for those who don’t know, mischief theatre is a comedy troupe in the uk that is popular for their panto shows where they put on a show that is designed to go tragically, horribly wrong. actors forgetting their lines, set pieces falling over, props breaking, that sort of thing. they might not be that well-known in america, but they’re definitely a uk theatre staple. they’re known for interacting with their audiences-in pantos, it’s common for the audience to engage with the actors.
'The Play That Goes Wrong' was on Broadway! Also BBC's The Goes Wrong Show is on Amazon Prime Video, I'd say they're pretty well known here!
"IT'S NOT A PANTOMIME!"
Seriously though they're not known for pantos. They've had 5 stage shows, none of which are pantos.
@@laurencenoble3629 Not to say they don't have experience with pantos.
One of the running jokes in Peter Pan Goes Wrong is that everyone aside from Chris thinks the CPDS is putting on a panto, much to Chris' frustration. Good luck adapting that for a US production.
Plus, one of the movies they did for Mischief Movie Night In was a panto.
@@ryanschwartz4959 the joke is that the audience are treating it as a panto but Chris wants them to take it more seriously. If you actually look at the show though, Chris is right. It isn't a panto at all. If you've ever seen a panto you'll know that they all follow a very similar plot, with a very similar cast of characters and a very similar style of humour. Their version of Peter Pan follows very few of the usual panto tropes and really can't be considered a panto. There's no dame, there's no comic, there's no panto fairy (tink doesn't count because she doesn't do any of the plot stuff that the fairy always does and she doesn't speak at all, let alone in couplets). There's no innuendo, there's no gags, there's none of the typical songs. Peter Pan can be done as a panto but it's done very differently to this. I know I'm taking this too seriously but I love mischief and don't want people to get the wrong idea of what they're about. I also have worked on enough pantos to know what I'm talking about
@@laurencenoble3629 oops, sorry! to be honest, i didn't know pantos had such a strict criteria-i'd always just assumed it was a musical comedy show based on a story or fairy tale that the audience is encouraged to participate in. i've only seen one panto like eight or something years ago; i don't live in the uk, so it's not really something easy for me to access lol. i just thought that for a person not familiar with this format of audience participation, describing it through the terms of a well-established british genre might help them understand the concept a little more.
People commenting "he's a bad magician" as if it's not literally "Magic Goes WRONG" 😂😂😂
Absolutely love Mischief Theatre!! Gutted I missed them live...
Him breaking character at “5 OF CLUBS” was so funny and lowkey adorable 5:54😂
Definitely the stand out performance of the day! Cannot wait to go and see the whole show, and who doesn’t love a bit of comedy?
The original group I saw them, almost just a gut
As an Environmental Consultant, who works with maps, I feel her pain!
Environmental geoinformatics?
5:53 THE WAY HIS FACE LIGHTS UP! _AGH_ *warms the soul*
We love to see mischief theater and the play that goes wrong with penn and teller talent doing magic goes wrong, can’t wait for the goes wrong show season 2
A couple people have put Season 2 up on Daily Motion if you don't mind 2 minute unskipable ads every five minutes and a bunch of "buffering" delays throughout the video.
5:55. Well he's obviously cracking up XD
He's laughing because every time they do this act a random audience member (not a plant) shouts out "Five of Clubs"
“But it is a strange smell” - love the patter
The "scouse" accent is so class
And considering he's not a Scouser it's not a bad effort either.
Not to mention the fact Dennis is an absolute idiot so accents are the last thing I'd expect of him, but then he did do a pretty decent southern US accent in the 90 degrees episode.
I love Mischief Theatre…these guys are fantastic.
I love Mischief Theatre 😂
I'M A RETIRED MAP STUENT
HAHAHHAHHA
I just cannot ;-;
Went to see this, absolutely hilarious 🤣
Is there a John here?
Love Mischief
So hard to write that!
Jonathan Sawyer
Mischief is Mischief Theater!!!!!
I went to watch this yesterday it was incredibly funny. 23/10/21
Love mischief theatre 😁
I've booked tickets to go see Magic Goes Wrong. Can't wait! I've loved these guys since they showed Peter Pan Goes Wrong on TV a few years ago. I love the specials and the TV show. I watched the play for the first time this year. Really wish I could've watched Comedy about a Bank Robbery and Groan Ups while they were still in London
I’ll be honest, the Bank Robbery wasn’t fantastic (I saw the tour version) but I have to say it is the only thing they’ve done that wasn’t hilarious.
I watch Peter Pan Goes Wrong every year at Christmas 😂 So good of them to televise it and put it online! Let us know how Magic Goes Wrong is - I’d love to see it!
@@CaledonianCloud really? Is it because it's not like their Goes Wrong stuff? I saw the clip that they did for that Palladium show and that was kinda funny
@@joevictor53 It may be!
