A Hilariously Disastrous Take on a Christmas Classic
Mischief, the multi-award-winning comedy troupe behind The Play That Goes Wrong, is set to bring their signature theatrical mayhem to the West End and UK audiences this holiday season with Christmas Carol Goes Wrong.

What to Expect from Christmas Carol Goes Wrong
The Cornley Amateur Drama Society is back, and this time they’ve set their sights on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. But, as with every Cornley production, things quickly spiral into disaster. Expect fumbled lines, missing actors, collapsing sets, and on-stage feuds, all while the group desperately tries to bring Scrooge’s tale of redemption to life.
Jonathan Sayer, one of the show’s creators, said:
“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.”

This brand-new comedy comes from Mischief’s founding trio:
🎭 Writers & Creators: Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields (The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, The Comedy About a Bank Robbery)
