happily singing "Sit On My Face."

Oh, that sounds like so much fun!

We enjoyed it! (The drive back not so much, as it was an hour away on angry highways. XD)

I had a similar opportunity once, with Sir Peter Ustinov in his One-Man-Show showing up in Nuremberg's Meistersingerhalle, of all places, while I was a student in Erlangen, right next door. I begged for this as a birthday present and it was expensive and amazing, and not even half the seats were full. He did it in awesome German, around 2 hours, no real break and I wish I'd had the nerve to start a standing ovation.

In other words, yay for seeing awesome people being awesome.

Nice! :D

Texas audiences are easy: there's been a standing ovation at pretty much every show I've been to.
