The Comedy About Spies

Whether or not you've seen one of theirs before, this show makes a blinding night out! The geniuses at Mischief Theatre are back with an uproarious new production, The Comedy About Spies, an action-packed affair full of cool stunts, priceless gags, physical comedy and hilarious routines, all telling a very tall tale indeed. Misunderstandings, miscommunication and mistaken identity take to the stage in a show tipped to be just as funny as the other plays and productions from this riotous team.

A comedy thriller set in 1960s London, it tells the story of a rogue British agent who has stolen the plans for a new top secret weapon. The CIA and KGB send their spies to meet in the Piccadilly Hotel, to see if they can find the mole and get the plans back. When three actors in town to audition for the title role in the first James Bond film arrive at the hotel, things soon get horribly confusing. It looks Mischief Theatre's Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields have gone and done it again, adding to their already excellent portfolio of laughs: The Play That Goes Wrong the TV series The Goes Wrong Show, The Comedy About A Bank Robbery, Magic Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, Mind Mangler, and Mischief Movie Night. Expect a hilarious night out with a big feel-good factor.

Clever, frenzied, funny and adorably daft. An awesome show from a very gifted group.

Comedy of spies
This show is absolutely outstanding, the acting, script, special effects, did not want it to end, brilliant show

Laughs from start to end
The laughter started in the first minute of the show and kept going to the end. It is a very particular kind of humour – very slapstick and farcical but not crude. The set was very clever – I particularly liked the way that the bedrooms were done! The storyline isn’t particularly strong, but that’s not why you’d go to see the show
