'Spike' is an absurdly funny new play by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman, that delves into the inner workings of one of our most unique and brilliantly irreverent comedy minds.
It’s 1950s austerity Britain, and out of the gloom comes Goon mania as men, women and children across the country scramble to get their ear to a wireless for another instalment of The Goon Show. While Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers get down to the serious business of becoming overnight celebrities, fellow Goon and chief writer Spike finds himself pushing the boundaries of comedy, and testing the patience of the BBC.
