SPIKE Milligan’s Adolf Hitler: My Part in his Downfall comes to Cardiff's New Theatre next month.

The great Irish comedian's celebrated war memoirs take to the road in this absurd and exuberant hit comedy with music, which has had both audiences and critics in stitches.

High comedy and tragedy collide, as we follow Gunner Milligan and his jazz quartet, adrift on the tide of great historic events Using Spike’s own words, the show 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.

Songs include the jazz greats Chattanooga Choo Choo, Ain’t Misbehavin’, In the Mood, Honeysuckle Rose, Kalamazoo and many more It runs between May 18 and May 22.

Tickets are available from the New Theatre box office on 029 2087 8889.
