Christmas Carol Goes Wrong is Mischief’s latest Goes Wrong show, featuring the return of the Cornley Amateur Dramatic Society. This Christmas catastrophe is touring the UK until March 2026, having had its world premiere in November 2025 at Lowry, Salford on Sunday 2 November. The tour included 7 weeks of West End Chaos at London’s Apollo Theatre from Saturday 6th December 2025 to Monday 25th January 2026.
The Cornley Amateur Drama Society are back with tidings of chaos and joy, ready to tackle the Charles Dickens’ classic, A Christmas Carol.
See a new production of CHRISTMAS CAROL GOES WRONG currently touring the UK and smashing into the West End for 7 weeks only from 6 December. Do not miss another Christmas catastrophe from Mischief, the multi award-winning company behind The Play That Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong and The Comedy About a Bank Robbery.
The Cornley crew battle miscommunication, delays to their set, actors missing in action and a growing feud over who will play the lead. It’s sure to be a disastrous take on the much-loved classic Christmas story of Ebenezer Scrooge. Will Cornley finally change their ways, or will their misfortunes wreak havoc yet again.
Enjoy a festive slice of pure escapism at the worst production in Christmas past, present and yet to come!
The Mischief production of Christmas Carol Goes Wrong was originally produced in the West End
