Toooooo funny! Funny from start to finish
Samantha, 15 Oct 2025
Hilarious My husband and I absolutely loved this show! We laughed till we had to wipe away tears. It is so much fun and the actors, whilst pretending to be amateurs perform with such skill and a sense of playfulness that is very impressive. I'd recommend this show to anyone.
Sarah, 12 Oct 2025

You either get it or don’t My wife laughed throughout but I didn’t laugh at all. I thought it would be Monty Python type humour which I would enjoy, but instead it was silly slapstick comedy. Half the audience seemed to love it so it is a bit of a crapshoot as to whether you will enjoy it.

What A Show If you haven't seen this then it should be on your bucket list. The acting is first class with plenty to laugh at. One of the best comedy shows that I've seen in many a year.
Trevor, 18 Sep 2025
Gets better and better This play builds from funny to hilarious and is so cleverly put together in terms of comic timing. A must see.
Deborah, 18 Sep 2025
Non stop laughter from start to finish. A must see show. I am a real theatre goer. I absolutely loved this show. It was non stop laughter from start to finish. My husband and I laughed so much we had tears rolling down our faces. The actors were amazing. Well done and thank you for a wonderful evening.
Kathryne, 31 Aug 2025
The funniest show I’ve seen! Brilliantly acted and written. Intimate theatre. 100% recommend if you enjoy comedy. My 13 yr old son laughed the whole way through the show as did we. Worth every penny! Well done to the brilliant cast!
“It‘s me, Mario”!

Laugh out loud Original and hilarious . Very well done from start to finish
Keith, 20 Aug 2025
A laugh a minute! Absolutely genius show! I don’t want to say too much as it will spoil it but the whole show was just brilliantly done
Nadine, 01 Aug 2025
Exceeded expectation - clever and hilarious We knew this show was going to be funny from the reviews but it was so much more. I loved the story. The acting was brilliant with exceptional timing. The script was clever with plenty of laughs generated in addition to the surrounding calamity.
Well done to the cast and crew - superb all the way through!
steve, 14 Jul 2025
Genuinely hilarious A good clean comedy with great comic timing and acting. So glad I came to London to see it. If I had to pick a flaw, I would say the girls fighting went on a bit too long. Otherwise, brilliant. Thank you for all involved.
Karen, 13 Jul 2025
Clever and funny Everything was great. Very fun evening. Actors were very impressive and slick.
Debra, 15 Jun 2025
Review Precisely what I expected of a professional grade comedy, with phenomenal writing and utterly superb comedic timing thanks to the cast, The Play That Goes Wrong tops the charts in personal recommendation, and deserves at least a second viewing in order to leave it satisfied
john, 13 Jun 2025
Laugh out loud! Very entertaining. The show was a hit with the whole family from grandparents to grandchildren. Throughly enjoyable for all. Would definitely recommend.
Sandra, 26 May 2025
Such a fun evening! Be ready to laugh! Second time seeing it after a few years and I was still laughing from before the curtains opened!
Sedona, 23 May 2025
So silly, so funny This was exactly the right show to see for our group. We had a range of ages and we were all laughing, holding our breath and waiting in anticipation for the next thing to happen. Such a fun show. Can't wait to see the new Comedy about Spies
Joanne, 02 May 2025
Amazing show to watch The acting was done quite well.
Sean, 28 Apr 2025
a must see a fast moving comedy. recommended for al llages. a very pleasant and enjoyable change from the usual west end musicals.
spenta, 20 Apr 2025
We loved the skill, timing and characters To say we had a good laugh would be an understatement
David, 15 Apr 2025
Best comedy play I have seen 8n years Such a fun show to watch. The children in the audience loved it too. Get in your seat early.
Debbie, 08 Apr 2025
Unexpectedly phenomenal! This show is thoroughly thought through, exquisitely executed and completely captivating. The actors are exceptionally well cast and the organic integration of the audience is absolutely delightful. Hats off to the stage designers, writers, production crew and all behind the scene staff, who have to be on point to make this work safely.
I haven’t been so entertained in years. Laugh therapy guaranteed.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
Rachel, 06 Apr 2025
Funniest show Wonderful performance- have never laughed so much!
Julie, 28 Mar 2025
So funny my sides hurt Brilliant show, it was so funny and well acted. Went with a group of friends for a birthday treat and we were not disappointed so much so have been recommending people go and see the show. Loved it and would happily go again. Don't want to say too much so as not to spoil the surprises and spontaneous nature of the show but definitely book now you won't be disappointed.
Claire, 25 Mar 2025
Laughter to be had by all Never laughed so hard for some time, laughing from start to finish, great night. Was on front row, only £45. Absolutely amazing night
Wayne, 19 Mar 2025
Good fun Good fun ,slapstick at its best
Melanie, 17 Mar 2025
Comedic chaos at its best! A wonderfully entertaining performance with a set that will blow you away!
Reshma, 16 Mar 2025
Fantastically funny! The programme had me laughing before the show even began (well worth the money!), and the show itself meant I barely stopped laughing the whole way through. All the actors were excellent, I cannot recommend this show highly enough. If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for?
Sian, 11 Mar 2025
Laugh until you cry I have seen this play 4 times with different people and ages It was so cleverly done and none of the shows was exactly like the last
I would definitely recommend it
Lynn, 06 Mar 2025
Funny funny funny happy days Clever show. Caught me laughing at many points, great production and acting
To get things to go wrong at the right time was either a miracle or a mistake 🤔 🤣
Ken, 04 Mar 2025
Very well acted and produced Thoroughly enjoyable show so well acted and the timing of the ‘slips’ were excellent.
I loved the way the play started before the curtain rose. Brilliant idea and well executed.
Janice, 20 Feb 2025
A fast paced farce The pace and acting in this play are excellent . I grew up with Laurel and Hardy and this kind of slapstick humour and unfortunately have never really found it funny after the first half hour and I feel the same about this. However it was much appreciated by most of the audience!
Bronwen, 07 Feb 2025
All went right with the play that went wrong. Great evenings entertainment, sparkling slapstick comedy,brilliant acting. Would highly recommend for everyone. The Duchess Theatre is a great venue combining old world charm with modern tasteful refurbishment. WWe will recount this memorable evening long intro the future.
Gerard, 03 Feb 2025
Brillant Really fantastic performance
Gracie, 01 Feb 2025
Great! Very fun evening! The show was very good! I was surprised how much I laughed! Good job by the actors and actresses!
Donald, 28 Jan 2025
A laughter fest Great energetic performances, laugh a minute and clever set design.
Michael, 26 Jan 2025
A laugh a minute Loved it. We were worried about Winston though...
Jil Ross, 18 Jan 2025
Hilarious Fast paced comedy. Timing amazing
Lesli, 11 Jan 2025
Laugh out Loud This play did not disappoint. Characters were played perfectly and the set was amazing. Loved every minute of it and laughed non stop. My teenage son is a huge fan and said it was just the best!!
Sarah, 28 Dec 2024
Brilliant This is a must watch west-end show suitable for all ages. It was incredibly funny, the actors were enthralling, keeping the audience laughing. A good play keeps it’s audience talking about it for days and months to come and this one certainly meets the criteria.
Gareth, 20 Dec 2024
Slapstick comedy The premise is ok but the execution is "vaudevillian" or "slapstick humor" at best. Rather juvenile.
Barry, 12 Dec 2024
Fantastic play! I didn’t expect to laugh so hard - what a fantastic play!
Sandra, 12 Dec 2024
Funny and witty Great performance. Owen Jenkins makes the show, and Alice is wonderful and lovely.
Ori, 04 Dec 2024
Laughing from start to finish Laughed throughout the show
Matt, 01 Dec 2024
Very funny from start to finish. The only down side to this play was that I got a headache from laughing constantly.
Absolutely superb, great acting, great set.
Seriously thinking of booking to see it again.
John, 30 Nov 2024
Laughed my socks off! Hilarious from start to finish.
Paul, 27 Nov 2024
The Play That Goes Wrong I did laugh a lot & if going - make sure you are in your seat 15 mins before the start or you will miss very funny preamble...I think the director could have asked the actors to speed up some of the slap stick gags but the way the set contruction is set up to help it all fall apart is genius- I genuinely had my heart in my mouth for a few moments ....some great acrobatics added in for good measure.....for those who love slap stick- this is right up your street
Heather, 17 Nov 2024
Brilliant The funniest show. The actors timing and delivery brilliant most enjoyable
Breeda, 15 Nov 2024

