    Our first time here and it did not disappoint. These guys know how to entertain and make the audience feel like they are part of the show. ! We became instant fans

    We went into this experience cautiously optimistic. While we are a bit of a nerdy bunch and a lover of the arts, we didn't know exactly what to expect. Needless to say, we had a great time I don't want to give away spoilers, but essentially you watch a loose adaptation of a Shakespearean master piece (in our case "Macbeth), while a member (or members) of the troupe get "drunk." You also have the opportunity to sit back and enjoy libations This isn't a full reading or memorized version of the play. While the cast does know all the lines, and they recite most of them, the experience is infused with mostly topical pop culture references, fun audience interactions, and it feels almost like an almost improv show. The show itself lasts roughly 90min, and there are multiple showings a night The cast are very kind, professional, and funny. Once you scan your ticket you are lead into a beautiful cozy theatre that encircles the floor/stage. Everyone is given a complimentary shot to start off the show, and from there you have a QR code at your seats to order more. The drinks are clever, but a little pricey I would very much recommend this to anyone. Even if you don't get the references and you aren't familiar with the Bard's work, it is still a good time Some tips: There is a Groupon deal for this that will save you about 50% off your ticket. For parking, there is a parking garage right next to the venue, and before (or afterwards) you should take in the nightlife of downtown Houston. There are many bars and food halls within walking distance Cheers!

    This has quickly become a favorite date night for us! We've been 3 times this year (drunk dracula, drunk Shakespeare, and drunk Shakespeare year in review). We have had a blast each time! We've been the king/queen for the night, laughed so hard we cried, and just have a great time! The drinks are delicious and they are strong as well lol.

    First time Drunk Shakespeare goer here... I had no idea what to expect going into this but I am so glad I went! Easily one of the funniest nights of my life. Just go. You will not be disappointed.

    Already started!

    I am OBSESSED with this cast. I've seen them four times and I can't get enough. From the moment you walk in, they are already engaging with the crowd and while I wouldn't scare you off with the threat of audience participation, it is an intimate venue and they do a great job keeping the audience laughing (and Fuck Yeahing) by engaging individuals. I don't know how they do it in such a small space, but drink service is quick and doesn't interrupt the show. You'll definitely have time for two drinks before last call. I do think the show is more enjoyable if you already know the play (spoiler alert: It's always the same play), but you can follow along just fine if you're new to Shakespeare (or go back four times). Pro Tips: Go to Goldstar for the best price and buy Balcony. It's a small space so there are no bad seats and they'll upgrade you for free if the gallery isn't full. I'm not saying the royalty option isn't worth $500 online, but I am saying they will auction it off if it isn't sold and it always auctions for less than $500. Being royalty is so much fun and perfect for a first-date night.

    You walk in through the red curtains with a greeting of a shot. Not a strong shot. The room is like a library benches and high banister all around the rectangular room. The start the show with an open bid to get the queen and king in the royalty seats. Audience bids and highest bid gets the seats and get to ring a bell, have. Nice bottle of champagne, about an $80 bottle and small appetizer and a couple privileges. The SHOW is hilarious and worth every penny. Look online for discount codes. You can get drinks there. Very tasty and average price maybe a little more expensive. We laughed and laughed. Great date night!!! We will go again! Idea of show: ONE ACTOR TAKES 4 plus shots and tries to stay on track with play. Other actors keep him in line too. It's improv so never know what to expect. Funny inserts and definitely not kid appropriate. If you have sensitive feelings probably don't want to go. Keep an open mind always. Act

    Who will be Royalty for this production of Drunk Shakespeare?

    Double, double, toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble! A delightful evening of Drunk Shakespeare. Actors consume whiskey to make Macbeth's tragedy enjoyable to watch. Ticket prices may be on the pricier side if you're on a budget. Do yourself a favor and Lyft it to this theatre in the round located in Downtown, Htown off Travis St. as you will be consuming alcohol. Bar staff needs improvement as our drinks needed to be fetched. Some credit card mix up, but friendly service made up for it. Bravo to a new form of drunk entertainment. Every show is different, and the entire cast did a marvelous job. Here's to a successful run! Break a leg Houston cast!

    Unexpected theatre excursion while on our first visit to Houston. Houston being the 4th largest city in the US and well known for the theatre district, why wouldn't we order tickets to Shakespeare and be know as "cultured" "sophisticated" people from Los Angeles. Well, we should have know that this night was gonna go sideways when we were offered shots when we walked in and encourage to purchase more throughout the show. Of course, the actors/staff aren't hypocrites and they too got in on the drinking action. Non-stop laughs and excitement all night (1.5 hours) and us wishing we'd paid to watch the second performance that night.

    Tonight's feature Macbeth$

    If you are looking for something different to do in Houston, this is the one! The cast was hilarious! Loves their take on W. Shakespeare under the influence . It was completely entertaining from start to finish! We definitely will be back again! I loved the feel of sitting in a study or parlor and you could see what was going on from any angle! It was very chill and really allowed everyone to get in on the fun!

    Went to Houston Improv Comedy Club and had a really great time. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed,…read moreperfect for a night out if you want to laugh and unwind. The seating is comfortable with plenty of space so it never felt crowded or overwhelming. The food was surprisingly good for a comedy venue and the service stood out the most. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the night. The location is also a big plus since there are plenty of restaurants and things to do nearby, which makes it easy to turn your visit into a full evening out. Overall, this is a great spot to go with someone whether it is a date or just a night out with friends. I would definitely come back again.

    Came here for the first time with a group of 4 Yelpers for Houston's own Ali Siddiq. The tickets…read morewere $61.92 per person for table of 4 mid tier seats. And you have to buy a drink/food. I think something like $40 minimum? So all around its around $100 total I would say. The vibe was great. There was a dj, and a good playlist prio too the show. And there was staff to help direct everyone on where to grab tables. Overall it was good crowd and folks of all kinds came ready to have a good time. Food- I got the buffalo wings and a margarita. Both were fine. Service- was fair, I think our server was called Biggie, or something like that? The show was great, had fun!
