West End and tour cast announced for Mischief's CHRISTMAS CAROL GOES WRONG

The cast will include James Akka as Dennis, Adam Elliott as Chris, original Mischief member Dave Hearn as Max (until 23 January 2027), Matthew Howell as Robert, Jay Olpin as Max for the final 6 tour venues, Luke Pierre as Jonathan, Aein Nasseri as Trevor, Dumile Sibanda as Annie and Ashley Tucker as Sandra.

From Mischief, the multi-award winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About Spies, comes Christmas Carol Goes Wrong, which has all the chaos and mayhem you could ask for. The Cornley Amatuer Drama Society returns, this time with a foolhardy attempt to perform the Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol. The Cornley crew battle miscommunication, delays to their set, actors missing in action and a growing feud over who will play the lead.

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong premiered at the Apollo Theatre last year to packed houses. It is written by original Mischief Members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields and the production is directed by Matt DiCarlo, who also helmed the award-winning The Comedy About Spies, currently playing at the Adelphi Theatre until 26 September 2026.

The creative team includes set designer Libby Todd,  costume designer Roberto Surace,  lighting designer David Howe and sound designer and composer Alexandra Faye Braithwaite.

Christmas Carol Goes Wrong will play at Wyndham's Theatre from 18 December 2026 to 23 January 2027, before embarking on a UK tour from 27 October 2027 to 7 March 2028, starting in Bromley and stopping in Norwich, Wolverhampton, Leeds, York, Milton Keynes, Cardiff, Birmingham, Newcastle and Cambridge.
