Review: Magic Goes Wrong (Vaudeville Theatre)

All in all, Mischief Theatre have done it again with another fun night at the theatre where more goes right than wrong . . . or should that be more goes wrong than right?

Theatre review: Magic Goes Wrong

What's missing is the unexpected -- this is a series of uneven sketches on the same running gag, although there is also some proper, brilliant magic too.

Magic Goes Wrong, Vaudeville Theatre review

Mischief Theatre's "Goes Wrong" oeuvre is now well established: broad humour combined with physical comedy and slapstick mishaps. Magic Goes Wrong, though, is the company's first outside collaboration - with American magicians Penn & Teller, themselves purveyors of fine spoof comedy of the ta-da! kind.

The Comedy About A Bank Robbery review

Writers Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields unashamedly mine the bank heist genre from every era to produce this enormously funny, goofy romp. A final mention, though, has to go to the seagulls. It's a glorious riot.
