Following two sold-out West End seasons, MISCHIEF’s most critically acclaimed adventure THE COMEDY ABOUT SPIES is heading out on its first UK tour. ‘Bigger, better and more brilliantly bungling than ever’ (Daily Mail), don’t miss the award-winning BEST NEW PLAY (WhatsOnStage Awards 2026) from the team behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery.
When a rogue British agent pilfers plans for a top-secret weapon, CIA and KGB spies descend on London’s Piccadilly Hotel in pursuit of the elusive file. ‘Abandon yourself to the madness’ (The Times) and join a clueless young couple, a hapless actor angling for an exciting spy movie role, and enough double agents to confuse even the sharpest operative, in a mission that spirals hilariously out of control.
This ‘breathlessly funny’ (Time Out) and uproarious 1960’s spy escapade is packed with confused missions, tangled identities, and catastrophic miscommunication, guaranteed to ‘leave you crying helpless tears of laughter.’ (Guardian).
