I was super intrigued by this and SO glad we went. This show was hilarious from start to finish. It's a tiny venue and they pack everyone in. The actors were hilarious. One of them gets drunk for the performance and hilarity ensues. You will find lots of foul words, innuendos, and Shakespeare with some modern touches thrown in. I haven't had that much fun at a theater production in ages. Well worth the cost. If you're on the fence, get off the fence and go see this show. You'll love it. read more

We attended Drunk Christmas Carol and had an amazing time. The cast was hilarious and engaging, unlike any show we've seen before. As big fans of Christmas movies, we loved how the show perfectly captured the most iconic moments from all the holiday classics. Highly recommend for a fun and different experience! read more

It's cool that they give you a shot once you enter the theater. The theater is pretty small, but I'd like to think of it as intimate. The show is small in scale, but grand in experience. When you enter the theater they give everyone a shot, just to fit in with the drinking theme. When I went, there were 5 performers. So the premise is simple: performers act out scenes from a Shakespearean play (it was Macbeth when I went) with one performer taking 4 shots right off the get-go. They like to give one shot to an audience member (audience member's choice of which one to take) to prove that the alcohol is real. I just happened to be that audience member for this show. And yes... it was definitely really alcohol. Then the show commences. What ensues is a combination of rehearsed lines with some humorous improvisation from all cast members. I believe them when they say that every show is different because not only does the drunk performer change per show, but many of the jokes play off the audience and the decision from the audience. Just an awesome experience that I highly recommend! read more

This show is amazing; like Shakespeare meets improv meets a pub crawl. Definitely not for those looking to see classic interpretations; brought my whole family including my grandparents and they weren't prepared for the raunchy bits. However, it was such a funny and well paced take on an iconic story. My fiancé and I are sober and enjoyed the mocktails with plenty of belly laughs. Could not recommend more for a date night or evening with friends :) read more

Another FANTASTIC show by the Drunk Shakespeare Company! The actors, as usual, were hilarious and the show was a wonderful combination of A Christmas Carol and many other holiday references. I'm looking forward to more shows in the future (Shakespeare or otherwise -- they've really nailed the last two: Drunk Dracula and Drunk Christmas Carol). Truly, the Drunk Shakespeare Company is a gem for Phoenix. read more

THIS IS A MUST DO!!!! We laughed so hard the entire show. Amazing talent, quaint venue, great drinks... if I could give 10 stars I would. Can't wait to go again. read more

Drunk Shakespeare - Phoenix - Bid on the king and queen spot!!!! - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Pay for balcony, you will have more space unless you want to be upfront and potentially included in the show. Great actors. Loved the mini concert by the Mormon. Is he playing any gigs? For real, we were interested if he's in a band? Anyways, it was weird, funny, intense, raunchy, lots of fucks being thrown around, etc so if you clutch pearls definitely skip this as it's not your typical play experience! Only downside, being seated so closely to people. It's a really tight squeeze. read more

I came a couple weeks ago with a date and we had such an amazing time!! The actors were all incredible and really knew how to work the audience. This is a fully interactive experience, I chugged a beer on stage and my date had her purse "searched", all voluntary of course. It's raunchy, it's loud, it's irreverent. It's absolutely worth every penny, we laughed so hard. The cocktails are delicious as well, though it can be tough to drink and interact with the performance! read more

Drunk Shakespeare - Phoenix - Juliet - Comedy Clubs Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Overall would recommend, however I don't recommend spending more on the front row seats. The show was entertaining and it was a great Christmas gift to give. They sat us in the corner and the ladies i was with couldn't really see which did suck since I splurged on the best tickets. Drinks were good and I would go back just pick different tickets. We saw the drunk christmas carol. read more

Drunk Shakespeare was so much fun. Hilarious, entertaining, and exceeded our expectations. Drinks and service were both excellent. Definitely recommend! read more

Their staff were the friendliest & funny group, so we entered with a smile immediately. The venue is unique, quaint & cozy with perfect seating anywhere. A yummy lil shot of liquor was presented and enjoyed. The show had us in some belly laughs. It is a fun date night for sure. Easy parking just a few feet nearby, across from the Sheraton hotel. read more

5 out of 5 recommend! We went for a date night and subsequently have gifted this to a number of friends and tell everyone we know! This was nothing we expected and so much more. I would 100% go again as the show is never the same way twice. This is not your parents Shakespeare. If you are easily offended or uptight this is not for you. If you are up for up for anything goes and a free for all of fun.. run don't walk to the show. It was a great time! read more

