Spike is Back! Pick up a Pen!

Comic legend Spike Milligan always broke conventions and made up his own rules, and he's doing it again. In a bold and unprecedented venture, the makers of a new documentary about Spike are taking their show on the road down the east coast of Australia in August and September. Led by a life-size doll of Spike, the tour includes radio broadcasts, a live show featuring Spike's eldest daughter Laura and musician Glenn Cardier who toured with Spike, and a new documentary film.

Orange Ex Services - 6 September

Joe Cain, functions and entertainment manager at the Orange Ex-Services Club, writes:

"I watched with great interest the movie on Spike's life, what an amazing man to bring so much happiness and laughter to so many but personally struggle with depression. It was so interesting and enlightening to see the personal side of Spike's life through his family and friends - he was truly a genius and legend, thanks for bringing his story out here to regional NSW - we really appreciated it."

Rooty Hill RSL - Sunday 4 September

It was Father's Day in Australia and the Spike is Back! tour played at the Rooty Hill RSL.

On the same day there was a great article, featuring Spike's daughter Laura, in Sydney's Sunday Telegraph, in which journalist Sandra Lee wrote:

"Because it's Father's Day and because he is one of the great comic genuises of all time, I though you should know Laura Milligan will host a tribute to her late dad, Spike, and his paternal skills at Rooty Hill RSL tonight.

"The Goon Show legend was well known for his illness, but what is less known is how much he adored his children and the way he raised them for years as a single father, a parenting anomaly back in the 1960s and 70s.."
