As a theater technician, this is a stage tech member's worst nightmare. But it's so glorious.

"Cat." Hands down my favourite line.

It's so ironically funny, that to act like a bad actor as well as these guys, you actually have to be a very good actor.

Underrated bit: the fact that the butler's hair is only half grayed

I imagine that the best part of performing this how is that, if anything ACTUALLY goes wrong, no one will notice.

the pronunciation of 'facade' had me on the floor

“She’s having another of her episodes… snap out of it, you’re hysterical!” Is probably the best comedic delivery in history.

I’m certain that their summer musical “cat” was better than the 2019 Cats movie

It’s cute how he bows every time he looks towards the royal box

“What’s the matter Florence, calm down, stop SHOUTING!” Is one of my favorite lines! 😂😂😂

That woman has the natural "I'm-a-professional-but-this-is-not-supposed-to-happen" expressions down pat. As compared to the other guys who have more comedic expressions.

Underrated joke, the dog in the picture is a King Charles Spaniel

"What's the matter, Florence? Calm down, stop shOUTing!" So hilarious.

Jack Whitehall absolutely nailed it as villager 6

“What’s the matter Florence? Calm down stop SHOUTING” will always be the funniest thing on the internet

The actress playing Florence has got to get an especially big applause. What they did to that poor woman, dragging her through the window, was hilarious!

"She's having one of her episodes. Snap out of it! You're hysterical"

"Is it your father in the portrait?" "It is-" **Awkwardly staring at the portrait**

This is legit the definition of “The show must go on”

Chris Bean: "My directorial de-but.." _Audience laughs_ Chris Bean: (°_°)

"Miss Collymore... Where are you going?" Best line, in my opinion!

Nearly choked when the door hit her.

I saw this in Charlotte, when one of the actors was looking for a book hidden under a chair in the middle of the play, everyone got so tired of waiting for the next scene most of the crowd shouted “ITS UNDER THE CHAIR”, the actor said “this has to have been the worst audience since Boston!” After that, which is a feat to accomplish

The actress playing Florence is a hero for staying still the entire time

The line reading on "cat" is brilliant.

The British Starkid

This entire thing was absolutely amazing, BUT how is no one talking about Josh Groban just casually singing behind the window!?

For those that loved this: they now have a TV show called " TheGoes Wrong Show" and they've got a live recorded Peter Pan Goes Wrong (also on the BBC)

If you have the chance to see this whole play, WATCH IT! It is just hilarious

I watched this play (the whole play) in Bristol and an upper floor bit on the stage, which was supposed to hinge and fall down slightly during the play as one of the things which went wrong actually fell all the way down (from quite a height) with some actors on it, who fell off. The play was stopped for about half an hour, it really did go wrong

As a theatre person I love this show, and big ups to the young lady as they are trying to pull her through the window!

When they first started pulling her through the window, i think one of my lungs collapsed 🤣

The fact that 3 of the actors wrote it makes it even more special

FA-CADE

Being involved in dozens of plays, I am proud to say that the audience has almost always been fooled by the many mistakes we've made in our productions XD Always stay in character no matter what!!

Josh Groban suddenly appearing behind the curtain practicing opera is the pinnacle of theatre

They did one called Peter Pan Gone Wrong a few years ago. Amazing show.

Is it even more difficult to play a character incorrectly? Like do you accidentally get it right and then it loses comedic value?

I always watch this back for a great laugh and this time I noticed at about 8:13 the brother subtly tries to call out "chris" to stop him from opening the curtain. ugh it's so good

I saw this performed on Broadway in 2016. I can tell you that the _entire_ thing is just as funny as this excerpt. By the end of it, my ribs and face both hurt from laughing so much for two hours straight.

I love it when good actors prtray amateur ones. This is superb.

What's most interesting is how much BETTER they've gotten with practice. The jokes are more elaborte, the sets are better, the timing is even BETTER...and they know how to MILK THINGS.

I like how when the inspector is about to open the curtains the other guy is calling his name to warn him yet he doesn't mind it and still gets terrified

(Steps on the corpse's hand) "His smile was often merely a... a fucade" Yep, ok, you've got me hooked.

Very funny and good old fashioned British type humour i hope this play has a good run at the theatres for many years to come

“You can barley even make out the trees...”

I'm impressed that she managed to stay playing unconscious while they pulled her through the window, it looks like nothing but the flexibility and control over her body is really impressive. What a unique scene :) If you enjoyed this, I recommend a ballet I think called the mistake waltz. Similar energy :)

I saw the whole production at the Duchess Theatre in London, five years ago. I never got tired of the mishaps, and was amazed at how much the cast put their bodies through it. The part in this excerpt where they're trying to pull the woman through the window, is just the tip of the iceberg. Thoroughly recommended!

The look on Chris and Robert's faces when Florence gets knocked out 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My High School did this play and it was hilarious I couldn't stop laughing.

I would LOVE for this group to do a full length movie, where they can name it "The movie that goes wrong."

I have been playing in an amateur theatre for years and you cannot imagine how accurate this is in terms of what can go wrong: stage props collapsing, people getting hurt, people forgetting their lines, people getting their entry wrong or don't turn up at all... I can't tell you how many little deaths I died on stage throughout my career when something went wrong.

So we jokly suggested doing this show at my HS. Our director staright up looked at us and said "That show is my defenition of a living hell"

This must be the most care-free performance to be in, you don't have to worry about going wrong...

7:50 the men's acting is so funny. the inspector is like why on earth are they laughing and the guy in the blue is so proud that they are clapping and laughing at him.

The thing is, they had to rehearse to do wrong things.

This was really funny, a genius idea, if this was only a taster of the play, I'd love to see the full thing, good luck to the cast when they go to Broadway, hope America gets the joke!

