Sh!t-faced Shakespeare Hamlet
Winner Best of Comedy Weekly Award 2025 Adelaide Fringe
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.

Feedback/Comments
Very clever
So much humour intertwined with the drama of Hamlet
An entertaining spin on a well-known text that strips away all the silk and finery of the monarchic story and shreds it down into a plebeian brawl that was nonetheless entertaining and hilarious.
Simple and funny
not my cup of tea
Very funny improv.
A little shorter than i was expecting, and I think more enjoyable if the audience member also has a few drinks in them
