"Stephen Fry has hailed Monty Python after joining them on stage at the O2 last night, saying that they broke &amp;quot;every rule going&amp;quot;. Fry was an unannounced guest at Tuesday night&amp;#039;s (July 1) opening night of Monty Python Live (Mostly): One Down, Five to Go.  Describing Monty Python as his childhood heroes, Fry told The Telegraph: &amp;quot;It was totally dismissive of the idea of a shaped sketch with a punch line, it was totally dismissive of the idea that characters had to be real in any particular way. &amp;quot;My parents thought they were peculiar, vulgar, just not funny, very odd, which is what you want your parents to think of anything you like. If your parents like what you like then there&amp;#039;s something seriously wrong.&amp;quot; Oh my days. Just seen @montypython @TheO2 - in fact I made a little surprise appearance. Felt like being on stage with the Beatles *sigh* ! &amp;amp;mdash; Stephen Fry (@stephenfry) July 1, 2014 Fry joined the Pythons on stage during a &amp;#039;Celebrity Blackmail&amp;#039; sketch, where he was presented to the audience with a jute bag over his head while they &amp;#039;guessed&amp;#039; whether he was a celebrity or not. The Monty Python residency continues at the O2 tonight (July 2) until Saturday, July 5, then resumes for further shows from July 15-20. The group&amp;#039;s final show will be broadcast live on Gold in the UK, and simulcast to cinemas. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
