Biografie
Eric Idle is an English comedian, actor, author, singer, playwright, director, and songwriter. As co-creator of Monty Python, he has performed on TV and stage, and in five films including Life of Brian and The Holy Grail, which he later adapted for the stage with John Du Prez as Monty Python's Spamalot, winning the Tony Award for Best Musical in 2005 and also a Grammy Award and a Drama Desk Award. The musical played for almost five years on Broadway.
He and Mr. Du Prez also wrote the comic oratorio Not the Messiah, He's a Very Naughty Boy in 2007, which played 'round the world and was filmed live at The Royal Albert Hall; and a musical play, What About Dick? He created and directed the first mockumentary, The Rutles, for NBC; starred as Ko-Ko in the English National Opera version of The Mikado in London and Houston; and appeared last year in The Pirates of Penzance in Central Park. He is also one of the conceivers of the musical Seussical. In 2012, he appeared live in front of a billion people worldwide singing his song "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" at the Closing Ceremony of the London Olympics.
He created, directed, and appeared in the sold-out final Monty Python reunion show One Down, Five to Go at London's O2 Arena for ten nights, with the last performance broadcast live 'round the world. He has acted in movies such as Nuns on the Run, Splitting Heirs, Casper, Shrek the Third, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen; and written two novels as well as The Greedy Bastard Diary and a West End play.
