EXTREMELY chaotic show that starts things off with a free shot. They kinda use the audience as props which can be fun if you're into that sort of thing. Definitely not for everyone, but I had an amazing time here. Morgan did a great job, as did everyone in the cast! read more

Read all the reviews and thought this would be a fun night . A show with laughs , involving the audience. So I bought tickets and invited friends to come along . One couple was pretty much uncomfortable because in some of the scenes it was not expected what they would use as a prop. The one thing I have to say the actors were great . Amazing how they can memorize such a long script . read more

Gifted my son drunk Romeo and Juliet for Christmas and went last nigh in the absolute freezing NYC. It was hilarious and clearly these are great actors because even after 7 shots of tequila the lead crushed it. Really funny, cast was absolutely amazing. Had a great time, Don't think, get tickets now. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: A great drunken party, with a side of Shakespeare. We got some discount tickets through a friend and it seemed like a theater experience right up our alley, as we are not theater people. The theater itself was small and guerilla-style, with seating around the room and the "stage" being the floor in the middle. We were offered a complimentary small cocktail upon arrival and were encouraged to drink throughout the night, as befitting the name of the production. The gimmick here is that one of the leads has to do 4 shots of vodka at the beginning of the play, and possibly 2 more shots during the performance, by the pleasure of the "king and queen" (2 people who opted to pay more $$ to sit in the special seats). The play of the night was Romeo & Juliet, and our Romeo dutifully downed the 4 shots and we were off to the races. All the actors play multiple parts, and everyone was great, we were especially impressed with the guy who played Mercutio and the priest, who had some amazing acrobatic moves and put the sexy in sexy priest when he doffed his habit to grind along to Ginuwine's "Pony", a la Magic Mike! During the performance there were some stopping points, where the king and queen rang a little bell and had Romeo drink some more, which they did. I mean, why wouldn't you? Needless to say, it was total mayhem, but it was really fun and we had a great time. If you're up for some very irreverent Shakespeare, this is for you. read more

Fun and delightfully chaotic. Drunk Shakespeare is a blast. The theater is small but it provides an intimate experience, allowing the actors to interact with the audience. Getting drinks and food is easy as there is a QR code on the chair leg you scan for orders, and service is quick. The concept is simple --one actor is chosen to take shots throughout the show while trying to keep on track of their performance in a Shakespearean play. Overall, an entertaining experience. Also if you can, check out Drunk Dracula during the month of October. read more

Super fun experience while visiting NY. We went during October, so the show changed to Drunk Dracula. The theater is small, so no matter where you sit, you'll see the show easily. The actors were so much fun and very interactive with the audience. You get drinks served to you by scanning the QR code at your seat. Service was great, along with their drinks. Recommend seeing this show, its completely worth it! read more

Went and saw the Halloween special drunk Dracula. This show was absolutely hilarious. Loved it so much and I liked how they were interactive with the audience. Great comedy show. read more

Colloquially, it's an absolute hoot! Bawdy, hilarious and an incredibly intimate atmosphere with theatre characters we all grew up with. We bought tickets based on a rec from an old work colleague. His wife was playing Juliet and It was a delightful way to spend our last night in NYC. Would go again! read more

Hard to follow.. It's called "Drunk Shakespeare" yet sadly, the only drink they freely provide is a weak shot at the start. The rest you're on your own. It's obnoxious and hard to follow along. The performance is forced and I did not laugh even once. I would save your money and just go to a bar with some witty peo instead. It'd be cheaper and you would have a better time, in my opinion ‍ read more

Lots of laughs! Great crew....and drink along with the cast! Fun night, bring a seat cushion...lol read more

My boss got me tickets to Drunk Shakespeare one holiday and I had a great time. The show was hilarious. I hope to go again one day, every show is unique. read more

Wonderful performance and great little venue. They keep it funny, fun and short enough not to get annoying. Drinks are slow but for this kind of event reasonably priced. I would absolutely recommend. read more

Drunk Shakespeare - Drunk Dracula for October! - Performing Arts Near Me - New York, New York

Honestly disappointed by the misrepresentation of what this show is. I bought tickets for Valentine's Day, thinking this would be a mostly comedic take on Romeo & Juliet & ended up watching people play fight with dildos & other overtly sexualized gestures. This show was more sex than comedy which was also just not as funny as the reviews claim. The food was also meh, not a lot to choose from. The staff service was good but the bathrooms where were tiny & dirty. Honestly I'm disappointed & felt extremely misled by the other reviews & the description of the show in the fever app. I reached out for a refund & they denied & now I'm going through my credit card company to dispute the charges given the gross difference between what product was advertised vs the actual experience was. Seriously, your better off going to the movies than wasting $ on this. read more

Amazing! Such a fantastically entertaining show! If you have the chance, sit close, drink lots and revel in the talent!

