- Spike Milligan in rare stand-up comic mode on a 1964 Billy Cotton Band Show. Pity poor old Bill Herbert on the banjo towards the end, having to keep a straight face through all that...
Brilliant Spike and Billy C, great trumpet playing, tremendous fun
Oh man, what can you say someone get me a time machine..
Bugger my hat, what a find. Well done, Cheeseford. The important part is to watch the backing band-if they're in bits, the performer is spot on. These blokes keep a straight face for money.
😄😄
I knew Spike was a jazz trumpeter but never heard him play till I saw this, absolutely brilliant
Milligan could play the spoons just for the craic. Jazz trumpeter, pianist, guitarist, comb-and-paper; his like cannot be found anywhere in the world today.
Adam Welton ...and I think that’s a cornet he’s playing here
@@jojoUK120 I knew Spike had a kind heart but the cornet's a new one on me!
One word for Spike Milligan Genius pure Genius
+Dennis Bloodnock Dennis is should have written it different
That's three words
My all-time comic hero! Thank you.
Spike.... a true comic genius.
I like how the band got into it with Spike, giving that off-key chord when he did his "impression" of Billy.
Spike - the LEGEND !
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing this!!!
Only twenty years after that mortar round fell on him. How those guys could get on after experiencing that lot is beyond me.
And then the mental breakdowns during the Goon years.
wow- great clip !
american spike/goon fan
Been a Goon and Spike fan since the fifties but never seen this. Thanks for uploading.
Genius 👍👍👍
Absolute genius...thanks for posting this.
Superb
If you fill low down and can't find romaaaaaaaaace leap in to a dustbin and dance.
A Show Called Fred!
I love the humor of this Irishman and he knew how tho blow into that trumpet 🎺
Half Irish man. His Mother was English.
@@thewomble1509 didn't know that...that explain his sense of humour 😉
@@virginiwoolf Try and watch or read Milligan talking about his Dad. He loved him dearly but also acknowledged that he was a bit of a loony!
@@thewomble1509 thanks. I will.
Born in Poona.
Wakey WAAAA-KEYYYY!
" TOP CLASS STUFF "
I clicked thinking for some reason that this was a Spike Jones clip.
Can you imagine the two Spikes making beautiful music together?!?
It would have been twice as crazy....
This is one of the first clips I have found of Spike actually playing the trumpet- he is just fantastic! Does anyone know of any other clips like this?
He did a musical spot on one of the Q shows where he played trumpet on a jazz number.

There’s loads
What a wonderful person you are for uploading this. May your swonickles never rotate at a kilometer faster than a mile an hour Morris Minor
What-what-what-what?
The band laughing probably meant that this was not rehearsed .
He got Sonny Liston spot on.
He'd be hung out to dry for his jokes today.
Just goes to show what robust country Britain once was.
@mister kluge It is only Racist now that India owns Land Rover
@mister kluge racist this racist that. Get a life
Actually having played trumpet myself I really hated my thin European lips and envied my African-American jazz trumpet heroes and Milligan always exaggerated for effect. No-one was safe from his wit and humour is impossible if everyone is safe from this. Great to hear him play like this. So much offense is taken by groups entirely detached from the people supposedly offended.
Actually it's a cornet. But still brilliant! He was treasure and very talented😂
Ohhh lord 😂
Spike was an anarchic genius.
Oh, dear. A "thick lips" gag. He'd never get away with that today. Mainly because he's dead.
He told us he was ill :-)
Of its time.
Still funny tho
He’s probably doing it “up there” anyway.
He was amazing, full of creative energy. A complete nightmare as well to live with I'd imagine. A lot of his humour was poking fun at basic absurdities, often racially based. That was acceptable in those days. His Dad was Irish and he took the piss out of the Irish. The goons were like people celebrating the escape from world war and their targets were the elements they'd experienced such as the foreigners and the military and authorities and such.
Betta than the shet I av ta watch on the telly now
"18 marriages and still doing it..." haha...
Wahaha.brilliant.
As always sooooooo funny 😄
Oh Spike 😂
Anarchic even then.
A great turn by a genius who rewrote the Bible.
Cool2BCeltic f
Wot? King James?
@@kenlieck7756 No, have you read The Bible According To Spike Milligan?
@@Cool2BCeltic Yes I have. Been wondering where my copy is hiding actually...
I’m pretty sure he was playing Flugal Horn
No, it’s a cornet.
Is the trombonist Don Macaffer?
Love splice magdalen. He brought us up. Made us proud to be second rate, as a nation. In him we accept the fact. He spanks us into reality. Sad to see the rubber lips CC racist bit - cheap and not as good as ‘Pakistani Daleks’ which does not offend me because it is about Daleks and curry.
Surely a Cornet, not a Trumpet?
Milligan: "(Bach) never played any of mine!" Actually, Spike Milligan was a serious composer. Here's an orchestral work of his: czcams.com/video/9joUb3alavY/video.html
Yes, too bad about the Cassius Clay "joke" but, as you say, it was '64.
David Rendell excellent joke about Cassius clay, but then my mind has not been infiltrated by the press, media, and soaps on tv
If everyone took life as seriously as Spike did all the world's psychiatrists would need psychiatrists
Ooh! Little bit of racism there, Mr Milligan.
Only because you have reprocessed by the government, television, and media...... myself I stopped watching television 39 years ago when reconditioning of the Nation's brain was starting
@@davids8449 Sounds like you stopped thinking 39 years ago too.
Ouch, painfully feeble.
Growing up in Britain in the 60s and 70s we had two TV channels and had to watch these tortuous unfunny skits constantly. Absolutely bloody awful.
Not very woke eh?
Yea cos it’s really bad having thick lips.
liddy paul He didn’t say it was.
It'd be a pisser getting them knocked off, you gotta agree!
Spike could be brilliant, unfortunately he could also be racist and a misogynist.
He was a troubled man, after the trauma of the war years, and then the strain of writing the Goon Show.
And you're not a racist? Do you see race in everything? Are you in an intermarriage. No? Why not. Did you ever date interracially? Have interracial kids?
Oh - so not all bad then? :-))
