Sh!t-faced Shakespeare
Hamlet
Winner – Best Comedy Weekly Award, Adelaide Fringe 2025
The hilarious, smash-hit, internationally acclaimed, multi sell-out comedy festival phenomenon returns to Brisbane 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.

“No-holds-barred ecstasy” ★★★★★ – Broadway Baby
“Hilarious” ★★★★★ – The Advertiser
“A hilarious, laugh-a-minute riot.” ★★★★ – Clothesline
