    Our seats with actual books behind us
    Michelle C.

    My friends and I had such a great time at this show for my birthday. We saw Romeo and Juliet. The theater is decorated in such a fun theme. The theater is small and intimate. They welcome you with an optional welcome alcohol shot. The play is interactive with the audience. The actors were fabulous. You can order food and drinks from your seat which are delivered to you throughout the performance. The service was fantastic. I will definitely be back and would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun comedy experience.

    Our daughter purchased us tickets for this event for Christmas and when I popped online after we got them, I realized that this show was ending soon and another beginning (drunk Christmas carol)- so we grabbed the last day it's a little difficult to find the entrance door because of the construction on third Street but if you walk to the center of Arizona center and follow the signs, you will be basically taking a right in front of the bank of America and then a left and you'll see a colored door that is the entrance to the event. The space is pretty small and holds about 80 people at full capacity. It is all hard bench seating and the shows last exactly 90 minutes. There will be an opportunity to auction who wishes to be King and queen, and you'll have a lovely upholstered chairs as well as a bottle of champagne and some snacks. For our event, it was someone's birthday so they popped for those seats. The show is probably not for you if you're easily offended as it is quite bawdy and raucous, but great fun!! note that if you opt for the floor seats, which is basically the first row of three bench rows, you most likely will be participating in the show so be prepared for that You are also given a shot to drink upon entry and then they have QR codes so you can order other drinks and snacks as you wish. A beer was seven dollars and they had a decent Chardonnay for $12. You can also get some small snacks like pretzels and such. These people are very talented not only in comedy, but one guy could sing and play guitar like nobody's business One of the cast is singled out at the beginning of each show to do four shots and then there are two opportunities later where the king and queen decide if that character has to take another shot and of course they almost always do. And they must stay in complete form for the show so it is really quite funny. make sure to take a Waymo or an Uber or a Lyft of course :) I have no idea what the show cost since they were gifted tickets but if you're looking for something unique and funny, this might be good for you !

    TO PEE, OR NOT TO PEE.... That is the question. Doth thee dare risk breaking the seal in the middle of the show?? You may want to evacuate your bladder before the play or you will miss parts of the show going back and forth to the restroom. Or even worse, you might laugh so hard you will end up peeing your pants! I saw Drunk Dracula, but all their shows follow a similar format. As you enter the room, you are handed a specialty shot of alcohol concocted by the bartender. For all you lushes, there is a bar to keep the drinks flowing... like blood (dracula joke) but you're gonna need it, because there is a drink-on-queue opportunities throughout the show. The room is pretty small, and close quarters, seating about 40 people. The seats are bench seating so be prepared to sit upright for over an hour almost shoulder to shoulder. But if your back is hurting just reading that, the top seats around the perimeter are bar style seating on stools with a narrow counter in front of you. Don't fret, there is not a bad seat in the house; it's 10 feet from the top seat to the floor. These shows are like a Frat Party meets 'Whose Line Is It Anyways' if it took place in the GLOBE THEATER. Drunk Dracula was a riot. You can enjoy sinking shots while you watch Dracula sinks his teeth into his victim. The show is very interactive. The King and Queen (designated to whoever is the highest bidder) can dictate parts of the show's plot when they are given choices by the actors, as well as determines when the actors must drink shots. It's quite the power trip! I wouldn't be surprised if you'd want to wear a crown around your house afterwards. There are mini games throughout the show where audience members become contestants, and of course, losers DRINK! This is a high energy show complete with song and dance. It's a got all the elements to be a thespian's Midsummer Night's Dream come true! Dracula is known to suck, but the show does not; it is hysterical! The actor will occasionally break character, and also joke with audience amid their act and ad lib. You can Count on Drunk Dracula to give you good laugh and a good buzz.

    Had an amazing time, lots of laughs for sure. If you don't like sexual jokes then this performance is definitely not for you. My only complaint is that it was wooden bench style setting and it was very uncomfortable to sit still there for 1.5 hours. There isnt even room to stretch your legs unless you are in the front row. They offer and option to order drinks/pay from your phone and they were delivered pretty swiftly!

