We adored her.

I didn’t think anything could ever replace Nat King Cole in my heart at Christmas, but this…. This has. At last, a song that truly sums up the Christmas experience. Thank you, Eric.

If you’re in LA you have only three nights left to catch the hilarious Dina Martina Christmas Show at Dynasty Typewriter. Go and laugh your self silly. We did. Doors at 7.30.

New Years Eve

The other two are dead.

Spamalot’s Producer ran the entire Kennedy Center for many years and of course immediately resigned when the idiots arrived. The booking however was already made. He may enjoy them having to suck it up when Lancelot comes out. It’s somewhere else next week.

Hey @ericidle.bsky.social thanks for signing my Christmas present.

Wishing you all a merry day in the Universe with whatever you believe caused it. Be happy.

By the time Tor Top’s mother was sick with cholera, the nearby clinic had been shuttered for two weeks. He bundled her into a rented canoe and paddled toward the nearest hospital, eight hours away. Less than halfway into the journey, his mother died.

SHOUT-OUT to multi-talented International Treasure: DICK VAN DYKE! Today we celebrate his 100th year+3 days birthday. From the day I first met him (story included below) he's been an inspiration & a source of joy to his countless fans around the globe, myself included. Thank you sir 🙏 For DVD: 🎂❤️

I don't blame them one bit.

But I thought there were twelve figures on a watch…

**Solstice** 10:03am ET — Dec 21, 2025 On this day, Earth's North Pole tips away from the Sun, while the South Pole tips towards it, bringing the first day of Winter to the Northern Hemisphere with increasing daylight, and the first day of Summer to the Southern Hemisphere with decreasing daylight

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated. Read more: www.theverge.com/health/66136...

Thank them for paying towards the Holy Grail. Now we pay them back for Spamalot!

Yes I’m going to tell him to change it to the JFK center for Measles.

I am not American and I don’t vote for madmen. What suggestions do you have?

Have you seen @ericidle.bsky.social Christmas song? I think you'll like it. youtu.be/hdX3eRMXOD0?...

This is a terrific book about the creation of an exceptional show. Saw it on Broadway three times ( @therealsararamirez.bsky.social was ::swoon:: ) @ericidle.bsky.social is an international treasure.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

He's right.

New party piece just dropped. 🤣❤️

I really like Christmas but Eric Idle is a legend.

Good morning BK and #BreakfastCrew! Oh my. I mentioned I wanted to post more music. I mentioned @ericidle.bsky.social in a post to @bluebird4us.bsky.social yesterday. Eric posted a song of his yesterday. I love Eric Idle on social media! He is congenial, almost wholesome. A nice guy. But this 🤣

@ericidle.bsky.social has a new xmas song.

I love this for him. ‘Trump sued by preservation group over $300m White House ballroom project’ National Trust looks to halt construction, claiming Trump tore down historic East Wing without needed permission www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Remembering Ravi Shankar. “[Ravi has] always been like a guru and father figure, but at the same time I think mainly of him as a friend, because we joke around most of the time.” - George Harrison, in his foreword to Raga Mala (1997) Read more at www.instagram.com/reel/DSIYEpF....

From 2003, I believe this was the last time Neil Innes & @ericidle.bsky.social performed together (I know Neil had a very brief onstage cameo alongside the Pythons in Eric's NOT THE MESSIAH a few years later)...

This got age-restricted on youtube lmao

😂😂😂😂

Eric Idle. Putting the Fuck back into Fucking Christmas. @ericidle.bsky.social

Christmas Cheer!

This might be my new favorite Christmas song! (But of course the video isn't beating George's. :))

Land of Trump and Hegseth… Your go.

The no ball peace prize 😁

It’s going to be very hard to find someone to get the second peace of shit prize. I guess Putin. It’s not easy to follow a cretin who bombs fishermen.

Just arrived in the mail from The Eric Idle Archives. The Rutles Bundle. Thanks, @ericidle.bsky.social!

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!! No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

FIFA the most corrupt of the Football organizations has a peace prize and they gave it to the man who stole the Cup. This is hilarious shit.

this shit is just beyond parody, man

Santa came early, with a surprise book from Paul. I’m excited to read it.

Reform accepted £9 million from a former Boris Johnson backer & crypto-multimillionaire. Today, Nigel Farage postures as a righteous defender of the same democracy he actively undermines. Democracy should never be for sale. It's time for a cap on political donations.

I have been reading all three of Tom Holland’s brilliant books on Rome and I cannot think of any time they had a more corrupt government than the current US mob.

“Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda,” Carpenter said in a post on X.

The funniest experience watching Spamalot occurred when the cast called up an audience member, to whom they sang a song. This poor fellow was so embarrassed plus he had some long Eastern European name, giving the cast some fits. And my 8 year old daughter sang along to everything!

I haven’t seen this label used before but it seems apt. The video contains a good discussion of what “science populism” is and how it’s harmful. youtu.be/sQnOFGWsXNM?...

Ask Santa for tickets to see the new Spamalot tour coming to more than 30 cities in its first year including LA, Washington, D.C. Vegas, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Atlanta, Dallas, New Orleans, St. Louis, Houston and Milwaukee. Book now. You know you need a laugh!
