 beyond the fringe March 7, 2000
11 out of 13 found this review helpful
if this is, as i understand it to be, the same performance that used to be billed as "Monty Python Meets Beyond the Fringe," it is one of the most hilarious movies ever made. Beyond the Fringe, featuring Alan Bennet, Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, and that other guy, are similar to the best satire and ROTFL Python stuff, but better. Plus, you get a wonderful live version of the dead parrot sketch that may be the best ever recorded anywhere. ! an absolute must for comedy fans, python fans, derek and clive fans, and right thinking people generally.
 Good Material, Bad Editing April 27, 2002

As a fan of Monty Python, Beyond the Fringe, and Peter Cook, I enjoyed this tape, although one wishes the sound and picture quality were better. Among other things, you get Cook cast as a mass, mass murderer in a sketch that is a combination of differant Monty Python TV sketches, you get to see John Cleese and Micheal corpsing as they do the Dead Parrot sketch, and you see Cook doing his miner monologue and later on talking to a very disinterested man who's trying to read his newspaper about subjects such as intestines. Not being a Dame Edna fan I don't particularly like "her" bit. But this is a minor complaint. What really annoys me is the editing. Most of the skits are truncated, as we are switched from what's going on on stage to what's happening behind the scenes. While some of the behind the scenes stuff is interesting, it interrupts the flow of the onstage comedy.