This interactive show was an ABSOLUTE BLAST! This show takes place in the cutest black box theater adorned with books. The theater is small and intimate, this allows for cast members to maximize the space and for cast members to interact with the audience many times throughout the 90-minute show. You are able to order drinks throughout the show. The drink menu showcased a lot of different options, their cocktails were excellent. Our group of five loved the cast and we plan to go again as they perform a different show each night. This show has lots of adult humor so leave the kids at home for this top-notch show. The location of the theater is difficult to find and there is no signage outside so leave with lots of time to find the theater. read more

Drunk Shakespeare is an absolute must do! Great cast and friendly servers/door staff! It's a small intimate theater but makes it that much better. It might be a little tricky to find for some but we saw the line of people, which helped! Get yourself tickets for a evening of non-stop laughing. read more

Best hour and a half of entertainment of my life!!! That was sooooo much fun. My girlfriend, my friend, and I all have August birthdays so we decided to plan this as a girls day. It did not disappoint. This was so awesome, I can't even describe how much fun we had. I loved the improve. I loved the Shakespeare. I loved the actors. I loved the drinks. It was just amazing all around. If you are worried about the price, just splurge! It is totally worth it. They do good and drink service during the show. The actors are amazing and fun. And it was just a good time overall. Note: This is definitely a raunchy but light-hearted show. Not as vicious as Rocky Horror can be but lost of audience participation. So fun! read more

Only mildly funny. Definitely NOT worth the ticket price nor the time. If they had replaced the yelling with talent and creativity it would have improved the experience. Save your hard earned money. read more

Was hoping this would have been more like what was described on the website. One drunk person and the other 4 trying to keep them on track doing Shakespeare. It was more of an improvisation situation for the actors and drinking by the audience was greatly encouraged, (I can't fault them for that though as it's a cocktail bar). Unfortunately for my husband and myself, we did not find it funny at all. The humor was more sophomoric and crass but I suppose if I was drunk like half of the audience, I may have found it somewhat funny. Given the other rave reviews to them on Yelp, I guess we are in the minority with our review. read more

Drunken Shakespeare, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Oops, wrong poet! This is a solid 2 hrs of laugh out loud fun that cannot be missed. Very intimate small theater where you are sitting around the actors while they entertain and they do entertain! If you are looking for something completely different in comedy and theater, it is a must to go to Drunken Shakespeare! read more

I have never been to a show like this, and after going, I'll definitely go again. I went with my wife as something different to do and I'm glad we went. We attended the 2nd show of the night, which I've heard is the better one. We arrived 30 mins early, and we're politely asked to wait outside so that we don't hear any spoilers from the play that was currently going on. We came back at 8:45, 15 mins before the 9p show time, as advised, however we waited outside until 9p, that was a dissatisifer, but understandable; they needed to reset after the first show. Once in, we were seated quickly and surprised with the intimacy of the space. You are up close and personal with the actors, no seat is a bad seat, seriously. The play itself was a ball of fun. The actors were hilarious and did a great job of keeping the audience entertained and pivoting when needed. I personally participated in the play. This is a great thing to do if you are tired of doing the usual movie date. It would be helpful to know which play they were going to do so you don't end up seeing the same play twice, although, it would be different every time regardless. read more

awesome show. had so much fun with the audience interactions and games. drinks were really good too! read more

Laughed so hard my face hurt! This show is a blast. Whoever came up with this concept of a drunk actor doing Shakespeare is brilliant. All the actors are so much fun and it's one of those shows that is never the same twice so I can't wait to see it again! read more

Enjoyed the show. If you knew Shakespeare / Macbeth you would have understood more, still enjoyed the show. Actors were great. The person that was selected to imbibe was not even a main character, so you really couldn't tell his drunkenness. Overall thought is was a good date night, something different to do. Very intimate setting. read more

After dinner our Valentines date night continued at Drunk Shakespeare! SO FUN! Just buy tickets now. I heard there is a Groupon, but we did not use one. No bad seats so don't think you'll miss something buying cost effectively. Also, we got upgraded to stage side upon arrival, so that was nice! WARNING: They treat this like a speakeasy and it is hard to find ON PURPOSE. However, a small group of us wandering around trying to find the same place made for an opportunity to make friends and share the experience. I don't want to spoil all the surprises of the show, but just trust me this is a serious hidden gem (pun intended) and is good for all ages 21+. It's a great time! 10/10 will go back! read more

