Entertaining, Funny, Clever

See it if you want to see a show with wit and charm, with opportunities for audience participation (sit in the stalls for this).

Don't see it if you want a show that is captivating from start to finish. The Mind Mangler was brilliant but some of the other acts lacked the same presence

Great writing, Funny, Clever

See it if You love slapstick, witty writing and magic going wrong in the funniest ways!

Don't see it if You don't enjoy silliness and the other Goes Wrong type shows.

For a previous production

If you enjoy watching flustered English people get more flustered as stuff goes wrong – and let’s be clear, that is literally their entire shtick – then ‘Magic Goes Wrong’ sees them pulls the trick off once again.

For a previous production

Everyone, on-stage and (manifestly off) works their socks off to keep things continually derailing on time (direction by Adam Meggido).

For a previous production

The show is unashamedly silly but also affectionately celebratory of a kind of variety theatre that may have long vanished - but makes a welcome return here.

For a previous production

Mischief is so adept at developing rapport with an audience, it works anyway. As Paul Daniels used to say: that’s magic.

For a previous production

It’s executed with love, determination and skill. Tommy Cooper, you suspect, would have loved it. I know I did.

For a previous production

But, though it doesn’t hit the highs of some previous Mischief outings, it remains a solidly entertaining show, from a company evidently keen to test itself, and, for once, there are a few sweet instances where everything goes right.

For a previous production

Stunts and tricks go awry in this slapstick romp, though the running gag makes it hard to conjure suspense.

For a previous production

Those who love the "Goes Wrong" brand will have a pleasant number of laughs to keep the mirth coming, but it's hard to shake the feeling that, for a large portion of the run-time, Mischief may have missed a trick.
