Critics' Take
Mischief's festive farce delivers reliably chaotic laughs with impeccably timed slapstick, though some critics wonder if the formula is wearing thin. Fans of the "Goes Wrong" series will find plenty to enjoy in this Dickensian disaster.

“So as usual Mischief has pulled it off, triumphantly.” By Libby Purves, Dec 20, 2025
“Christmas Carol Goes Wrong shows that the company, founded by writers Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, has certainly mastered its own particular brand of mis-step mayhem with this pacy, slick and hilarious take on the Dickens classic.” By Mark Cook, Dec 21, 2025
“Mostly though, this is an irresistible Christmas treat, and it has real heart too: Scrooge-like Chris has an outlook change worthy of Ebenezer himself and in keeping with the spirit of the original Dickens.” By Alun Hood, Dec 14, 2025 · 4/5 stars
“For those seeking festive cheer without sentimentality, Cornley’s latest disaster is the Christmas Carol to see.” By Greg Stewart, Dec 14, 2025
