Very heartwarming message from Jonathan at the end of tonight's brilliant show.
Noticed Bryony was crying and am sure she wasn't the only one.
Going to miss these livestreams and very thankful to have had a source of such wonderful theatre during these strange times. Been a blast.

Fraud of the Blings
A fantasy film (that basically turned into The Parent Trap)
Joshua Elliott as a rainbow, Henry Lewis voicing numerous sentient objects (including Niall's back) - and Bryony's descent from the castle were all very entertaining. Harry Kershaw's Ice King had his moments as well - his lack of awareness of everyday things like hair, legs, hands and words was amusing.
The cast seemed very emotional at the end - I think they've had just as much fun doing these shows as we've enjoyed watching them.

With the final film tonight, pianowithsam 100% with you. The MMN season has been a blast and brought some much-needed laughter at the moment. I'm definitely going to miss these evenings. A big thanks not only to everyone at Mischief but the tech crew who really have brightened up the last few months. |

Almost a 100,000 people per stream, very impressive and extremely lucrative.
Kudos as they seem to one of the few ensembles to make streaming work and pretty sure that it won’t be long before they return.

I notice they're putting up a collection of fan-made posters in the countdown which is a nice touch. I feel the number of posters at the end started getting a bit much though. It was a great idea at the beginning, when they were showing 3 or 4 posters done by people who are really good artists, but tonight there must have been at least a dozen, many of which looked like they'd been done by 6 year olds. |

Because they probably were - I get what you're saying but it's nice for the kids to feel like they're involved. They probably did more this evening as it was the last show.

It felt a bit like having to fake being enthusiastic when some nauseatingly proud parents/grandparents show you their offspring's artwork! And MMN is supposed to be 11+!

I didn't see an age range listed on the website, so they probably decided to open it up for families in lockdown times. I guess they now have a following of young fans who've seen the stage shows and the TV shows so were interested in this. That would explain why Oscar was often quick to shut down some of the less family friendly parts.

Yeah, as much as I’ve enjoyed it, it has kind of annoyed me to see them (well, mainly Jonathan) tone stuff down because people ignored the age guidance. Maybe if/when it comes back they could do some PG and others not.
The fan art got a bit tiresome tbh, though I did like the two regular contributors whose work was quite cartoonish.
But as gripes go, they’re pretty minor as this has been a terrific run of shows. They’ve really cheered me up no end.

When they were doing the 3-show days at the Arts Theatre the matinees were usually more family-friendly & the evening shows, especially the 9.15pm ones, less so. I'm not saying I want outright filth or swearing but I think a certain amount of broad innuendo should be allowed.
The fan art I really liked were the drawings by @garyscribbler, which he seemed to do for every show, & the photomontage posters by @btodman93, which sadly only seem to have been done for a few of the shows.

Wishing for Wishy Washy Pantomime From the moment this was selected as the genre, I knew this was going to be bonkers - but I wasn't quite prepared for what we witnessed. Lauren as Madame Frisky, Joshua as Trevor Noun/Lucinda's dad, Niall as Sister Martha/indecipherable being in the bad grammar forest were all hilarious. Harry as Buttons throwing Maths in Joshua's direction while thrusting, trying to cure Lucinda was another highlight. Henry Lewis rather stole the show as a horse/cow hybrid, the full stop goblin and the chief of the bad grammar forest - before break dancing in the final number! Bonkers is an understatement for we yankees across the pond watching the ... well, "Oscar" did try to explain the motifs and traditions, but my bride was perplexed. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it as just a bunch of silliness without rhyme or reason but did include breakdancing. |

Intriguing tweet from Mischief. Working on a new play perhaps? As far as I know Lauren Shearing isn't part of the core gang and she is tagged in it (glad she's being included though, her contributions have been my favourites across the Movie Nights)

I could do without them being annoyingly tantalising only 2 days after MMN has finished. There's enough uncertainty going on in this country at the moment already!

That was awesome!!! Amish-geddon - a Wild West Murder mystery set on an Amish commune. I'm trying to find out the titles for the Vaudeville shows. May I ask if this was the 13th December matinee one? |

In case anyone is interested, my obsession with Mischief may have reached a new level.
"What did you do during lockdown?"
"I spent many hours trawling through Twitter, Instagram & Facebook to compile a list of the titles, genres & settings of all the Mischief Movie Night shows!"

As I know there are people on here who enjoy bad puns, here are lots of terrible ones! Can anyone spot the one inspired by a certain board member?

We're getting another run of Mischief Movie Night In - with a live audience as well in July/August - including another Sequel Sunday and a Trilogy Saturday.

I am so, so relieved that they are doing it online. Another 25 shows, if I've counted correctly. I was afraid they'd do a live-only run. I'd love to be able to see it live but I don't know yet if I'll be able to get down to London by July & I imagine the live tickets will sell out very quickly. Also Riverside Studios is completely the wrong side of London for me & not exactly walkable from Kings Cross/Liverpool Street!

I was hoping to maybe get to see them in the studio, but it doesn't appear that single seats are an option. Anyway, glad that the Mischief crew are bringing this back. Always a great watch sat at home. |

Always a great watch sat at home. Yes, the lack of single seats would also be an issue for me if I was able to go. Although given tickets are £25 then booking a pair would be cheaper than a single for many WE shows! |
