    Fun Off Broadway show
    The concept - a group of improv actors perform one of William Shakespeare's plays except one of the performers will take four shots of alcohol (and potentially two more during the play) before it starts. Very funny show and great job by all those involved including the red-headed actress (whose name I can't recall and was the lucky imbiber for the evening), delivering her 300th performance. The show was about an hour and a half but it flew by and included audience participation.

    Best Show I’ve Been To In A Long Time
    If I had laughed any harder I would’ve peed my pants. This is hands down one of the best shows I’ve been to and I recommend it to anyone and everyone. If you like you drink, if you like drunk people, if you like acting or Shakespeare or just fun in general, GO SEE THIS SHOW.

    I cried from laughing so hard!
    This show was absolutely fantastic! If you need a good laugh, look no further. The show is a mix of improve with a play thrown in. The actors/comedians are some of the best I've seen, and I have seen my fair share. You don't need to drink to have a good time, the actors drink enough for everyone! But if you decide to, their cocktails are delicious. Make sure to buy stage-side tickets if you want to be part of the show. They interact with audience members throughout the show, defiantly worth the extra couple of dollars. Other seats are good too if you don't want to splurge or are on the more shy side! You'll still have a great time.

This was a hilarious show. The actors are gifted at improv. A great way to spend my Saturday night. If you have the chance to stop by and see it.

This was the by far the worst display of “acting” I have ever seen, but for it being the cheapest off broadway show to see in nyc (charging $20 a head), I guess you get what you paid for. A free shot at the entrance and the entertainers basically doing their best impression of only god knows what with one another while getting drunk. A disappointing event to waste your money on for sure & There was barely any Shakespeare!!!!

Though I’m not a huge fan of going to Broadway shows or Shakespeare, I do enjoy watching drunk people try to do things like they’re not drunk. This show had us laughing most of the time. They mixed in some topical humor for added laughs and involved audience members in the show for a truly 1 of a kind performance. Would highly recommend this.

A fantastically hilarious night - the actors have this amazing blend of improv chops AND the ability to drop into the text. Brilliant. Love it. Will go again.

Since 5 is the highest ranking then I’ll settle for that. Ever want to laugh, cry, get buzzed and slightly aroused around some strangers then this is for you!!!! The cast is amazing but I think that might be an understatement. Very interactive, small theater with a cast that is larger than life. Fair prices on the cocktails which were delicious! If you want a fun off bear night you MUST go!!! You will not be disappointed!!

Such a hilarious and fun experience! Like a lot of other views said, this was an immersive experience & unlike anything I’ve ever seen. If you can take crude humor and have a little bit of Shakespeare knowledge, this is definitely worth it! Even my mom doesn’t have Shakespeare knowledge and was laughing from start to finish

Went along for the evening not knowing too much and it was great fun. They say they’re a drinking society that loves Shakespeare and it definitely makes the bard a lot more accessible.

It’s immersive so your can get involved with the performance but there’s a hands off option for those who’d rather just watch. I won’t say more but if you like immersive theatre, drinking and a little culture definitely one to visit

We were here in 2016 so we knew what we were in for and this show did not disappoint. The cast was incredible and kept us laughing constantly. They are masters of wit, comedy, song and oh, yeh...Shakespeare!

No two shows are alike, but they all have hilarity and rude/crude fun.

We'll be back!

Not a Shakespeare fan. But I enjoyed the performance immensely. The improv and audience inclusion was hilarious. Great start to the Father's Day weekend
