The Comedy About Spies is a brand new show from Mischief Comedy, written by company members Henry Lewis and Henry Shields. Matt Di Carlo will direct the production.

Information about cast and creatives will be announced soon.

Set in 1960s London, The Comedy About Spies is a fast-paced, ridiculous caper packed with physical comedy, misunderstandings, and mistaken identities. The story follows a rogue British agent who steals the plans for a top-secret weapon. As spies from the CIA and KGB converge on the Piccadilly Hotel in search of the elusive British mole, chaos ensues. Adding to the commotion, a young British couple and a veteran actor auditioning for the first James Bond film check into the hotel. With tensions running high and antics spiralling out of control, this Cold War comedy delivers non-stop laughs and unexpected twists.

The Comedy About Spies will run at the Noel Coward Theatre from 14 April - 3 August 2025.
