HENRY CALVERT TO HOST THE COMEDY ABOUT SPIES RED CARPET LIVE STREAM
31 July 2026
The mission: get you closer to opening night than anyone in the stalls. Opening Night Live goes behind the scenes as Mischief’s The Comedy About Spies returns to the Adelphi, broadcasting live from the red carpet as the cast, creatives and a few surprise guests arrive for curtain up.
Hosting the operation is Henry Calvert, the social media favourite known for his cosplay, comic-book chat and unashamed love of geek culture – the right agent for a night built on tangled identities and mistaken briefcases. Expect frank chat with the people who made it, a few secrets that shouldn’t be classified, and all the nerves and noise of a first night as it happens.
Tune in live from wherever you are – no clearance required!
In partnership with The Theatre Channel
THE COMEDY ABOUT SPIES
NOW PLAYING AT THE ADELPHI
MUST END 26 SEPTEMBER
Mischief’s most critically acclaimed adventure THE COMEDY ABOUT SPIES is back, ‘bigger, better and more brilliantly bungling than ever’ (Daily Mail), with a limited 8-week mission recommencing this summer in London’s West End at the Adelphi Theatre.
Following a sold-out 2025 summer season, do not miss the award-winning BEST NEW PLAY (WhatsOnStage Awards 2026) from the hilarious team behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery.
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.
This ‘breathlessly funny’ (Time Out) and uproarious 1960’s spy escapade, bursts with enough confused missions, tangled identities, and miscommunication to ‘leave you crying helpless tears of laughter.’ (Guardian).
