The tight cast was great. They played off each other so effectively. I got a bit lost just before the intermission, but the 2nd half really brought it home. The sets were really clever

London, prepare for a comedy caper like no other! Noël Coward Theatre transforms into a hilariously chaotic espionage hub as Mischief presents their latest uproarious creation, The Comedy About Spies.

Set in the swinging 1960s, this laugh-out-loud spy spoof delivers bungled missions, tangled identities, and a trail of mishaps that would make even the most seasoned secret agent surrender. The plot? A rogue British agent has stolen plans for a top-secret weapon, setting off a farcical chase as CIA and KGB spies converge on London’s Piccadilly Hotel. Throw in a starstruck actor dreaming of playing James Bond, a clueless young couple, and enough double agents to turn your head, and you’ve got a mission that’s more hilarious than covert.

The cast includes Adele James, fresh from her award-winning turn as Cleopatra in Queen Cleopatra (Netflix), and Mischief co-founders Henry Lewis, Dave Hearn (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker alum), and Henry Shields, whose Olivier Award-winning comedic brilliance has entertained audiences in over 50 countries.

Mischief, the team behind The Play That Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery, promise another side-splitting production where laughter is the ultimate weapon. Grab your tickets—this mission is too funny to fail!

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.
