The Comedy About Spies

About The Comedy About Spies

The Comedy About Spies at the Adelphi Theatre, London, is Mischief’s spy comedy set in a 1960s world of secret agents, double agents and confused identities. When a rogue British agent steals plans for a top-secret weapon, CIA and KGB spies converge on London’s Piccadilly Hotel in search of the missing file.

Following a sold-out 2025 summer season, this limited 8-week London West End run brings back Mischief’s most critically acclaimed adventure. The show comes from the team behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery, and won Best New Play at the WhatsOnStage Awards 2026.

Key facts: Running time 2 hours 20 minutes, including a 20-minute interval. This is a limited 8-week run in London.
