October 15: Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare Romeo and 
Juliet

The smash-hit, internationally acclaimed, multi sell-out fringe phenomenon is touring the UK with one of Shakespeare’s most-loved plays, Romeo and Juliet.

Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare is the hilarious combination of an entirely serious adaptation of a Shakespearean classic, with an entirely sh*t-faced cast member.

With one cast member selected at random and given four hours to drink before every show get ready for classical theatre as it was always meant to be seen. With a gin in one hand, a cup of wine in the other and a flagon of ale in the other...what could possibly go wrong?

Sh*t-Faced Shakespeare seeks to introduce a new generation of theatre-goers to the works of the Bard by reviving the raucous, interactive and vibrant nature of Elizabethan theatre with a very modern twist – reminding them as it goes to always enjoy Shakespeare responsibly.

One man. One mission. Is it possible? No, not really.

October 27: Kevin Bloody Wilson

In a world almost drowning in a tsunami of political correctness, Kevin Bloody Wilson stands out as a beacon for PC pushback.
