Producer Kenny Wax said: ‘Our priority over the past year has been to help kick-start the industry in any way we can and we’re delighted to be mounting three Mischief shows on tour, working together with the regional venues to welcome audiences back into theatres nationwide.

‘We hope to provide much needed work to the many actors, stage managers, technicians and creatives who make up our freelance workforce, many of whom have not had paid work since last March.’

Mischief’s other West End successes include Peter Pan Goes Wrong, A Comedy About A Bank Robbery and Mischief Movie Night. while the second season of their BBC One series The Goes Wrong Show is currently in production.

Details of all the tours are on the Mischief website.
