From the irrepressible comic genius behind The Goon Show comes a riotous collection of wit, anecdote, and absurdist humour that is quintessentially Harry Secombe. Goon for Lunch presents a gloriously entertaining miscellany drawn from the life and mind of one of Britain's most beloved entertainers — a man who brought anarchic laughter to a post-war nation and never once lost his infectious, roaring joie de vivre. With characteristic warmth and self-deprecating charm, Secombe chronicles the madcap world he inhabited alongside Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers, serving up a generous helping of comic writing that is as nourishing as it is hilarious. Secombe's prose style mirrors his stage persona: big-hearted, boisterous, and utterly disarming, with an instinct for the absurd that places him firmly in the great tradition of British comic writing. This collection illustrates the full range of his talent — not merely as a performer but as a genuine literary wit — and stands as a testament to a generation of comedy that permanently reshaped British culture. For fans of classic British humour, this is a feast that leaves you hungry for more.
