Monty Python's surviving members have reluctantly decided that their tenth and final gig at the O2 Arena in London on July 20 will probably be their last live performance together.

Bridget Christie has picked up yet another award nomination today. The Foster’s Award winner, Sky Arts South Bank Award winner and double Chortle Award winner has picked up a nomination this lunchtime from the Radio Academy Awards for her Radio 4 series, Mind The Gap.
Dara Ó’Briain and Tommy Tiernan are the two big homegrown stars of this year’s Sky Cat Laughs line-up, announced today. The 20th festival, which takes place in Kilkenny from May 29 to June 2 boasts an impressive mix of Irish and international talent, also including Scottish superstar Kevin Bridges.
Further Irish stars are Ardal O’Hanlon, Des Bishop, Barry Murphy, Jason Byrne, Bernard O’Shea, Neil Delamere, David O’Doherty, Colin Murphy, Colm O’Regan, Karl Spain, Eleanor Tiernan and Chris Kent.
Simon Amstell is the latest big name to be added to the line-up of the Latitude Festival, which takes place in Henham Park, Suffolk from July 17 - 20. The comedian has been working on new material at the Invisible Dot club in London in recent weeks so this may be the first major public outing for his latest show, which, among other things, may discuss the controversy he briefly became involved in when he made a remark about apartheid on BBC Radio shortly after the death of Nelson Mandela.
