Spike Milligan’s Adolf Hitler: My Part In His Downfall sees the much-loved comedian’s celebrated war memoirs finally brought to the stage.

An anarchic odyssey, Spike Milligan’s Adolf Hitler: My Part In His Downfall charts Gunner Milligan’s progress through World War Two. With Milligan’s sense of lunacy, anything can happen along the way! High comedy and tragedy collide, as audiences follow him and his jazz quartet, adrift on the tide of great historic events.

Using his own words, Spike Milligan’s Adolf Hitler: My Part In His Downfall 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.

Spike Milligan’s Adolf Hitler: My Part In His Downfall plays at Hampstead theatre following its world premiere at the Bristol Old Vic and prior to a UK tour.

Warning: Spike Milligan’s Adolf Hitler: My Part In His Downfall contains barrack room humour!
