London Shows August 2026: New Shows

The Comedy About Spies
The Adelphi Theatre

This brilliant comedy play kicked off on the 1st of this month. The Comedy About Spies is the latest from the writers of The Play That Goes Wrong. Previously, the show ran at The Noel Coward Theatre and is returning to the Adelphi this summer with well deserved awards under its belt. When a rogue British agent pilfers plans for a top-secret weapon, CIA and KGB spies converge on London’s Piccadilly Hotel in pursuit of the elusive file. ‘Abandon yourself to the madness’(The Times) and join a clueless young couple, a hapless actor angling for an exciting spy movie role, and enough double agents to confuse even the sharpest operative, in a mission that’s hilariously out of control.

Featuring the original Mischief Theatre crew, The Comedy About Spies is running for a strictly limited run. The show is booking until 27th September at The Adelphi Theatre. Book your cheap discounted tickets here.
