Description
They have toured the world, won multiple awards, broken onto London's West End, survived eight consecutive Festival Fringes and once received a zero-star review in The Times! They are Shit-Faced Shakespeare and they are back in Edinburgh with an all-new show for 2019. Featuring a cast of classically trained actors and a single drunken performer thrown into the mix every night. What could possible go right? And to make sure that luck will be on their side, this year they are bringing Macbeth! Is this a lager I see before me? Yes, yes it is.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Watched as the drunk Macbeth almost caused a table to collapse with them and someone else on it after they got too excited. Utterly hillarious.

With the caveat that I am not familiar with Macbeth I found it a pretty weak show. However some people seemed to find it funny. Maybe good if you know Macbeth.

Funny show. Made me go Ha. Go see it.

Very funny rendition of Macbeth. Full of dynamic off script edits to maximise the antics. Great show for a fun night out.

Only funny if you are amused by people pretending to have had a drink. It’s fairly obvious that the “shit-faced” actor isn’t drinking very much. Reminded me of freshers week at university. Would not recommend to anyone aged over 18.

Not really drunk and sipped his beer on stage. Funny he does all his "drinking" off stage. But very would watch again. Very funny. 5 star.

Had a great time at Shitfaced Shakespeare. Saw it last year a few time, and came back for more this year. Wasn't quite as funny this year, but still a good roar. They have a sister show called Shitfaced Showtime. The Shakespeare version is so much better as most of the audience knew the story and the famous lines, which made the drunken mess that followed so much more enjoyable.

Shit-faced Shakespeare back again and didn't disappoint. Quotes from the 5th August:
"Kill them Chris."
"I sure hope nothing bad happens to you Duncan."
"No James, you go off this way."
"You go talk over there whilel I go downstage."
"They don't care about gender identities in Scotland."
"I can't go to Scotland I haven't brought my passport."
"What is this knocking I hear?"
"Amazon delivery for you."

An interesting concept that brings shakespeare more accessable with a well acted performance interjected with a drunken performance. A amusing show that I rated as a 7 out of 10.
