Inside The Comedy About Spies with Mischief’s Charlie & Greg

Описание: The team behind The Play That Goes Wrong is back with a hilarious new show — The Comedy About Spies. Rhiannon Jones joins cast members Charlie Russell and Greg Tannahill at London’s Noël Coward Theatre to go behind the scenes of this action-packed, laugh-out-loud spy spoof.

The pair talk about their long-running comedy troupe Mischief, what makes their productions so consistently successful, and how this new play blends the absurdity of James Bond with the chaos of live theatre.

From evolving jokes to fourth-wall antics, they explain how each performance is never quite the same.

With deadpan Russian accents, code names like “Fluffy Knuckles” and “Sweet Chestnut,” and even some quick-fire spy trivia, this interview is pure theatre mischief.