This is gold. I don't know how they could do this so hilariously and so ironically stupid at the same time. I NEED to see this in theaters. Also the part where they tried to get the girls out the window was precious.

Pretending everything is going wrong, but actually it's right, THAT'S ART lol

Saw this last night with the original cast, don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard in my life, this excerpt is only the tip of the iceberg and you absolutely need to see the whole thing! 🤣

Come back here this instant...... She's run off.

2:50 can we also talk about this man's beautifully half grey hair?

The definition of the phrase "The show must go on!"

Someone said the M-word in the theatre and it shows

These are actually amazing actors. If you do something wrong but that's how you do it correctly, it's even harder than doing something right and correctly. This made no sense. Maybe someone will understand...

I've seen this play twice. Definitely a production worth seeing multiple times. Even better as a theatre experience to take friends and family to who think little of theatre. It's the kind of entertainment that doesn't even give you a chance to finish laughing before the next joke happens.

"Where are you going!!" *is unconscious on the floor*

1:37 when mom walks into the room to check if you’re asleep

Wow talk about a young John Cleese at the beginning

This....is amazing!!!!!

"cooooome back heeeeeere this instannnnnnnnt........"

I have watched this 50 times, and it never gets old

I have seen most of the UK greats live on stage - From the 'old school' of Morecambe and Wise, Ken Dodd and Arthur Askey through to the younger comics like Lee Mack, Russell Howard, Milton Jones, Tim Vine and Frank Skinner.... but I have never, never ever laughed as much as I did watching the 'Mischief Theatre' and their plays. What is seen in this video in 9 minutes does not do the _Play that Goes Wrong_ justice. The fun starts way before the peformance while the cast mingle with the audience looking for a fictional 'dog' that has escaped. You laugh, then you laugh more. And when you think it cannot get funnier it does, until you are aching, And that is just the start of an evening that is so funny that it should come with a health warning. My wife and I also saw their second production, _Peter Pan Goes Wrong_ .... another sidesplitting success even funnier, if that is possible, than this 'play'. Well done Mischief Theatre, you are the funniest thing on stage for a VERY long time.

This is really funny and sooo British! I love these guys. the inspector actually reminds me of a Monty Python person or two :}

I saw this show closing week on Broadway and got a chance to speak to the actors after. As an actor myself, I applaud those people so much bc it is incredibly hard to have a show THAT technical (minus the heroic techies running the booth and the stage manager) and keep their reactions and performances as if it was the first time ever seeing/doing it. If you ever find a bootleg, there's a bit where the "techie" (an actor) is on their phone scrolling through Instagram or whatever and they miss like 3 important cues, and all the people on stage stare at them until they do the "oh shiT!" and does them XD. I asked the dude when I saw it and he said he genuinely would be texting his friends back or ordering dinner during the show. It was so great, I laughed my ass off for 90 minutes at least.

I love how you can hear them saying each other names like: wait stop don't do that

The timing of the person pulling her dress to cover her knickers is amazing. Love this show, seen it twice so far.

Dear God. I would love to see this. If only someone videotaped the performance on bootlef. Hell, I would even pay to watch it stream online. (Not from the UK, so I can't pay for tickets.)

The guy in the vest has amazing delivery for this skit.

British comedy at its best, never tire of watching them, the more I watch, the funnier they are because you see different things. I love the facial expressions. I watch one of their shows every day, they are the perfect medicine whilst in social isolation. Seeing one of the plays live after corona virus has passed is my main wish list. Thank you to all the team .

This play is the funniest thing I have ever seen, the whole thing is just hilarious

Kylie Minogue and Josh Groban cameos?

00:01 is when it goes wrong. You're welcome!

I saw the full show in London years back and since then I’ve seen all of there other plays and been in stitches every time

just saw this play at the Lyceum Theatre this week on Broadway! I was dying of laughter! Some of the actors who play the crew were out and about the theatre looking around for a dog supposed to be in Act 2 and prepping some last minute set details hilariously! They interact with the audience several times throughout, and are KINGS OF IMPROV! If you have the means of seeing it, I highly recommend it if you're looking for a few hours of laughs!

My drama club is taking us to see this show next month and I’m so excited!!! This clip made me laugh so many times! I can’t wait to see the whole show!!!

I saw this entire play live in London. When they try to pull her through the window I was in tears, just like now. These people are awesome at what they do. Thanks for posting

Absolutely the most Brilliant theater show ever. The actors play like they cant but still have to stay in character and act like they Arent.. absolutely brilliant 😄

These guys are the best!!

Lol my favorite line from this “ What’s the matter Florence” , “ Calm Down Stop shouting” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I have not laughed so hard- I fell off the sofa- This was brilliant comedy at it's best. Reminds me of my fun days of Highschool Drama and being in Drama groups as an Adult. The last nite of performance was hijinks galore and you just had to wing it to keep the plot moving. Miss those days. Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane. The Silver Fox

i really thought i’d be fine drinking water while watching this, i’m not, i’m choking

This is low key the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

Dennis remembering even that much of his lines was amazing. 😂

I've done a lot of stage performances over the years (mostly a stage hand and 2 years as a stage manager) and its hard enough to get things to go right. But to get them to go wrongly, right. Just wow

I remember watching this on TV with my Dad and Grandpa. We were all howling with laughter. A favourite memory.

Did I see Jack Whitehall at the end making it snow?

Why am I always drinking something while watching the funniest of plays? It spilt everywhere laughing.

i saw this live in manchester and i was absolutely dying of laughter. the pantomime bit, the repeating scene, the set falling apart... all the audience were hysterical

The full show in person was absolutely fantastic!!! Had a whole pantomime moment with Chris vs audience for a while 🤣 leading him to mutter 'only in Newcastle '
