    • Trivia
      The movie's title "Noises Off!" is a stage cue, used in plays, by a playwright, to indicate noises occurring off-stage.
    • Goofs
      When we see the show from the stage, there are fake walls visible behind all the doors. When we see the show from backstage, those fake walls are missing from all the upstairs doors (although present for the downstairs doors). This is not actually a mistake as this is how an actual stage production is presented, and the top floor of the set rear needs to be seen clearly or half the action would be obscured.

    Maybe the funniest movie ever made.

    If you can keep up with this movie, you'll laugh from beginning to end. The movie that never stops. This movies rapid fire comedy can make you dizzy and it provides very few and small slow spots to catch your breath! The story of a inept theatre troope that just gets worse and worse, the closer they get to the bigtime. It reminds us that there is no business like show business. No business at all!
