Mischief Comedy has announced a new live production of Christmas Carol Goes Wrong with tickets going on sale Monday 17 March at 10 am.
The show, created by the team behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery, will tour before and after a festive stint in the West End. It follows the Cornley Amateur Drama Society as they attempt to stage Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Amidst miscommunication, set delays, missing actors, and casting disputes, their production descends into chaos.
A televised version of this concept was presented by the company in 2017, featuring David Suchet.
The tour will kick off at the Lowry in Salford on 2 November, before visiting Cheltenham Everyman Theatre, the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, and Theatre Royal Bath, eventually heading into the West End. In 2026, the show will visit Nottingham Theatre Royal, the Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury, the Edinburgh Festival Theatre, the King’s Theatre in Glasgow, and finally the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury in March.
The London season will run at the Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue from 6 December 2025 to 25 January 2026, with a gala performance on 14 December.
Original Mischief team members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields have written the piece. Further creatives and casting details will be announced soon.
Sayer commented: “We can’t wait to bring a new Goes Wrong title to the stage. It’s been tremendous fun revisiting the Cornley characters and we are looking forward to sharing the show with audiences over the festive period.”
