•
Henry Shields as Chris Bean – the company's pedantic, long-suffering director, who struggles to keep the play running smoothly. •
Henry Lewis as Robert Grove – an actor who believes acting is all about presence and volume. He constantly feuds with Chris over the lead role of performances, often inflating the importance of bit parts or inventing superfluous characters. In "Summer Once Again", he served briefly as director. •
Jonathan Sayer as Dennis Tyde – an actor entrusted with small roles, including animals and inanimate objects, due to his inability to remember lines and his misinterpretation of stage directions and instructions. • Dave Hearn as Max Bennett – an actor whose “aunt runs the BBC”. His acting talent varies from play to play, but he is generally not a very good actor, and tends to be a ham when making an entrance or performing a stunt. • Charlie Russell as Sandra Wilkinson – an actress who tends to overact when performing and keenly seeks to appear attractive and impress her audience. • Bryony Corrigan as Vanessa Wilcock-Wynn-Carroway – an actress who tends to suffer frequent accidents during performance and cannot cope with improvisation. Corrigan previously appeared in two earlier specials of the show;
Peter Pan Goes Wrong as one of the stage team, and in
A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong as a receptionist. • Nancy Zamit as Annie Twilloil – a solid supporting member of the company, initially an assistant stage manager forced to perform against her will, who is often assigned to play old women or men. • Chris Leask as Trevor Watson – the company's stage manager responsible for the scenery and props, who does his best to avoid being seen by the audience when fixing mistakes; although he is occasionally roped in as a supporting character when required. • Greg Tannahill as Jonathan Harris – an actor who struggles to be noticed when performing, due to either being unable to open the doors on a set and thus sometimes getting trapped, or having his scenes messed up by mishaps and accidents. • Ellie Morris as Lucy Grove – an actress who suffers from stage fright, anxiety and distress, mostly due to her uncle Robert's harsh training of her acting skills. == Production ==
