Spike at Richmond Theatre, review

There is still lots of fun to be had for Goon aficionados.

Jane Darcy, The Reviews Hub, 9th November 2022

Spike review

Aficionados of The Goon Show clearly enjoyed the play hugely, noisily showing their appreciation at the curtain calls, but I wonder if it will introduce Spike to a new, younger audience. If it doesn't, it is a shame, as he was a huge talent, very influential on all forms of comedy.

This Milligan portrait lacks hilarity and heft.

Spike review

This affectionate and spirited tribute similarly lacks surprise - although it will serve as nostalgia for those who remember the show, as the age demographic of the audience attests.
