Christmas Carol Goes Wrong will return to London’s West End this festive season, alongside a nine-stop UK tour and international dates.

Written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, and directed by Matt DiCarlo, the production sees the accident-prone Cornley Amateur Drama Society attempt to stage A Christmas Carol, only for everything to unravel in typically chaotic fashion.

In London, Mischief’s much-loved comedy Christmas Carol Goes Wrong will head to Wyndham’s Theatre for a limited run from 18 December 2026 to 23 January 2027.

The show will also embark on a UK tour from 27 October 2026 to 27 February 2027, opening at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley. We’ve listed all of the tour stops here.

 Its North American premiere will take place at the Ahmanson Theatre from 12 December 2026 to 10 January 2027, while an Australian run is scheduled throughout December 2026.

The creative team includes set designer Libby Todd, costume designer Roberto Surace, lighting designer David Howe and sound designer and composer Alexandra Faye Braithwaite, with casting to be announced. The production is produced in the West End by Kenny Wax and Stage Presence, and presented globally in arrangement with Mischief Worldwide Ltd.
