An image of three ghostly figures, atop each other like in a human pyramic. They are in old fashioned shakespearean outfits and one is holding a skull and a bottle of liquor.

Sh!t-faced Shakespeare - Hamlet

WINNER – BEST COMEDY WEEKLY AWARD - ADELAIDE FRINGE 2025

The hilarious, smash-hit, internationally acclaimed, multi sell-out festival phenomenon returns to Adelaide 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.

"The most fun I've ever had at the Festival. I left with tears streaming down my face & a sore belly from laughing far far too hysterically hard" ★★★★★ - Collage Adelaide