Bank Robbery is very different to their other stage shows and TV series. It was still humorous but I think the dialogue, setups, storyline and the behaviour of the actors went in a different direction - completely fine but just not what I thought we were getting, and I don’t think I laughed out loud once. Bear in mind, I laugh at practically everything they do in all their other performances so it was surprising,
I went with someone who didn’t know what to expect and they thought it was ok, but they weren’t keen to see more. Eventually they conceded and watched the TV series, Peter Pan, and now they have plans to see The Play That Goes Wrong.
I didn’t see the clip from Palladium, but I’ll seek it out. The way I see it is that they are very talented actors and writers, with amazing people behind the scenes, and part of growing is trying different things. I just didn’t like the Bank Robbery but fortunately for me I’ve loved everything else. One thing it definitely missed out was the repeated ‘interactions’ with the audience - acknowledging their presence and reactions, reacting, displaying ‘performer dynamics’ etc. I feel like that’s a key part of what they always succeed in; an actor playing an actor playing a part in a play that is going wrong.
@@CaledonianCloud I think I get what you mean. I think subconsciously this is why I never went to see Bank Robbery. I knew their Goes Wrong stuff was hilarious and even though I didn't see the play until this year I always intended on it. Bank Robbery was always going to be a second choice because I knew it was a more "serious" comedy than the 4th breaking hijinks of Goes Wrong
Groan Ups is currently touring!
Love the bit with the teleprompter 😂😂
Big space for big man and big Michief Theatre.
These guys are brilliant
Just went to a show and guessed correctly I had a indoor job. :)
Curious how they did the trick at the end. The guy guessed bronze at mine.
E-ink.
Same here
what color was jonathan's suit? because the two i saw, the color they guessed corresponds with jonathan's suit
I'm guessing it's a plant because I've seen a few versions of this on RUclips and it's always been John and they've done the same "where were you before?!" bit
The person is picked before the show and told to say his name is John and given an unusual colour to say
I'm a retired maths student.
I think he says map student. Could be wrong though.
:) this is wonderful. Satire and magic
I was at the second preview of their New York run and I too had a vague job. I get the sense that they figured out that a lot of people have jobs that will take 5 minutes to fully describe. 😂
Surprisingly vague job actually totally worked for her
I think there are a lot of people with vague jobs. Like, jobs that take 5 minutes to explain. Especially the kinds of people who can afford to see a West End or Broadway show. 😂
are we gonna talk about him picking william and kate?
I've already seen the Magic Goes Wrong Show at Bradford Alhambra Theatre four weeks ago and it was very funny and hilarious😄😆😅, it's a shame that these are the different actors who performs instead of the Goes Wrong Cast but I can understand their reason since they can only perfom is biggest theatre place like London.
shout out to that guy next to Dan wearing a SIX hat and mask
Jon has a beautiful smile
This looked like a standup than what they usually do
May i refer to you there stage version of this set, you may be able to better understand the jokes

Oh my God, bloody Dennis 😂
This is Robert from the goes wrong show,Peter pan goes wrong and a Christmas carol goes wrong
Okay, I'm seriously, actually confused. Either:
1. the people in the audience guessing the 3 of diamonds and beige were actors
2. those two things were actually coincidences
3. these comedy people know how to do magic
and all three of them seem equally unlikely to me
Nah option 1 is pretty likely. Actual actors after throwing off the scent
Well, they developed this show together with Penn and Teller, so yes, they are using actual magic tricks
In both cases I’m pretty sure it’s e ink, it’s why after both times when people’s guessed he pauses for about 3 seconds, it’s to give time to people backstage to set the face of the card/type in beige
I'm not sure exactly how they've done the 3 of diamonds trick, but I think maybe something to do with the background of the stage being diagonal and the fact that Jonathan(the guy on stage who called himself brian) originally went 3 of clubs so 3 is prominent in the head and then the diagonal Red colour similar to a diamond rolling along the back of the stage? As for the second trick with the colour it has something to do with Jonathan's suit! I'm not sure of the actual specifics of how it works, probably just unconscious messaging or something but there's another clip of this exact performance and in that clip the suit colour he is wearing is maroon, and then the colour at the end ends up being maroon, and then in this one his suit is beige and the colour ends up being beige. I don't think it's a plant because the guy who says beige looks genuinely flummoxed. Both tricks have something to do with how being on the spot in a situation like this affects thinking while also trying to say something not so obvious but without putting too much thought into it so as to not keep people waiting, and also your brains unconscious habit of picking up on things that are right in front of you = I'm seeing beige let me say beige! But in an unconscious thought way if that makes sense? Either way it's pretty cool!
Just like during the Play That Goes Wrong they are talented actors who pretend to be bad at their jobs, they are quite skilled in magic but pretend to be bad at it here :)
How the heck do you do the wallet trick without any kind of an index!? I still can't figure out how some of this was done, especially having the audience guess the color. Absolutely amazing! Was great to see Mind Mangler in person in Edinburgh!