The show was so entertaining that I saw it twice this past weekend. Service was great and the staff was attentive. The cast was versatile and excellent with their characters and improvisation. Not your typical Shakespearean play but definitely one fitting for the times we are in. I would highly recommend this production if you're looking for something fun and different to watch. read more

Ehhh the reviews were good on Google and yelp. It was $29 on Groupon. It wasn't that funny to be honest. they are lucky I didn't pay full price. I would've been totally pissed. Also the drinks were $20 and there was no liquor in it at all so this is just a ploy to get you to come by drinks at the bar. The lady comes around with the last call sign when it's almost over but why buy non-alcoholic drinks I don't think the actors are really drinking. It wasn't funny to me, but to each his own. read more

Unless slapstick drunk humor is your type of humor, I wouldn't recommend this show with all due respect to the actors. I honestly am shocked actors would sign up to take multiple shots for the entertainment of the audience night after night - their poor livers! The best part of the show would be the environment. Another part features an auction to be "part of the show" - seriously do not fall for it. Other than the bottle of Moet (probably lukewarm?) the duo paid $600 that night and it felt like a gimmicky cash grab. read more

If you're not necessarily a fan of Shakespeare, but your wife is then Drunk Shakespeare is a definite win/win compromise. First off everyone is offered a shot on the way in. That's a positive start right there. The drinks are a bit pricey, but hey you are in New York so get over yourself and enjoy. There is drink service right to your seat throughout the show. There's also not a bad seat anywhere within the cozy little performance area. Finally the performers are just fun people enjoying what they are doing. Plenty of energy and plenty of laughs. I was so pleasantly surprised with the overall experience. Keep up the great work Drunk Shakespeare. read more

Drunk Shakespeare - The cast posing with our honorary patron queen - Performing Arts Near Me - New York, New York

This show was amazing. Loved the actors and audience interaction. Would come and watch again.

Total chaos, super funny, with a bit of everything. Improv at it's finest is the only way to describe it. Your ticket comes with a shot included ( it is drunk Shakespeare after all).I honestly did not remember Macbeth storyline since I read this ages ago in high school. I went with zero expectations, and it was honestly such a unique fun experience. Balcony seats are best in this small library theater,but that's my personal preference. Get the Groupon and save some $$. Bring your friends and prepare to laugh so hard. Definitely do it at least once. read more

Hysterical experience with a great cast and service. They started promptly and the drinks are lovely. They start the evening with complementary shots and let you order from your seat during the performance. The cast was great, very entertaining, and hysterical. Definitely a fun night and can make for a great date as well if you're willing to be adventurous and a bit out there. read more

Where to begin...this experience was amazing! Start to finish, the host, the staff....full of energy, welcoming, helpful, and attentive. My wife and I laughed so much and the entire company so talented! Romeo and Juliet is our favorite and this definitely exceeded our expectations. Drinks were great and a great menu for every taste. Definitely recommend to check out drunk shakespeare....Yassss Queen! read more

OMG! What an experience. We laughed so much and had a great time. The entire cast is so talented and entertaining. The improv and the jokes are so relevant. They update their material to keep up with pop culture. They performed Macbeth and crushed it. Even if you don't know Shakespeare it is worth checking out for the humor alone. Highly recommend read more

Had the opportunity to see Drunk Shakespeare (NYC). Had lots of laughers and cheerfulness. Drunk Shakespeare consists of a group of fun, talented and great actors and actress. I felt as though they were my cool and chilled friends performing for me. I'd seriously liked how they'd engaged the audience as much as they can throughout the play. Haha! For food/drinks; I'd ordered a Greek salad along with a Coney Island Mermaid Pilsner respectively. Highly recommend seeing this play if you are looking for a different musical vibe. You can get affordable tickets on today's ticket. read more

