West End comedy shows - your questions answered
For guaranteed belly laughs, The Play That Goes Wrong and The Book of Mormon are West End institutions. Newer hits include Oh, Mary! and the disaster-movie parody Titanique.
Some are, some are firmly not. The Play That Goes Wrong is broad, physical comedy the whole family can enjoy, whereas The Book of Mormon and Magic Mike Live are strictly for grown-ups. Check the age guidance on each show page.
A comedy play gets its laughs from writing, timing and slapstick, as in The Play That Goes Wrong. A comedy musical adds songs to the mix, like The Book of Mormon or Titanique. Both aim to send you home grinning.
Most comedies run around 2 hours including one interval, though shorter one-act shows do exist. The exact running time is listed on every show page so you know what to expect.
Book ahead and look at midweek matinees, which are usually the best value. Our cheap tickets page rounds up the shows with the lowest prices right now.