Last night my wife Jen & I joined some friends and headed out to the Drunk Shakespeare Comedy Show in Phoenix Az. When you enter you are given a Shot right off the bat to get the evening going Then into the Library where the show will be, the Ambiance set up was nice and just the right size to not be over crowded and yet being able to get the audience involved, we had a great time and the cast was great and the show kept going laugh after laugh. We had dinner earlier so for us it was just some pop-corn for Jen ( our DD ) and beers for the rest of us. It was about 10-15min into the show and a couple got up and walked out I'm assuming they were offended by some of the content of the show, so just be aware this is NOT a G or PG show but if you love some funny and raunchy Comedy this is the place, We had a great time and some good out loud laughs the entire show. So what ya waiting for get your tickets and enjoy a night out. read more

Halarious!! We weren't so sure but OMG it was hilarious!!! Would totally go again!!! read more

This show was a lot of fun, even for the two men who were reluctant to see a Shakespeare play. It turned out to be hysterically funny! The drinks were okay, but it would have been helpful to have a table or ledge to set them on when not drinking. I ended up spilling a lot of my drink because the seating was so tight! read more

10 stars! Fun, different, and interactive. The drinks were good, not great, but the show was incredible! Actors and story were on point. Only way to perhaps make it better was to ask for "themes" or character suggestions from the audience. Absolutely a MUST if in Pheonix. read more

We went on Easter Sunday and it was pretty full. They only had 1 bartender but she was great and we didn't wait long for drinks. The show is so, so funny. You do NOT need to know or like Shakespeare to enjoy. It's a very loose rendition, through they do a few speeches. Just go do it. It's super fun! read more

This was an incredible experience. While the food and drink are a bit pricey, the actors and the service were incredible and made up for the cost. I would definitely recommend seeing this if you have the chance. I know I want to go back and experience the different shows and see some of the other actors take on the drink role! read more

TLDR: Worth the visit, comedic & awesome people. Don't go more than once unless you really love Macbeth. Drunk Shakespeare is a wonderful idea played out by a fantastic cast of comedians with a Shakespeare problem. They have a well stocked bar and start the show with an introductory shot for each member of the audience. It is ideal as a date night or activity after dinner. However, my wife and I have gone 3 different times, and each time promised "a different show". And while advertising seems to suggest that this would mean different plays, this is incorrect. After seeing Macbeth for the third time, I can say we will not be back again until there is a change. While it is a good play, I think a play like Romeo and Juliet could fit very well, especially over Valentine's Day (a missed opportunity). read more

We had so much fun! The show was hilarious and extra and so NSFW but we had a great time! Hubs and I were laughing the entire time. Both the cast and the wait staff were super friendly and engaged with the audience constantly. We will most definitely be going again!! read more

Hubby and I have been seeing ads for Drunk Shakespeare and decided to check it out for our anniversary. We got a good deal for tickets on Groupon. We saw Romeo & Juliet. It was HILARIOUS. I saw some reviews that said if you're not drunk you won't enjoy it - false. I was not drunk and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you're not into dirty humor, it may not be for you. The drinks are pretty pricey - $13 for a small jack & coke. Service is great, drinks are served quickly even with a full house and minimal workers. Hubby and I will be returning for another show! We're already planning to bring some friends next time. read more

This was a great show! The actors are hilarious. We are excited to come back for the next one.

The service was fine, nearly excellent. The selection of beers and spirits was commendable considering how small the venue was. However, as you might expect from something called Drunk Shakespeare , the entertainment was vulgar and profane. The actors were talented and entertaining but it just wasn't my cup of tea. And sadly it wasn't worth the time or expense read more

We had no idea what to expect when we purchased tickets. We brought 5 friends with us and every single one of us loved the show! All of the actors were phenomenal in the occasional Shakespearean monologues, combined with current day references and innuendos. I was originally sad that my 14 year old couldn't attend but after seeing the performance, agreed this wasn't the show for her. Perhaps an occasional family-friendly matinee might be a possibility in the future? All in all, everyone loved this experience and I hope to return for more shows! The only thing preventing 5 stars is that drinks were ordered and forgotten. However, after leaving the show to visit the bar to remind them, they were brought out immediately. read more
