Mind Mangler: Member of the Tragic Circle, the new Mischief comedy from Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields—the trio best known for The Play That Goes Wrong and BBC's The Goes Wrong Show—will tour the U.K. and subsequently play select Sundays at the West End's Garrick Theatre next year.
Following sold-out performances at the Edinburgh Fringe, Mind Mangler has been developed into a two-act show starring Lewis as the Mind Mangler and Sayer as his Stooge.
The production will offer a preview January 6, 2023, at The Mack Theatre at Mountview, and the U.K. tour will officially open January 7 at the Wyvern Theatre, Swindon, prior to visiting 23 venues nationwide with West End performances at the Garrick January 15, February 5, and March 26.
In the comedy, the Mind Mangler returns to the stage following a disappointing two-night run at the Luton Holiday Inn Conference Centre. His new solo spectacular is predicted to spiral into chaos as he attempts to read your mind.
Mischief’s stage successes include The Play That Goes Wrong, Magic Goes Wrong, Peter Pan Goes Wrong, A Comedy About a Bank Robbery, and Mischief Movie Night.
