is one of the original six creators of “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” which began life on BBCTV in 1969. They eventually made five feature films, including two of the top ten comedy movies of all time. Eric, together with longtime collaborator and Composer John Du Prez, adapted The Holy Grail into the record-breaking musical Monty Python’s Spamalot, which ran for almost five years on Broadway. It was nominated for 13 Tonys, winning 3, including Best Director for Mike Nichols and the Tony Award® for Best Musical in 2005, plus a Drama Desk Award and a Grammy® for the authors. They then created a Comic Oratorio Not The Messiah, He’s a Very Naughty Boy based on Monty Python’s Life of Brian, which premiered in Toronto, and played The Sydney Opera House, The Hollywood Bowl, Wolf Trap, and Carnegie Hall and was eventually filmed with most of the Pythons at The Royal Albert Hall for the 40th Anniversary of Monty Python. Eric wrote, directed and starred in The Rutles, the world’s first mockumentary, and in 2012 he sang his own song “Always Look On the Bright Side of Life” before a billion people at the Closing Ceremony of the London Olympics. In 2014 he directed and appeared alongside conductor John Du Prez in the Monty Python final reunion show One Down Five To Go, which sold out London’s O2 Arena for ten nights. In 2018, his Sortabiography Always Look on the Bright of Life became a New York Times Best seller. In 2019 he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which he survived thanks to early diagnosis and great doctors. Following his appearance on “The Masked Singer” in 2022, he launched The Bright Side Fund (Standup2Cancer/Eric Idle) to help fund Research. His musical play What About Dick? with songs by JDP is currently playing on Netflix.
Born in 1946, he was so lucky to grow up in the World Heritage City of Bath with its International Festival and rich musical life. In 1965, armed with a bed roll and tape recorder, he collected and studied Sicilian folk music, which won him a Trevelyan Scholarship to Oxford. There, he studied Mandarin Chinese (of course) and spent a year in Hong Kong during which he was Principal Horn of the HK Philharmonic. Then on to London to gain a music degree and ARCM diploma and join the staff of London University. Meeting the Pythons in 1978, he started writing film music (Life of Brian) and having multiple chart success with Modern Romance. Their club hit “Everybody Salsa” won MR the New York DJ Syndicate 1981 award for Best New Band. He has scored more than 20 feature films including The Meaning of Life, A Private Function, A Fish Called Wanda, Once Bitten, UHF and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (with its platinum soundtrack album). Other Python projects include the Contractual Obligation Album, Monty Python at the Hollywood Bowl and editing The Monty Python Song Book. In 2001, he co-wrote Monty Python’s Spamalot with Eric Idle which won them both Grammys®, the 2005 Tony for Best Musical and a Tony nomination for the score. He conducted their comic oratorio Not The Messiah on a world tour, which included Sydney Opera House, Hollywood Bowl (LA Phil) and finally the Albert Hall (BBC Symphony) for the Python 40th Anniversary. He was MD for the London O2 Arena farewell concerts - Monty Python Live (Mostly) - and recently scored the BAFTA Award-winning animation series “The Clangers”. For more info see johnduprez.com.
