Mischief, the multi-award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About Spies, has announced that its festive hit Christmas Carol Goes Wrong will return to the West End for a limited run.
Alongside its second West End season, Christmas Carol Goes Wrong will also head out on a UK and international tour. Its second UK tour will open in Bromley, spreading festive cheer across the country through to February 2027, with a stop at 
Milton Keynes Theatre from Tue 2 – Sat 6 Feb 2027.
The show will make its North American premiere, produced by Kenny Wax, Stage Presence and Kevin McCollum, at the Ahmanson Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles, with performances running from December 2026 to January 2027.
It will also play in Australia from 1 – 29 December, with venues to be confirmed. Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is brought to Australia by GMG Productions & Stoddart Entertainment Group, following the success of their recent tour of The Play That Goes Wrong.
Christmas Carol Goes Wrong sees The Cornley Amateur Drama Society bring tidings of chaos and joy as they tackle Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol. The Cornley crew face miscommunication, delayed sets, missing actors and an escalating feud over who should take the lead role. The result is a brilliantly disastrous take on the much-loved story of Ebenezer Scrooge, offering a festive slice of pure escapism.
The production played to sell-out audiences when it premiered at the Apollo Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue last year. It is written by original Mischief members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, and directed by Matt DiCarlo, who also helmed the award-winning The Comedy About Spies, set to return to the West End this summer at London’s Adelphi Theatre.
Joining Henry, Jonathan, Henry and Matt on the creative team are Libby Todd (set designer), Roberto Surace (costume designer), David Howe (lighting designer) and Alexandra Faye Braithwaite (sound designer and composer). Casting is yet to be announced.
A 15-minute documentary about the making of Christmas Carol Goes Wrong will be released on YouTube. Subscribe to @mischiefcomedy now to watch.
Christmas Carol Goes Wrong in the West End is produced by Kenny Wax and Stage Presence, and presented globally in arrangement with Mischief Worldwide Ltd.
