Spike review
The post-show Q&A with Nick Newman and Ian Hislop proved more enlightening, and often funnier.
David Upton, British Theatre Guide, 16th November 2022Spike at Richmond Theatre, review
If the writing hereabouts is top notch then the acting is superb.
John O'Brien, London Theatre 1, 9th November 2022Theatre reviews: Spike
The script for Ian Hislop and Nick Newman's affectionate tribute to Spike Milligan never quite soars, but Spike is still a meticulous recreation of one of the most influential comedy shows ever, writes Susan Mansfield.
Susan Mansfield, The Scotsman, 4th November 2022Spike - King's Theatre, Glasgow review
Spike is Spike Milligan, and this play gives us a glimpse into the man's life through his creation and run of The Goon Show, a now often forgotten (and now often politically incorrect) 1950s radio comedy show which mostly lives on today, as the announcer concludes the show pointing out, through the people it has influenced.
Oliver Giggins, North West End UK, 3rd 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.

British Comedy Guide, 2nd December 2020Gavin & Stacey: Bringing a crackin' Christmas to Barry
Oh! What's occurring? Christmas on Barry Island, that's what. Ten years since we left the fab four - Gavin, Stacey, Nessa and Smithy - on the Welsh seafront, they're back with a festive special that will have you cackling over your Christmas pudding and blubbing into your Babycham. Probably at the same time.
