French Monty Python show??

I remember awhile ago when Spamalot opened on Broadway I was talking to my brother about a Monty Python show. His first response when I mentioned this was "the french one?" I asked him what he meant by that and he said that when he was in London he either saw or heard of a show where they were doing Monty Python skits in french with subtitles in English on the side.

Anyone hear of a show like this and can shed some light on the subject.

I know that I can always rely on the friendly people here on the West End forum for my questions like this.

I didn't see it but it was in Edinburgh in 03 then did the Riverside Studios in 05 and performed succesfully in Paris and France before that.

It was a troupe of French comic performers who performed the original Python sketches and songs in French with a few tweaks for translation i.e. the song lyrics for 'sit on my face' became 'come in my mouth' and they had recieved the approval to do so the show by the Python team.
