Due to the phenomenal success of the first week of Mischief Movie Night In, the Mischief team (The Play That Goes Wrong, Magic Goes Wrong) will be returning to our screens for more hilarious improv, streaming from their emergency comedy bunker live into homes from 23 – 31 January with BSL and captioned options available on 29 January and a further Valentine’s Day Rom-Com special on 14 February. Passes are from £10 and are on sale now.

Starring cast members of the original Mischief team, Mischief Movie Night In is all about interactivity with audience suggestions making each movie and show unique.

Those with participation passes (now sold out) are the ‘on-screen’ audience who choose the genre, title and name of the movie. Other audience members can engage with the show by sending suggestions via social media – and follow along with the fun on Twitter with #MischiefMovieNightIn.

Our Media and Marketing Manager, Megan treated herself to a ticket to the Mischief Movie Night In last year and said: “I treated myself to this for New Year’s Eve and I loved it, so I can highly recommend booking your tickets for the new Jan-Feb dates now! In fact, with no performance being the same…I’d book to watch a few if you can.”

So, if you’re looking for a stagey pick-me-up or a Valentine’s treat for your loved one, click here to grab your tickets now!

Enjoy a first-look at new musical I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change

Lambert Jackson Productions have today shared a first-look video of I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, a new musical filmed on stage at the London Coliseum and streaming for three nights only from 28 – 30 January.

Joe DiPietro and Jimmy Roberts’ clever and witty musical revue about the pitfalls and joys of romantic relationships played over 5,000 performances off-Broadway and has been produced all over the world but this virtual production is the first of its kind.

Starring Simon Lipkin (First Date, Nativity), Brenda Edwards (X Factor, We Will Rock You), Alice Fearn (Wicked, Come From Away) and Oliver Tompsett (Kinky Boots, & Juliet), I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change will have audiences laughing, singing along and shouting ‘This is my life!’

Following the highs and lows of first dates, first loves, marriages, babies, in-laws, and growing old together, this hilarious and poignant show pays tribute to those who have loved and lost and to those who have dared to ask someone out on a date.
