"Drink Sir, Is A Great Provoker..."

The stage is set in a hidden venue. Five professional actors meet as members of The Drunk Shakespeare Society. One of them has 5 shots of whiskey and then attempts to perform a major role in a Shakespearean play. Hilarity and mayhem ensue while the four sober actors try and keep the script on track. Every show is different depending on who is drinking… and what they’re drinking!

Craft cocktails are available for purchase throughout the show.

Joey Herrera

His name is Joey, and he likes movies. One hard seltzer later and he'll start reciting 'Scarface' or try to convince you why 'Die Hard' is a Christmas flick. If we were to compare Joey's resume to Adam Sandler's, Drunk Shakespeare would be his 'Uncut Gems', with a hint of that good ol' Billy Madison flair. With that said, Joey is wickedly stoked to bring this society to downtown Houston. You can follow him on insta here: @jh.eazy

Gabriel Velazquez

Gabe once peed himself in first grade during gym class. Ever since that day, he knew he wanted to be a Shakespearean performer.

FAQ

Drunk Shakespeare is strictly a 21+ show. We ID everyone at the door.

Drunk Shakespeare is held inside an intimate, immersive speakeasy where every seat is a great one. The performance space is set up “in the round.” Stage Side seats are front row and get you closest to the action. Mezzanine seats are second row, and Balcony seats are third row. If you opt for the Royalty Experience you will sit upon the royal throne.

Do you even have to ask? Of course! Order cocktails right from your seat and our full service bar will deliver them to you during the show. A limited selection of small snacks are also available.

No.

Not at all! Drunk Shakespeare is a hilarious experience for drinkers and non-drinkers alike. 

Nope. Drunk Shakespeare has been a hit with hardcore Shakespeare buffs and people who’ve never read a lick of the bard’s work alike! It’s just a really great time, man.

No.

Our full service bar offers a wide range of drinks to order including specialty themed cocktails, wine, beer, and spirits. Order right from your seat and have the drink delivered to you during the show. Bet ol’ Willy Shakes would have approved of that!

No.

Yes, the actors are really drinking! 

Our drunk actors are on a regular rotation system and are carefully monitored at all times. Drinking in moderation can be fun. Drinking to excess can ruin your life. We promote healthy drinking.

That has literally never existed
