Developing the ability to analyse a text and identify which clown archetype best suits each character or scene is an invaluable skill when working with comedic text.WEEK 2  - 29/4/26🕑: 06:00 PM - 09:00 PMWeek 2 - Status Host: Mischief Maker Info: Using scenes from Peter Pan Goes Wrong, participants will explore the role of status in comedy. This week will focus on understanding the concept of "status" in comedic scenes—how to identify clues in the text that reveal a character’s status, and why manipulating status is a powerful comedic tool. We’ll discuss the impact of status shifts and how to effectively play with it in performance.WEEK 3 - 6/5/26🕑: 06:00 PM - 09:00 PMWeek 3 - Masking and Audience InteractionHost: Mischief MakerInfo: Mastering the art of "masking" is a wonderful skill for a comedic actor to have in their toolbox. The ability of an actor/ character to adopt and drop a mask quickly is a technique often employed by Mischief in their work.  Alongside masking, this week will also introduce participants to the important relationship between the actor and audience in comedy, exploring how the audience influences a performance and how actors can play with this dynamic.Week 4 - 13/5/26🕑: 06:00 PM - 09:00 PMWeek 4  - Focus and SetupHost: Mischief MakerInfo: In this session we will explore the importance of being a comedic facilitator.  When working in comedy, or in a comedic scene, you may not always be the person delivering the laugh out loud line. However just because you’re not to one delivering the punchline it doesn't mean you don’t play a critical role in the success, or failure of a joke or set piece. Being able to understand how to facilitate the set up or the highlighting of a joke is a critical part of being a great comedic performer.  Week 5 - 20/5/26🕑: 06:00 PM - 09:00 PMWeek 5 - Audition Technique &amp; In-Character RehearsalHost: Mischief MakerInfo: This week, participants will tackle the challenge of auditioning with comedic material. Working in a mock audition environment, they’ll receive feedback and notes from the workshop leader. Additionally, we’ll explore improvisation within character, asking participants to use clues from the text to make an informed choice on how their character may behave within a rehearsal environment. Week 6 - 27/5/26🕑: 06:00 PM - 09:00 PMWeek 6 - Precision and Specificity Host: Mischief MakerInfo: Comedy is often described as a science, and this week will focus on honing the precision and specificity of your comedic performance. Through this rehearsal-style session, participants will work closely with the workshop leader to explore the timing of beats and actions, within specific scenes to highlight how precision and specificity can be the key to consistently hitting a gag for an audience.

Mischief performs across the UK and internationally with original scripted and improvised work. Their previous West End production was The Comedy About A Bank Robbery (Criterion Theatre). In September 2019, the company started a residency at the Vaudeville Theatre with Groan Ups, followed by Magic Goes Wrong, which concluded its acclaimed West End run in February 2022. Other Mischief productions including Peter Pan Goes Wrong, regularly tour in licenced productions in the UK, USA and worldwide. Mischief was first seen on television in the Royal Variety Performance of 2015 and subsequently in two BBC One Christmas specials, Peter Pan Goes Wrong (2016) and A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong (2017). Their recent TV series called The Goes Wrong Show returned for a second season on BBC One in September 2021. The company is owned and controlled by its original members and is led by a creative group and its directors Henry Lewis and Jonathan Sayer."
