It’s like painting the Forth Bridge, as soon as you finish you start again. It’s only been a couple of months since the Piccadilly Hotel closed up shop at the Noel Coward Theatre when ‘The Comedy About Spies’ played its final performance (let’s hope it comes back one day) but it is no rest for the wicked for Mischief Comedy, the masters of funny, as they present their second new production of 2025 ‘Christmas Carol Goes Wrong’.   Having premiered as a BBC Festive special back

33 times?! How can you possibly see the same show 33 times and still enjoy it? Don’t you get bored?   Bored? How could I possibly get bored when this is the show that never fails to make me happy, to make me smile from ear to ear, cheer, whoop and holler, and laugh. It makes me laugh every single time.   This is The Play That Goes Wrong, my favourite, my comfort, my emotional support show, and I don’t care what people may think when I tell them how many times that I have seen

Oh look, just when you thought that she may have finally moved on and found something else to obsess over, she’s back and she’s talking about ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ again. Okay, I’ll admit, you may be starting to wonder why on earth I keep going back, or how on earth I still laugh at a comedy that I have now seen 21 times, and I hope you’ll be satisfied with my answer to those questions. One – I keep going back because it makes me happy, pure and simple. I feel a sense of

When it comes to comedy in the world of theatre, there is one company that continues to prove themselves to be at the very top of their game, and that is Mischief Comedy. With such successes as The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, The Comedy About A Bank Robbery and Mischief Movie Night already under their belts, 2022 saw the company branching out and trying new things, only adding to their success story. Magic Goes Wrong has enjoyed two west end runs and a popular

When you think of Mischief Theatre images of slapstick hilarity, showbusiness-y attempts gone wrong, and the now globally known Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society spring to mind and as much as we love this and it has been a great success for the company, recent years have seen Mischief branch out to new things. ‘Groan Ups’ saw the company step away from the old school slapstick and towards more wordplay and some more serious topics and with their newest offering ‘Good Luck, St

‘You can’t please everyone’ It’s a saying that most people have probably heard before, and many people probably do fall into the idea of being a ‘people pleaser’, but is it actually possible to please everyone? Well, that is exactly what Charlie Russell, well known for being a part of the original Mischief Theatre team, set out to do with her debut solo fringe show ‘Charlie Russell Aims To Please’. Taking suggestions from the audience gathered in the small but cosy Pleasance

Over the years, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival has acted as a launchpad for many productions and performers that are now household names with many fringe goers able to say, ‘I was there when’. Looking back to 2009, you may have stumbled across a small show in a small venue called ‘Lights Camera Improvise’, performed by a group called The Scat Pack. And from those humble beginnings, the show has changed name, the company has changed names and it is now one of the best-known com

‘Returning for yet another calamitous run! We can’t believe it either’ Mischief Comedy has achieved global fame for their unique brand of slapstick, wordplay, and improvisation, bringing their comedic talents to stages and screens all over the world much to the delight of their fans. It’s hard to believe that such success started from humble beginnings, runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and a small stage production in a pub theatre in London, but here we are. That original show th

Right, let’s start this with everything out in the open. If you were to have a scroll back through this site, you would find that I have seen and reviewed Mischief Theatre’s ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ on a fair few occasions already, and therefore, I have to admit that this stage comedy is a very firm favourite of mine. I have a huge soft spot for it, it is a show that I can just keep going back to again and again, and it will always make me laugh. I love everything that Mis