GARRY, 07 Oct 2024
If you need a laugh, see this show We laughed from the time the first person appeared on stage until the final curtain came down. Leave your worries at the door and immerse yourself in this silliness. You’ll be glad you did.

Aaron, 06 Sep 2024
Energetic Wonkyness! They even “told us off” for laughing! I nearly fell out of my seat at that point!

Fun from start to finish The show began with us all laughing and ended the same way. Absolutely fantastic!!
Robert, 30 Jun 2024
The Play That Goes Wrong - Hit and Miss Was really looking forward to seeing the show after positive feedback from friends. Very strong performances from all the actors, and a very clever idea, but became more and more predictable as the show continued after the interval. A must for fans of slapstick.
Mark, 29 Jun 2024
Great Show I and my friend enjoyed the show. It was hilarious. Many thanks to the actors and everyone else employed in the production who were all fantastic.
Alexandra, 22 Jun 2024

Suzanne, 21 Apr 2024
Comedy at its finest and funniest An absolute must see, haven't laughed so much in a long time
Janet, 17 Apr 2024
Very entertaining I was a bit uncertain as there are mixed reviews. Although it was recommended by 2 of our friends. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this play, it is funny in many parts (not side splitting hilarious but silly and slapstick) it appealed to our sense of humour. What I liked is that i didn’t notice any swearing or crudity which is rife in many aspects of our society now. So it would be safe to take older children along. We had a great evening.
Teresa, 11 Apr 2024
Great a laugh a minute It takes a lot to make mum husband laugh but u all managed it wonderful performance
Anne Marie, 10 Apr 2024
Great fun ! Great Show, as always, I’ve been four times now. It was my Granddaughter’s first introduction to theatre, she lives in Dubai, and I think she is hooked! Very professionally done. I’m a great fan of the acting compan. and try to see them as often as possible. .
Clare, 06 Apr 2024
Laugh out loud Laughed so much! My kids loved it and so did the adults!
Sarah, 05 Apr 2024
Laughing & smiling along the way Thoroughly entertaining from the start to the end. Would recommend the upper seating area to appreciate the show.
Karl, 04 Apr 2024
A good laugh, just what we needed After a difficult week seeing this show was a great way to unwind and release all our stress with a great laugh. Really enjoyed the show, cant remeber when I last laughed so much.
