<p>Friday, October 9, 2009 at 5:27PM  To mark the 40th anniversary of the creation of Monty Python and the troupe's lifetime achievements, IFC and BAFTA are reuniting Monty Python for a red carpet screening of Almost the Truth, a new documentary which tells the Python phenomenon from start to finish. The event will be held on October 15th at 7PM at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York City.</p>

<p>> The complete Python troupe John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin and even the late Graham Chapman will attend this official Python reunion event, which will include a screening of the theatrical version of the Original IFC documentary Monty Python: Almost the Truth (The Lawyer’s Cut). Following the screening, all five surviving members of the Monty Python team will sit down for a Q&A discussion and will be presented with a Special Award from BAFTA to honor their outstanding contribution to film and television.</p>

<p>"This event will be a part of pop culture history. IFC is honored to co-host this celebratory occasion and air the definitive documentary tribute to one of comedy’s greatest legends," said Jennifer Caserta, executive vice president and general manager of IFC. "Everyone has their favorite Python moments, and they continue to inspire new generations of comedians. This premiere will be the grand finale of an entire year of original alternative comedy on IFC."</p>

<p>Following the screening, IFC plans to kick off a Python-a-thon by airing a 6-part, extra lengthy version of this documentary starting Sunday, Oct. 18th.</p>

<p>Here's the deal: we have ONE PAIR of passes to the screening and ONE DVD of the documentary to give away. If you're able to attend the screening, enter that one. If you live far away from Midtown, New York, shoot for the DVD.</p>

It's a densely woven mix of in-studio routines with instrumental backing tracks, live club material recorded at The Purple Onion, bent phone messages, and songs that seem sampled from Ernie of Bert & Ernie. The album came out yesterday and is available for purchase here. Check out Brent when he comes to Comix on Weinbachtober 7th.</p>

<p>The Apiary | Post a Comment tagged Brent Weinbach , Talent Moat , The Night Shift in Giveaways Wednesday Sep 16 2009  GIVEAWAY | Tickets to The Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival</p>
<p>Wednesday, September 16, 2009 at 12:22PM The Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival kicks off tomorrow night with shows scheduled at Union Hall and the Bell House through Sunday.</p>

<p>TimeOut NY just published a nice article about it which says:</p>

<p>> Beyond catching the elusive Kitson, there are a few festival requirements. First, there's the Opening Night party, with a lineup that includes Kristen Schaal, Pete Holmes, Jon Benjamin, Mirman himself, a VIP room made out of cardboard and an entire roasted pig. Next, a welcome reunion of Mirman and Bobby Tisdale’s long-running Invite Them Up promises both John Hodgman’s stoic, erudite persona dishing fabricated facts, and Reggie Watts’ menagerie of characters backed by flurries of virtuosic beat-boxing. Lastly, there’s something called the Comedians of Law & Order—another ridiculous conceit that features a stellar lineup (A.D. Miles, Zak Orth and Jim Gaffigan). As Mirman says, "It's silly and it's a festival."</p>

<p>The promoters were kind enough to offer pairs of passes to the following shows:</p>

<p>SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19</p>
<p>*Early Show: I'll Be Famous in 5 Years (or a Copywriter / Audience Coordinator)</p>
<p>With Hannibal Buress, Kumail Nanjiani, Brent Sullivan, Patrick Borelli and more.</p>
<p>18+ Time: Doors: 6p, Show: 630p, Bell House, $10</p>

<p>*Late Show: The Comedians of Law and Order</p>
<p>What is this show? Basically, it's comedians who we like who've been on at least one of the 9 different Law and Orders, including Zak Orth, AD Miles and more very special guests.</p>
<p>21+ Doors: 830p, Show: 9pm, Bell House, $15</p>

<p>SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20</p>
<p>*Panel: Why Talented People Create Terrible Shows</p>
<p>Eric Slovin and Leo Allen host a panel of comedians, executives and industry people discussing why so many talented people make such terrible shows.</p>
<p>18+ Doors at 3p, Show at 3:30pm, Bell House, $7</p>

<p>HOW TO BE A WINNER</p>
<p>1) Put "Tickets to The Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival" in the subject line of an email addressed to theapiary@gmail.com. Please tell us which of the three shows you'd most like to attend.</p>
<p>2) Send that email by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT EST (9/16).</p>
<p>3) If you win, tell your friends via your blog or a Facebook bulletin that The Apiary made you a winner.</p>

<p>Winning entrants will be selected at random and notified TOMORROW. If you like winning stuff, check back every day this week for more prizes.</p>

<p>AIRFARE IS NOT INCLUDED! You should live in NYC area if you'd like to enter.</p>
