I was asked earlier this year to do a tribute to Monty Python for the special features of the DVD release of the upcoming documentary Monty Python: Almost the Truth. I chose to do a take off of the Dead Parrot sketch, substituting a baby for the parrot. Unfortunately I just recently received notification that the section that my video was slated to be in was dropped from the final product. So up the video goes here.
Please note that I was given a very short amount of time to get the video done, so the quality will jump back and forth a bit and it may seem a little rushed. If I had more time I would have done things differently but this was the best I could do at the time under the constraints.
The DVD will be released on October 27th and it can be purchased here:
amazon.com/Monthy-Python-Almost-John-Cleese/dp/B002FE5XU6
The documentary will air Oct.18-Oct.23 on IFC at 9:00pm EST.
Special thanks to Steven Seller for the opportunity. Check out some of his vids at:

Also to everyone who helped out on the shoot:
Patrick and Jerry at 321 Production

Claudia Nerey
And to Kate for pretending to be a dude.
