Sh!t-faced Shakespeare® have toured the world, broken America, established themselves on London’s West End, won numerous awards, and survived a zero-star review in The Times. In 2025, they will be celebrating 15 years on the wagon with one of the Bard’s most popular tragedies, Hamlet. Featuring a cast of professional Shakespearean actors, this unique production takes an unpredictable twist each night as one performer is chosen to be deliberately intoxicated for up to four hours before showtime. The rest of the cast must then navigate the play, improvising their way through the unpredictable chaos that springs from their inebriated colleague’s booze-fuelled antics. Sh!t-faced Shakespeare ® ️ are excited to once again drunkenly stomp all over the greatest dramatic work ever committed to page in the English language: the story of a privileged whiny lad who goes a bit bonkers and does some stabbings. “How the hell did they make it to 15 years?!” we hear you cry.

Boggarts, ghosts and things that go burp in the night! A silly, spooky, storytelling family show with storyteller Gav Cross.

It’s the glitziest night of the year, and everyone wants to be there, from the great to the good. The Bentleys are parked, the Jazz band has arrived, and the magician is magic, so pick up your invite for this fundraising frenzy. But behind the bow ties and fake tans there are jealousies and avarice, divorces and affairs This is upstairs meets downstairs through a drunken gaze. The raffle is ready, the coffee is cold, the service is awful, the Guest speaker is drunk and the hard-pressed caterers just want to go home. By turns satirical and touching, Godber turns his laser gaze onto the Black Tie Ball in all its sophisticated pomp. Told in his signature visceral style, this hilarious comedy sees the hotel staff recount an entire evening at breakneck speed from arrival at seven to carriages at midnight. Being short staffed has never been so funny!
