Drunk Shakespeare

About

Drunk Shakespeare is an off-Broadway comedy show that combines Shakespearean plays with a unique twist: one actor consumes five shots of whiskey before attempting to perform a major role, while the other four sober actors strive to keep the performance on track. This interactive and humorous production has been entertaining audiences since its premiere in 2014. As of April 2026, Drunk Shakespeare continues to perform in New York City, Chicago, Washington D.C., Phoenix, and Houston, offering a distinctive theatrical experience that blends classic literature with modern comedy.
