Christmas Carol Goes Wrong in London

Are you ready for a generous helping of ridiculousness seasoned with plenty of silliness? A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong premieres at the West End’s Apollo Theatre for the festive season after a UK tour, crafted by the hilarious Olivier Award-winners at Mischief Theatre.

About Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

It's the ill-fated Cornley Amateur Drama Society again, back with good tidings of chaos and mayhem, about to dive into a new play: Charles Dickens’ classic festive treat A Christmas Carol. But a series of hilarious problems dog the production from the start as the Cornley crew tries and fails to avoid miscommunications, delays, missing actors and a fierce fight over who is going to play the lead role. The results is, as you'd expect, utterly disastrous as the much-loved Christmas story of Ebeneezer Scrooge is mashed, mangled and more or less destroyed. Dickens would laugh his head off, and so will you!

Best known for their smash hits The Play That Goes Wrong and Peter Pan Goes Wrong, this stage production follows on from a beloved TV special of the same name, which took the BBC by storm in December 2017 and is available on BBC iPlayer. Mischief Theatre’s acclaimed The Play That Goes Wrong is still enjoying a record-breaking season at London's Duchess Theatre as well as extending once more off-Broadway, proof that the laughs never end whenever there's Mischief in the air.

Written by original Mischief team members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry SheildsA Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is a laugh-out-loud comedy that transforms the beloved holiday classic into a chaotic disaster filled with mishaps and mayhem. With brilliant physical comedy and unexpected twists, it's the perfect festive treat that will have you in stitches from start to finish.

Original and funny. Such clever theatre!

We enjoy watching (and rewatching) the goes wrong show TV episodes. We treated ourselves to see it live in London. We had seats quite high up as everything is so expensive but we could see quite well and didn't miss any lines etc. it was original and funny. Great to see some familiar faces and other actors were brilliant too. Would recommend for any fans of goes wrong show.

Careless Christmas Carol

The show is very funny and most entertaining, but the seats in the venue provide very little leg room and are cramped. The venue was also uncomfortably hot during the first act, presumably to increase interval sales.

Very funny

I always love the “that goes wrong shows” and have seen a few. Always gets a lot of laughs out me. Wish they would bring some of the sequels to Broadway instead of keeping them just in the West End. I wouldn’t; recommend this for small kids though due to the language.

Fun & Festive Night Out!

Great fan of the “Goes Wrong” plays and this didn’t disappoint. Such a feel good play, with great acting as ever and loved the audience participation. Fab to be able to laugh out loud and have a giggle. Would definitely recommend.

A light hearted Holiday play

If you want to laugh for 2 hours then this is the play to go see. It will have you in stitches the whole time. It was the perfect antidote to a season that can be stressful and a little crazy.
