Synopsis
Pleasure At Her Majesty's:
The first of the Amnesty International comedy benefit galas. The title is a play on the phrase at Her Majesty’s pleasure (the show was performed at Her Majesty’s Theatre, London). This show came to be considered part of the Secret Policeman’s Ball series of shows that it inspired, although it pre-dated the first show in the series by three years. The event was organized by a team of three: Monty Python member John Cleese, Amnesty’s Assistant Director Peter Luff and Transatlantic Records executive Martin Lewis. It featured the cream of Britain’s comedic talent of the era, setting a precedent that would inspire many subsequent Amnesty galas…
Secret Policeman's Ball:
A series of benefit concerts to raise money for Amnesty International. Performances include comedy skits and musical numbers by a varied cast of mostly British performers. Featuring several Monty Python members, Rowan Atkinson, and Peter Cook.
