About This Event

The Comedy About Spies is an award-winning play returning to the Adelphi Theatre in London on 20 August 2026 at 14:30. The production is a 1960s spy escapade with tangled identities and double agents, with tickets from £18.00.

About The Comedy About Spies

The Comedy About Spies is at the Adelphi Theatre in London’s West End. Mischief’s 1960s spy comedy follows a rogue British agent who steals plans for a top-secret weapon, drawing CIA and KGB spies to London’s Piccadilly Hotel in pursuit of the missing file.

The show returns for a limited 8-week run after a sold-out 2025 summer season. It was named Best New Play at the WhatsOnStage Awards 2026 and comes from the team behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery.

Key facts: Running time is 2 hours and 20 minutes, including a 20-minute interval.
