British Comedy Guide, 17th April 2024Spike at Richmond Theatre, review
There is still lots of fun to be had for Goon aficionados.
Jane Darcy, The Reviews Hub, 9th November 2022Spike - Darlington Hippodrome review
Spike is tonally unsteady, haphazard and inconsistent. And although both Milligan and The Goon Show could also be described in this way, one can't help but feel that they both deserve something better than this.
Mark Clegg, The Reviews Hub, 19th October 2022Spike 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.
London Theatre 1, 12th October 2022Spike review
Fast-paced portrait of Spike Milligan hurls us between the comic's anarchic Goon Show sketches, cartoonish clashes with the BBC and the trauma of war.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 1st February 2022Spike, review
Ian Hislop and Nick Newman's show about Spike Milligan, at the Watermill, should delight his many fans but may not recruit new ones
Tristram Fane Saunders, The Telegraph, 1st February 2022Spike review
Ian Hislop and Nick Newman capture Milligan's genius.
