The comedy troupe Monty Python will be reuniting for a series of live stage shows.

The live shows of Monty Python will be at London's 02 Arena this July. Deadline reports that the reunion will be broadcast to cinemas around the UK, U.S., Australia, Russia and Sweden.

The last show of the "final reunion, sort of" is reportedly set to begin July 1 for 10 dates. Monty Python fans will be able to witness the live shows of Eric Idle, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin and Terry Jones.

A press release had noted that the combined age of the cast is nearly 361.

The stars of the comedy troupe haven't performed together since 1980, which is getting fans even more revved up and excited for the shows.

After the reunion was announced November of last year, the group stated, "Thanks to the wonderful invention of moving pictures, 'The Last Night of Monty Python' is coming to a cinema near you."

The group continued, "Get your knotted handkerchiefs out and warm your brains one last time at any one of the 450 cinemas across the UK, and 1,500 across the world."

The comedy troupe added, "Join the crowd live from London's O2 in a final weepy, hilarious, uproarious, outrageous, farewell to the five remaining Pythons as they head for The Old Jokes Home... on the big screen, in HD."

Rumors that Monty Python may be planning a more extensive world tour were shut down when the popular comedy troupe confirmed that this would be their last performance together.

According to The Telegraph, Monty Python recently released a new song called "The Silly Walks Song," their first original material since 1999.

UK cinema tickets will go on sale from tomorrow.

Monty Python member Michael Palin stated, "The very last night of the Pythons, our last show ever, is going to take place on the 20th of July, 2014."

Palin jokingly added, "Be there or, err, don't be there if you don't want to."