Penn and Teller helped them develop this, so they are using the same tricks magicians do just the opposite way
I just came from the off-Broadway production. The guy also correctly guessed beige, but I assumed it was because he watched this very video beforehand. Now I wonder…
I feel like anybody really does have a free choice of color, unless there is some pre-show work going on, like I did in my version, where I had someone pick a color, but didn't say what it would be for.@@laurenconrad1799
*MIND*
GIS 🌎🌍🌏
Imagine if the first person he picked really was named John 😂
3 of Clubs, if you know you know :)
They came up with the show in collaboration with Penn and Teller.
They did, but in this trick they made it pretty clear that they tried using a force. But it might be a give away for other parts like the colour.
How did they get the 3 of diamonds in the wallet?
okay, that's cool
Howwwwwwwwwww

Did the person in the audience shout "Yeah boy"?
Yeah right
Still wonder how they do the trick at the end though.
It's something to do with Jonathan's (the guy who called himself brian on stage) suit! In the other clip of this he was wearing a maroon suit and the colour at the end was maroon, and in this performance the colour of his suit is beige and the colour ends up being beige as well! Probably something to do with people being on the spot and trying to also come up with a colour off piste.
They probably have a staff member tell the audience what to say
Same performance as a few years ago that was shown on TV. Would’ve been nice to see a different part of the show.
I’ve seen the whole show live. This bit works the best with viewers who are unfamiliar with their work
It’s also one of relatively few bits which don’t require large or complicated props
Oh good. The Comic Relief version has an issue where the audio and video are out of sync.
4:50-4:57 that’s me!!! Follow my theatre vlog and stay fab with fabaret! Mischief theatre are fabulous!! Xxx
So funny "brian" was funny even more funny he has a face mic on and he talking into an unpuged wired mic
Brilliant was the audience members who were picked a plant? I wasn’t sure
No plants. He's just *really* good at crowd work and using an actual magic technique.
@@notme222 ‘John’ is a plant though I’m afraid
When the tour was in Newcastle a few weeks back, I was the audience plant for "John.". A member of stage management team came up to me before the show and told me to answer my name as John and then she asked me to flick through a book of distinctive colours and randomly stop on one and then tell her what I stopped on. By coincidence I was also beige. Got the biggest laugh of the night though!
@@charleshenry9292 yesssss they often do lots of these things, I saw it in Cambridge and was sat next to the assistant director who would call out the performers to get the audience active and comfortable.
@@charleshenry9292 Really? Really??? I mean that effect already exists as a magic trick, but they decided to stooge it?
ruclips.net/video/YVdfrm0kejo/видео.html
Well that's disappointing to me and I'm sure Penn & Teller didn't tell them to rig it like that. But obviously it works for the rest of the audience, so that's what matters. Thanks for sharing.
Penn and Teller helped develop this, It's basically the opposite of a magic show.
its not a magic show, its a comedy show
@@fkez0510 It's a comedic magic show, they still use things that magicians use just on themselves and not the audience
8:29 well hello to the nice young lady next to "John"
that one woman is upsetting me lol
The time has come, for you to lip sync, for...your...LIFE!
That one heckler is so annoying and unfunny
It was funny the first time when he told her to shut up but she should've stopped after that
Oh my god this crowd sucks.
So Biden is also finding out what job people do
Going downhill

4 mins in and I'm annoyed I'm not getting that time back. I'd be livid if I paid money for this. Thank you next
It's "Magic Goes Wrong"... It's supposed to go wrong, it's a comedy show 😂
Bro the show is called magic goes wrong, wtf do you think it’s gonna be about dumb dumb
Its a free event so
it took you 4 mins to write a comment? christ
I have also had two hours of my life I am not getting back - having watched it 12 times.
wow the gringe. Yes we get the "joke"
Woman spends 5 mins unable to explain what her job is.
College has done wonders for this world.
The only magic being displayed here is how long these guys are getting away with repeating the same formula under a different name. The Play that Goes Wrong was brilliant but everything since then, including their TV shows is just a copy and extremely predictable. Fair play that they are still going and yes, Im jealous I didnt come up with the idea but it does amaze me how gullible the public are when they continue to chuck money at the same joke!
Thats definitely true though I do find it funny when do they do shows like Peter Pan or Xmas Carol and parody certain elements of the show which are true to actual productions (like casting adults as kids or a female Peter Pan).
@@thedukeofnuts He can't know what it means, there's no entry for it in the dictionary!
Dude the 'gullible public's has been throwing money at the same formula of drama and comedy for centuries. Because they like it. If you're bored of it move on. By your critique we should only ever have one rock song ever as it's just the same thing after that.

@@JayCLife dont get me wrong, i get the jokes and ive seen them live - my problem is every 'different' show they do (eg. bank robbery, peter pan, magic etc etc) is the same joke, re-branded over and over again - as is their TV show - like I said, fair play if you can get away with it - Mrs Browns Boys has been doing it for years and that was never funny in the first place
Lived in uk 40 years never heard of this it looks to be a waste of time not entertaining just a big steaming pile of garbage this is what crap the supposedly higher educated are spewing out is it. This would be okay for some children under five but adults are buying tickets to see this really? How immature pointless and embarrassing
This feels like it was written by a member of Mischief
This must a troll post; nobody is this terminally humourless
