Spike Milligan's celebrated war memoirs are finally brought to the stage. This anarchic odyssey charts Gunner Milligan's progress through World War Two - and with Spike's sense of lunacy, anything can happen along the way! High comedy and tragedy collide, as we follow him and his jazz quartet, adrift on the tide of great historic events. Using Milligan's own words, the show joyously fuses comedy, song and dance - showing how humour, music and comradeship enabled a hapless bunch of young men to prevail against the might of the Nazi War machine.
