Information
Approximate Running Times: Doors - 9:20pm Start - 9:30pm Finish - 10:30pm WINNER - BEST COMEDY WEEKLY AWARD - ADELAIDE FRINGE 2025 The hilarious, smash-hit, internationally acclaimed, multi sell-out comedy festival phenomenon returns to Melbourne to help you enjoy Shakespeare responsibly! Sh!t-faced Shakespeare is the hilarious blend of an entirely serious Shakespeare play with an entirely sh!t-faced actor. What could possibly go right? With a genuinely inebriated cast member each night, no two shows are ever the same in this raucous, riotous rampage through one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies, the story of a privileged whiny lad who goes a bit bonkers and does some stabbings, Hamlet. Warning, this show includes a genuinely drunk performer, and anything could happen. This show may contain drinking, swearing, nudity, simulated acts of a sexual nature, terrible singing, actual acts of a sexual nature, and quite possibly - some actual Shakespeare.
