Shit-Faced Shakespeare is a pioneering theatrical experience founded in the United Kingdom in 2010 by Magnificent Bastards. What began on the Edinburgh Fringe circuit evolved into a globally recognized phenomenon, mixing a serious abridged Shakespeare play with a single intoxicated performer while the rest of the cast improvises in response. Since expanding to the United States in 2015 with performances in Boston, the show has earned numerous awards and a devoted following across continents. 2025 marks the 15th anniversary of Shit-Faced Shakespeare, with renewed tours that bring Hamlet to both the UK and US audiences.