What a great find! We weren't too sure about what to see on our visit and I'm glad we chose this. Absolutely what we needed after running around site seeing. Great drinks, superb laughter. We ordered drinks during show thru their QR code and it was all easy and contactless and never interrupted the show. The library decore was quirky, the actors/ comedians were definitely spot on for entertainment. Would definitely recommend. read more

Such a fun date night or a friends hang out. Without spoiling it - it expect some modern twist to Shakespeare and an interactive experience. The actors were great and no seat is a bad seat! Definitely worth a visit read more

The fact that this play has been going strong for over 10+ years is a testament to how good it is! I needed to make last minute birthday plans and this was the PERFECT choice! Everyone was laughing out loud! The actors are wildly talented and a triple threat- expect improv, drinking, dirty jokes, and occasional singing (which, they have the voice of angels)! To say Drunken Shakespeare exceeded our expectations would be an understatement! 5 stars all around, affordable and memorable. I'll be back as no two shows are the same!!!! read more

So much fun on a Monday night!! The cast do an excellent job of involving the audience. The cast our night--Chris, Christian, Michelle, Nate, and Sarah. Ninety mins of side-splitting laughter. They do have a selection of nosh, and their bar menu includes mocktails (I appreciated being included, as a sober person). Very fun--highly recommended!!! read more

So we got the pulsd.com voucher for mezzanine tix and OMG we were laughing so hard! It was such a great experience. the actors were amazing and the vibe was so fun. We al participated as well so it felt like you were a part of the crew. As they get more drunk you'll be LOL-ing like crazy. Highly recommend! read more

Worst 100 bucks I've spent in awhile. Didn't find it that funny. Overall was okay. Cool venue though. One of the cast members kept hitting on my friend to the point she got very uncomfortable. Would've honestly paid 25 max read more

Funny af, the actors are great and hilarious and the drink service was phenomenal. Woukd definitely come again. The ambiance is great and the lighting and sounds are spot on for a small theater. read more

Had the chance to see this performance front row and it was so much fun. The venue is really small and intimate. Actors will literally perform in front of you, and interact with you, a LOT! So if you prefer to watch only, I wouldn't take the front seats. When doors open the host gives a welcome "shot" to every ticket holder, not really sure if there was any alcohol in it but tasted sweet and good. The drinks served at the bar are $18 / $20 each, we had the old fashion and the Manhattan and they were good but average. Probably a smarter choice would be to order wine or beer. Service was excellent! Definitely worth seeing the show, the cast is incredibly talented and during 90 minutes they'll make you laugh. read more

This show is part play, part improv, and all parts AMAZING! I don't think I stopped smiling through the entire performance. The actors were fantastic and I was in awe of their ability to chug a beer, then perform a soliloquy and continue on the production. I would highly recommend anyone (21+) go see Drunk Shakespeare if you want a great night full of drinks, Renaissance writing, and uncontrollable laughter. read more

Absolutely great show. The slayer drink was delicious. Sorry I broke the glass

From the walk-in to claim the tickets to the end this place left an imprint. Welcome drink, cozy seating, upfront, and personal service, laughs and much much more! Performers were spectacular. We experienced more than we hoped for. It's definitely a gym in a city in late hours when you need a little good time, laugh, and enjoy. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience! read more

The performance is held at The Ruby Theatre (wooden bench seats). As you enter the theatre, you are given an alcoholic drink. Then an auction is held before the show to choose the king and queen. The reigning royalty receives a bottle of champagne and caviar to watch the show wearing their crowns. It's quite hilarious. The show starts with an actor drinking 5 shots of whiskey. Being drunk, the actor and the other 4 actors improvise the story of Macbeth. There is song, dance, audience participation, laughter, profanity, sexual overtones, political references, profanity, and a hand puppet. Only drinks are served. read more

The most you can have in an hour and a half. The cast was excellent and the atmosphere was laid back. Loved every minute!

Fantastic atmosphere, laughing the whole time. Audience engaged. One of the actors gets drunk. All actors ad lib hilariously. Would definitely come again. Wife and I loved it. read more

Laughs, Laugh, and Laugh some more! If you're going, expect a lot of it. Loved everything about it, and if you lean high brow, don't let the name fool you. These folks are professional and in between silly skits of randomness and humor, the actors will start acting true Shakespeare. The actors are truly skilled and the red head is nothing short of spectacular! read more

Amazing show entertaining and they were super talented !! Thank you for sharing your talent and amazing acting
