Mischief, the multi-award winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About Spies, has announced that Christmas Carol Goes Wrong will return to the West End for a limited run at Wyndham’s Theatre from Friday 18 December 2026 to Saturday 23 January 2027.
As well as a second West End run, Christmas Carol Goes Wrong will be taking its festive fun around the UK and the globe. Its second UK tour begins at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley on 27 October 2026 and continues to bring Christmas cheer around the country until 27 February 2027.
Its North American premiere, produced by Kenny Wax, Stage Presence and Kevin McCollum, will be at the Ahmanson Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles with performances beginning on 12 December 2026 and running until 10 January 2027.
The show will play in Australia from 1 – 29 December, with venues yet to be announced. Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is brought to Australia by GMG Productions & Stoddart Entertainment Group, following on 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 battle miscommunication, delays to their set, actors missing in action and a growing feud over who will play the lead. It’s a disastrous take on the much loved classic Christmas story of Ebenezer Scrooge and a festive slice of pure escapism.
Christmas Carol Goes Wrong played to sell-out houses, when it premiered at the Apollo Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue last year. It is written by original Mischief Members Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields and the production is directed by Matt DiCarlo, who also helmed the award-winning The Comedy About Spies which is set to have its second West End run 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). The cast are yet to be announced.
A 15 minute documentary about the making of Christmas Carol Goes Wrong will be released on YouTube. Subscribe to @mischiefcomedy YouTube now.
