As The Comedy About Spies prepares for its final West End performance on 5 September 2025, Mischief has announced that the hit production will be filmed live at London’s Noël Coward Theatre.
Three performances will be captured on 20 August at 2.30pm and 7.30pm, and on 21 August at 7.30pm. These special recordings aim to preserve the laughter and chaos that have made the show a five-star favourite.
Audiences can be part of the filming experience by booking tickets at www.SpiesComedy.com. Details on the release of the filmed version will be shared at a later date.
Since opening in April, The Comedy About Spies has seen 1,545 bottles of Shiraz thrown out of windows, 315 pigeon attacks, and 115 bananas eaten on stage.

Mischief, the award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery, continues to delight audiences with this 1960s spy spoof.
