"My naked weapon is out."
The smash-hit, internationally acclaimed, award-winning, multi sell-out fringe phenomenon is coming to {Theater} with their version of Romeo and Juliet. There is no love lost between the Capulet and Montague families and everyone in Verona knows it. Certainly the only way to mend centuries of bad blood is by having two star-crossed teenage lovers from opposite households get married in secret, right? Nothing that a swig (or two) of the finest spirits can’t fix! Featuring Shakespeare’s most famous feuding family, cousins without a cause, and so many faux deaths it makes daytime TV look good.

About Shit-faced Shakespeare
An entirely serious Shakespeare play, with an entirely shit-faced cast member
The original, award winning, international smash-hit direct from London’s West End to an American theatre near you!
_______________________________________________
Founded in 2010 in the UK and first arriving on US shores back in 2015. Shit-faced Shakespeare® has delighted audiences from Boston to Austin and all over the States with their highfalutin cocktail of traditional Elizabethan theatre and balls-to-the-wall drunken shenanigans. Accept no poor relations, pale imitations or paltry recreations, see the authentic Shit-faced Shakespeare® show which started it all.
Featuring local casts of the finest actors, the choicest cuts of Shakespearian classics and more inebriated antics than you can violently shake a thespian at! Shit-faced Shakespeare® is the unique theatrical experience that has left audiences roaring in the aisles the world over.
_______________________________________________
We at Shit-faced Shakespeare® are a rather splendid bunch of actors, performers, writers, producers, artists and - most importantly - friends. We exist to produce exquisite theatrical shows, superb live events and provide a handy outlet for mucking-about, showing-off and practicing the noble art of fancy dress!
Unlike other troupes of thespian types we differ in our utter contempt for restraint, orthodoxy, tedium, moderation and sobriety. To be a part of Shit-faced Shakespeare® is to fuck about, play, experiment, step right over the bounds of convention and sometimes even decency, all the while never forgetting to entertain. We are Shit-faced Shakespeare® and we are genuinely tremendous people.
Content Curious? Our shows feature murder, treason, war, violence (personal, sexual, and national), suicide, regicide, incest, and blasphemy- and that is just the Shakespeare! Our drinker has been known to contribute profanity, and the occasionally bare butt-cheek. If any of this puts you off, maybe another show is more your speed.
But also, we do have sword fights, loud sounds, and flashing lights if those affect your person.
*Seating not guaranteed for General Admission; In the event of a SELL OUT, some GA ticket purchases will be standing room only. Arrive early to secure your seats. Preferred Seating tickets guarantee seating directly in front of the stage. Limited PS tickets available.*
Be on time... If you have not arrived at the venue 30 minutes after the start of showtime, your tickets will be cancelled and your seat may be sold to the next customer. No refunds will be given under this circumstance. Empire Comedy Club reserves this right on all ticketed events.
