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

Oh look, what a shock. She’s writing about a mischief show again. But let’s be honest here, is that really a surprise? Mischief Theatre has something that just keeps on dragging me back, and the most addictive of the lot for me, ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’. People may, and do, ask me why I keep seeing it, how on Earth I am not bored of it yet and I give the same answer every time. How can I get bored of something that is different every single time. Different cast combinations

So, it turns out that going wrong isn’t always a bad thing. Who would have thought that a little play about a drama company trying to put on a play when everything that could go wrong does exactly that would become one of the most successful stage comedies around? But here we are. That little show that started its life in a pub theatre is now a huge hit. It’s about to celebrate its eighth birthday and has become the longest running show ever to play in London’s Duchess Theatr

The show must go on. It’s an age old saying in the world of theatre, and it’s one that celebrates the hard-working individuals who do just that; ensure that the show can indeed go on. Understudies and swings are perhaps among the most needed members of a theatrical company, for they can cover multiple roles and are able to step in at the drop of a hat. That being said, the understudies (for reasons that I will never understand) are sometimes underappreciated, and some people

Most people have a favourite movie, favourite tv show, something to watch that they never tire of, and most theatre fans have their favourite show that just keeps tempting them back over and over again. And with whatever it is that you watch repeatedly, be a tv show, a film or a theatrical production, there always seems to be the same sort of questions asked. ‘How can you watch it over and over without getting bored?’, ‘How can you still find it funny or entertaining when you

‘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
