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.

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
