History of Ponty Mython

 

 

Ponty Mython began at a bar called the Windsor Arms in 1997, where the cast were regulars.

Each member of the cast was involved in comedy in some fashion, mostly on television. One

fateful night in October, the troupe were all present at the pub when John Leecs, in a drunken

haze, began spouting nonsensical phrases from a Hungarian phrasebook, and this became

known as the now famous dirty Johnny sketch. This became the group’s pilot episode when they

formed the Flying Cavalcade of Whimsy. Later, in 1999, the group formed Ponty Mython’s Flying

Cavalcade of Whimsy. This TV series ran from 1999 to 2003 when the group disbanded with their

final movie, Ponty Mython in 2003, opening as a box office smash all over the world.
