Drunk Shakespeare: One Actor. Five Shots. SHAKESPEARE!

About this Experience

What you'll do:

The stage is set in a hidden venue. Five professional actors meet as members of The Drunk Shakespeare Society. One of them has 5 shots of whiskey and then attempts to perform a major role in a Shakespearean play. Hilarity and mayhem ensue while the four sober actors try and keep the script on track. Every show is different depending on who is drinking… and what they’re drinking!

Why we love it for your party:

  • Hilarious improv meets classic Shakespeare

  • Intimate speakeasy setting — everyone’s part of the action

  • Every show is one-of-a-kind — no two nights are ever the same

I have gone to a few shows at this location, the MacBeth, Rome and Juliet, as well as Dracula. My friends and I had the opportunity to go and see the preview for Drunk Dracula and the new host Nicholas was AMAZING, he was hilarious and had amazing crowd work that really brought the show together. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to go and see!

So much fun! My wife and I had been wanting to check out the “Drunk Shakespeare” series for quite some time and finally pulled the trigger for Romeo and Juliet and show did not disappoint. The acting was great, the mix of traditional Shakespeare and comedy was perfect, and the atmosphere was amazing. The theatre is an intimate space where everyone feels part of the action. I highly recommend checking it out!

This show FAR exceeded my expectations! A raunchy, theatric and hilarious experience that had every single person laughing. The staff and actors are extremely talented and dedicated. The drinks were quick, easy to order and delicious! You get a complementary shot when entering, it’s a cute, intimate and well decorated theater. And yes, the actors are actually drunk! My friend and I got a Groupon for it and can’t wait to bring all our friends!

This opportunity popped up on my IG while my friend and I were in Phoenix for a girls getaway. I’m so glad we went! It was a fabulous evening of hilarity. We highly recommend winning the bid to be royalty for the night!!

Very funny show. It's definitely NOT your typical Shakespeare play. You do not have to be a theater fan to enjoy yourself. Fun date night out or night of fun with a group of friends. Show is different every night with a different cast and designated drunk actor. Audience participation adds to the fun. Next time, I will have to get that king seat to be King for the Day. Off with his head! Highly recommend!!

HI👏LAR👏I👏OUS!!! AMAZING night out! Wonderful show! GREAT cast! Delicious drinks! And of course... the (loose) 3, 2, 1, Shakespeare! Small, intimate theater. Not a single bad seat, but the front row gets the engagement! HIGHLY recommend for an evening of laughing one's arse off. 🌹💀

Fun, Fun, Fun. Usually you go a play, sit for awhile, clap leave. This production asks more of you, to participate. Boy Oh Boy, what Fun. What a wonderful and fun concept. Yes, there is drinking, by the actors, live. The result is hilarious, entertaining, worth few visits as the actors change lead and then, a different result. Thank You. Thank You. Go Go Go and have a blast!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be 21 or older to attend?

Yes. We ID everyone at the door.

What is seating like?

Drunk Shakespeare is held inside an intimate, immersive speakeasy where every seat is a great one. The performance space is set up “in the round.” Stage Side seats are front row and get you closest to the action. Mezzanine seats are second row, and Balcony seats are third row. If you opt for the Royalty Experience you will sit upon the royal throne.

Do I need to understand Shakespeare to "get" this show?

Nope. Drunk Shakespeare has been a hit with hardcore Shakespeare buffs and people who’ve never read a lick of the bard’s work alike!

Are the actors really drinking?

Yes, the actors are really drinking!
