The Comedy About Spies starts performances in the West End

Mischief’s new production, The Comedy About Spies, arrives in the West End today, 14 April.

Brought to you by the team behind The Play That Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery, the show will play at the Noël Coward Theatre in London until 5 September 2025. An official gala opening is scheduled for Tuesday, 13 May.

Set in 1960s London, The Comedy About Spies is described as a farcical comedy involving spies from the CIA and KGB converging at a London hotel in pursuit of a rogue British agent and a stolen top-secret file. The plot thickens with the arrival of a British couple and an actor auditioning for the role of James Bond.
