Cutting Satire & The Absurd Milligan

Well if you don’t know about the Treason Show you’re really not living in Brighton & Hove. Mark Brailsford and his band of merry mockers have been extracting the bodily fluid out of the major figures in the news now for almost as long as I can remember. Their acid sketches and razor sharp songs take no prisoners and now they are launching a new show entitled Parodies Lost featuring those excellent musical spoofs.

Parodies Lost starts on Thursday the 15th of September at The Railway Inn, in Portslade.

Tickets available here.

From hot satire now to the king of absurd comedy, a comedy genius that was part of my childhood landscape with his roles in The Goons, his comic verse and the brilliant novel Puckoon to his later BBC2 TV series that I doubt would be commissioned these days. No doubt the inspiration for Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, this is the inimitable Spike Milligan.

The play opens at Theatre Royal Brighton for a week from the 11th of October.
