The Get Him to the Greek actor will play the lead part in the Monty Python legend&amp;#039;s Los Angeles production of What About Dick?.   What About Dick? will also star fellow stand-ups Billy Connolly and Eddie Izzard, as well as actors Tracey Ullman, Sophie Winkleman and Tim Curry. Former Frasier star Jane Leeves will also appear, while Idle himself will narrate the piece, which will be presented as a radio play with actors reading from scripts.   The story, written by Idle and his long-term musical collaborator John Du Prez, is described as a &amp;quot;farcical romp&amp;quot; that follows Oxford student Dick (Brand) as he studies both philosophy and gynaecology. What About Dick? will run for four nights from April 26 to April 29 at LA&amp;#039;s Orpheum Theatre. &amp;gt; Monty Python members to reunite for film, confirms Terry Jones &amp;gt; Russell Brand migrane interrupts Hollywood stand-up show "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
