    • Rogue agents, top-secret files, and botched missions—London's Piccadilly Hotel has got more twists than a shaken martini in this riotous spy comedy.

    A New Mission from Mischief

    Get ready for chaotic capers and espionage gone spectacularly sideways as Mischief unveils its latest laugh riot, The Comedy About Spies, infiltrating the Noël Coward Theatre from April 2025.

    From the masterminds behind The Play That Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery comes a side-splitting 1960s spy escapade, brimming with bungled ops, misfiring gadgets, and enough mistaken identities to make MI6 blush.

    When a rogue agent nabs blueprints for a top-secret weapon, the CIA, KGB, and a medley of clueless bystanders descend on London’s Piccadilly Hotel. Toss in a wannabe Bond, a baffled couple, and double agents galore, and you’ve got a mission spiraling hilariously out of control.

    Featuring original Mischief members, this undercover comedy is armed with sharp wit and slapstick brilliance.

    16 weeks only – where laughs are licensed to thrill!
