LAUGHTER IS THEIR ONLY WEAPON
Brace yourself for hilarious mayhem and a not-so-secret mission with Mischief's newest action-packed adventure The Comedy About Spies.
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.
Mischief, the multi award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery, bring an uproarious 1960's spy escapade, bursting with bungled missions, tangled identities, and miscommunication that's anything but covert.
This revised and updated edition was published to coincide with return of the original cast to the West End production in August 2026.
