The surviving members of Monty Python will reunite for their first stage show in decades, Terry Jones has confirmed to the BBC.

“We’re getting together and putting on a show – it’s real,” Jones said. “I’m quite excited about it. I hope it makes us a lot of money. I hope to be able to pay off my mortgage!”

Though Jones, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, and Michael Palin have been tight-lipped about the details, a press conference is planned for this Thursday.

“Python meeting this morning. Can’t wait. Press Conference Thursday will apparently be live on Sky News. I’ll get you the online URL,” Idle tweeted on Tuesday.

The group was last seen together at the Aspen Comedy Festival in 1998 when the sat down for an interview and performed a few bits.
