A friend of my wife is in a band that does British only music, and they joke around while playing. I picture them doing something like this.
By the way, the call themselves The Twiggenbury's and they each have a stage persona.

THe band in the clip I posted is The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band aka THe Bonzo Dog Band aka The Bonzos. The were around in the late 60s and early 70s.

The Bonzos were really the precursors of Monty Python and one of their later performances included some of the soon to become Pythons:
