Why watch The Comedy About Spies?
💫 Mischief magic strikes again
From the award-winning creators of The Play That Goes Wrong comes another roaring production, this time infiltrating the world of espionage with their trademark physical comedy.
🕵 Star-studded spy caper
Follow the classified mission along with original Mischief company members including Henry Lewis and Henry Shields (who also wrote the play) alongside rising star Adele James (of Queen Cleopatra fame).
👑 Royal approval
Already showcased at the Royal Variety Performance before His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Queen, this comedy has received the highest security clearance – and the biggest laughs – even before its official premiere.
🧨 Explosive setting
Enter the golden age of espionage as the swinging sixties provide the perfect backdrop for ensuing chaos, featuring elaborate disguises, malfunctioning spy gadgets, and enough double-crosses to make your head spin.
Written by Mischief Theatre co-founders Henry Lewis and Henry Shields, the production bears all the hallmarks of their previous smash hits – meticulous planning disguised as spectacular disaster, physical comedy that defies logic, and comedic set-pieces that build to impossibly frantic conclusions. With over a decade of celebrating laughs on the West End, the company has taken its mission of making theater fun global. Watch the ‘funniest theatre troupe in Britain’ (The Telegraph) with tickets to The Comedy About Spies now!
It’s the 1960s, in London's Piccadilly Hotel, we follow a rogue British agent who has absconded with top-secret weapon plans, triggering a convergence of CIA and KGB operatives all desperate to retrieve the classified file.
The chaos multiplies exponentially with the arrival of an unsuspecting British couple and an actor auditioning for the role of James Bond – all becoming unwitting pawns in this high-stakes game of international espionage. The operation soon turns into a peculiar series of mistaken identities and bungled missions, all gone hysterically awry.

Paranormal Activity was a clever production wasn't too sure how it would work but it did. There was suspense and jumps also had a good storyline to it and a good twist at the end.

Very well designed play and director made a great impression on the plot. Even from door 6 we had great visibility and although it was a very long in duration play time flied. Well played. For foreigners you need to understand well the English language. It is not recommended for non uk kids who don't speak fluent English as it is not a musical but a play
