Surviving Spike Milligan: A Voyage Through the Mind and Mirth of the Master Goon

Comedy writer John Antrobus takes the reader on a magical mystery tour around the mind of Spike Milligan. Enter a world of words, written absurdities and crazy conversations. Abandoning army life. Antrobus arrives at Milligan's office where a sign reads 'Do not disturb, I'm disturbed enough already ' They went on to write several Goon shows together, the surreal comedy play The Bedsitting Room, and many TV sketches. Comrades together, John and Spike produced laughter for the world and John continues that tradition gloriously within these pages. This book is an hysterically funny evocation of mad times with scenes you could never invent.
