World premiere of Mischief’s THE COMEDY ABOUT SPIES extends West End run until Sept 2025

It has been announced that an extra 30,000 tickets for Mischief’s brand new West End show, The Comedy About Spies, have been released, with the show extending at the Noel Coward Theatre until 5 September 2025 due to phenomenal demand.

The Comedy About Spies previously announced the cast which includes members of the original Mischief Company - Dave Hearn, Chris Leask, Henry Lewis, Charlie Russell, Henry Shields, Greg Tannahill, Nancy Zamit and Adele James. The cast is completed by Macadie Amoroso, Adam Byron, Matt Cavendish, Allie Dart, Niall Ransome, and Ashley Tucker.

Mischief, the multi award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery, bring an uproarious 1960’s spy escapade, bursting with bungled missions, tangled identities, and miscommunication that’s anything but covert to London from 14 April.

When a rogue British agent pilfers plans for a top-secret weapon, CIA and KGB spies converge on London’s Piccadilly Hotel in pursuit of the elusive file. Add to the mix a clueless young couple, a hapless actor angling for the role of James Bond, and enough double agents to confuse even the sharpest operative, and you've got a mission that’s hilariously out of control.

Written by original Mischief Company members Henry Lewis and Henry Shields, The Comedy About Spies is directed by Matt DiCarlo, with set design by David Farley, costumes by Deborah Andrews, movement direction by Shelley Maxwell, lighting by Johanna Town, sound design and music by Jon Fiber for JollyGoodTunes, casting by Lucy Jenkins CDG & Sooki McShane CDG, and additional casting by Heather Basten CDG CSA.
