Theatrical & Hilarious! - It’s a must go show! Intimate setting, no bad seat in the house. Front row seats get to interact with performers. Hilarious and fun atmosphere.

The show was funny and... - The show was funny and engaging, with an interesting cast that brought plenty of personality and energy to the performance. The audience interaction added to the fun and made the experience feel more personal. There were plenty of moments that made me laugh, and the cast kept things lively throughout. One surprise was that our production was changed to Dracula unexpectedly. That would not have been my first choice, especially since I was expecting Drunk Shakespeare. I would have appreciated advance notice so I could decide whether the different production was something I wanted to see. My other reservation was the amount of foul language. I expected adult humor, but the profanity felt excessive at times. For me, clever innuendos and witty dialogue would have been more enjoyable and just as funny. Overall, it was an entertaining evening with an engaging cast, but travelers should confirm which production they’re booking and be comfortable with frequent profanity and adult humor. The performance had plenty of personality; a little more subtlety in the comedy would have made it a better experience for me.

Fun and unique experience - There is absolutely NO bad seat in the place! We sat in the very front, right on the stage basically. So you’re right in the action! Two members of our party were apart of the show and it was a lot of fun! So just be aware of that if you’re in the front and you’re not wanting to be in the spot light. They make it so fun tho if you are apart of the show. The wait staff are phenomenal with your drink orders. This is a very fun experience. We got to see the last weekend of The Pirates! So fun! Would definitely recommend for a unique experience.

Drunk Pirates - On this particular night, they did Drunk Pirates instead of Drunk Shakespeare. No matter, we still had fun!

It was a leap and one I would gladly take again. - First time ever attending and I did not know what I was expecting but it exceeded my expectations. All staff were warm and welcoming. Hilariously staffed to perfection. It is not a huge venue so you get an intimate feel and the show was great!

bad acoustics - We could not hear the dialogue because the sound was distorted. Though the show takes place in a small theater the acoustics were bad. So every now and then we caught a word but that was it. Also, the guy who was supposed to be drunk didn't seem drunk.
