About the Show

Mischief’s most critically acclaimed adventure THE COMEDY ABOUT SPIES is back, ‘bigger, better and more brilliantly bungling than ever’ (Daily Mail), with a limited 8-week mission recommencing this summer in London’s West End at the Adelphi Theatre.

Following a sold-out 2025 summer season, do not miss the award-winning BEST NEW PLAY (WhatsOnStage Awards 2026) from the hilarious team behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery.

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. ‘Abandon yourself to the madness’ (The Times) and join a clueless young couple, a hapless actor angling for an exciting spy movie role, and enough double agents to confuse even the sharpest operative, in a mission that’s hilariously out of control.

This ‘breathlessly funny’ (Time Out) and uproarious 1960’s spy escapade, bursts with enough confused missions, tangled identities, and miscommunication to ‘leave you crying helpless tears of laughter.’ (Guardian).
