The Goons, a legendary British comedy troupe, were formed in the 1950s and revolutionized the world of radio and live performance with their unique blend of absurdity, satire, and surreal humor. The group consisted of notable members such as Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers, and Harry Secombe. They first gained fame with their radio program, 'The Goon Show,' which aired from 1951 to 1960 and became a significant influence on future comedians and entertainers. Their live performances often incorporated elements of their radio sketches, bringing to life their beloved characters and comedic routines.
