Mischief Theatre’s Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

Get tickets to Christmas Carol Goes Wrong – the smash-hit festive comedy from Mischief Theatre.

The Cornley Amateur Drama Society returns with their most ambitious production yet: Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. But as always, nothing goes to plan…

Expect collapsing sets, missing actors, technical mishaps and on-stage feuds as the Cornley crew battle to keep their show from falling apart. Will they make it to the final curtain, or will chaos reign once again?

From the multi-award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery, this festive fiasco delivers fast-paced comedy, slapstick mayhem and plenty of surprises.

Ticket Information

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong plays at Wyndham’s Theatre from 18 December 2026 to 23 January 2027 for a strictly limited season.

Don’t be a Scrooge — book now and experience the Christmas chaos live in the West End.

What’s the story?

The Cornley Amateur Drama Society is back, ready to tackle Dickens’ classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge.

But with miscommunication backstage, delays to the set, actors going missing and a growing rivalry over the lead role, their festive production quickly descends into disaster.

Packed with mishaps, misunderstandings and brilliantly timed chaos, this is A Christmas Carol like you’ve never seen before.
