Winner – Best Comedy Weekly Award, Adelaide Fringe 2025
The internationally acclaimed, smash-hit comedy phenomenon returns to Sydney, inviting audiences to experience Shakespeare… responsibly (or not).
Sh!t-faced Shakespeare is a brilliantly chaotic collision of highbrow theatre and lowbrow hilarity — where a fully committed cast performs a classic Shakespearean play… while one actor is genuinely, unapologetically drunk. The result? A completely unpredictable, laugh-out-loud spectacle where absolutely anything can — and usually does — happen.
This season takes on Hamlet, reimagining the tale of a brooding prince, family betrayal, and dramatic revenge into a riotous, no-holds-barred comedy experience. Expect sword fights, soliloquies, and spectacular derailments as the inebriated cast member attempts to keep up with the script — or gleefully abandons it altogether.
No two performances are ever the same, making each night a one-of-a-kind theatrical event filled with improvisation, chaos, and outrageous audience interaction.
Be warned: this show embraces the unexpected. It may include drinking, swearing, nudity, simulated adult themes, questionable singing, and — somewhere in the madness — a surprising amount of actual Shakespeare.
Critics and audiences alike can’t get enough:
“The most fun I’ve ever had at the Festival… tears streaming down my face from laughing” ★★★★★ — Collage Adelaide
“No-holds-barred ecstasy” ★★★★★ — Broadway Baby
“Hilarious” ★★★★★ — The Advertiser
“A laugh-a-minute riot” ★★★★ — Clothesline
Wild, unpredictable, and outrageously funny, Sh!t-faced Shakespeare is the ultimate night out for anyone who loves theatre — or just loves watching it fall gloriously apart.
Grab your tickets and prepare for Shakespeare like you’ve never seen before.
