Just saw "The Play That Goes Wrong," and it is a two hour masterpiece of a play within a play.

I see videos of complete productions on youtube. Go watch one.

I just stated watching The Goes Wrong Show on Amazon. Not sure if I would appreciate more than 1 episode a night, but the first one had me laughing so hard I couldn't breathe.

For something similar Noises Off is a hilarious movie about pretty much the same thing.

Noises Off is one of the funniest things I've seen in my life. Loved every second of it.