    Such a fun evening to go on a date or a girls night out! Very small Cocktail menu to be aware of which IMHO is the only negative, but they do have wine and beer on the menu. The actors are phenomenal and great at improv. It will definitely be a memorable night!

    Angel D.

    EVERYONE in Arizona should experience this! Date night, birthday group, anniversary party, bachelor party, back to school teachers, college field trip- ALL OF THE ABOVE!! In my case- therapy bonding activity. It's so much fun. You do NOT need to be a drinker to enjoy this. I was sober and had a complete blast! Had me weak in my knees. Key note to those in the throne: RING YOUR BELL!! Angela was hilarious followed by the stars: Ryan, ksjusha and the handsome bald gentleman who we had intensity crisis with every time he had a new cosplay act. We thought there were more than 4 actors at one point. Sorry your name isn't on the website sir.... Unless another identity change ....perhaps with hair?? All of them were absolutely wonderful. We highly recommend to anyone who wants to have a fun night out!

    Drunk Shakespeare is a great evening of entertainment. The abridged version of "Romeo and Juliet" as performed by a cast of five actors is full of pop culture references, bawdy humor, improvisation and the most famous scenes from the play. And one of the actors takes four shots of vodka before the show, which adds to the laughs. Some negative reviews have been left by people who were dismayed by the adult content, so please be advised: The are a lot of sex jokes in the performance, along with, well, I won't spoil things, but the show is not for prudes. It's definitely R-rated, so make your decision to attend or not accordingly. If I had one quibble, it's that the signature cocktails are quite expensive for how not-strong they are. If I were to go back, I'd get something in a can. Also note that seating is bleacher-style and the back row is the only seating option with any back support, in case that's an issue for you. Overall, Drunk Shakespeare was a blast, and I would go again.

    Turn up your volume when listening to these videos so you can get a sneak peak of all your in for My boyfriend surprised me with a date night to Drunk Shakespeare I had no idea I was in for such a special treat Even if you aren't a Shakespeare fan you're still gonna love this The venue is small and intimate which allows you to really participate and get into the plot Add in the fact that they love audience participation and pull members from the crowd to help bring scenes to life I've never laughed so hard Seriously my cheeks were hurting after the show And you know how most places like this have great entertainment but crappy cocktails I'm pleased to announce that the cocktails are strong The entertainment is top notch There's no way you won't enjoy yourself

    The fun ass humor !!!
    Alexia H.

    LITERALLY !!! could not stop laughing. This cast had me in a chokehold from start to finish. Every single actor was phenomenal, unhinged in the best way, and fully committed to the chaos. The way they pulled the crowd in? Elite. I felt like part of the show and honestly... I didn't mind one bit. I was entertained, unbothered, and sipping like royalty the entire time. 10 out of 10 a messy, brilliant, absolutely iconic night.

    Nicole S.

    This show was hilarious! We received complimentary drinks at the door. Additional drinks and snacks were available to order and served right at your seat. The show was very entertaining and pretty off-script. We really enjoyed the show and intimate setting. The seats, however, are very uncomfortable. I'd recommend brining a seat cushion with you.

    Went to Drunk Christmas Carol. I was so hilarious. The actors did and amazing job and kept the story going strong. Don't know how they did it! Great improv. Must go see it!

    How are seats assigned? When you buy your ticket? Or do they seat you as you arrive to the venue?

    You pick your seats

    Are there other performances beside Macbeth? Or is that just the one that lends itself best to the drunken theme. Fun show, by the way!

    I saw Romeo and Juliet tonight.

    Does the late show start right at 9pm on the dot?

    Nope

    Is there a way to resell tickets? We have two mezzanine seats for this Saturday April 22 at 5pm but are unable to go.

    I think you should be fine just selling them to whomever. They checked our IDs to make sure we're over 21, but they didn't seem to care about the tickets beyond them being real. I don't think it matters if the person/people who originally bought the… Read more
