Mischief Theatre has extended the West End run of its brand new show The Comedy About Spies before it has even started!
An extra 30,000 tickets have been released for the new comedy from the creators of The Play That Goes Wrong, which has been extended by four weeks at the Noël Coward Theatre in London to 5 September 2025.
The show starts its run at the Noel Coward Theatre on 14 April 2025.
Casting already announced includes members of the original Mischief Company – Dave Hearn, Chris Leask, Henry Lewis, Charlie Russell, Henry Shields, Greg Tannahill and Nancy Zamit, joined by Adele James.
Further cast announced today include Macadie Amoroso, Adam Byron, Matt Cavendish, Allie Dart, Niall Ransome and Ashley Tucker.
The Comedy About Spies is an uproarious 1960’s spy escapade, bursting with bungled missions, tangled identities, and miscommunication that’s anything but covert.
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.
The show is written by original Mischief Company members Henry Lewis and Henry Shields, and directed by Matt DiCarlo.
The wider creative team includes Set Designer David Farley, Costume Designer Deborah Andrews, Movement Director Shelley Maxwell, Lighting Designer Johanna Town, Sound Designer and Composer Jon Fiber for JollyGoodTunes, Casting by Lucy Jenkins CDG and Sooki McShane CDG, Additional Casting by Heather Basten CDG CSA, and the Associate Director is Katie-Ann McDonough.
The cast of The Comedy About Spies performed an hilarious sneak peek of the show in November at the 2024 Royal Variety Performance.
The Comedy About Spies is playing at the Noel Coward Theatre from 14 April to 5 September 2025.
Mischief is the multi award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, which continues to play at the Duchess Theatre in London.
