This second superb collected work of one of Britain's best-loved comedians is an excellent companion to the sensational original, The Essential Spike Milligan. Spanning his 50-year career and incorporating a rich and varied range of material, this second anthology is as wonderfully unmissable as the first.
Spike Milligan was born in 1918. In the 1950s he wrote and performed in The Goon Show with Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe, and in the 1960s he had success as a stage and film actor. Active into his eighties, his one-man shows were always sell-out events. Milligan received lifetime achievement awards for writing and for comedy in 2000 and 2001. He died in 2002.
Praise for The Essential Spike Milligan: 'A wonderful anthology...a superbly sustained piece of comedy. Like so much else in this collection, these excerpts inspire a return to the source.' The Times 'Successfully shows why Spike Milligan deserves his place at the heart of British comedy.' TLS
