And after 18 years of stand-up comedy, he’s ready to talk about himself. It will be funny. It will be surprising. It will be personal.

Approximate Running Times: Doors - 8:20pm Start - 8:30pm Finish - 9:30pm WINNER - BEST COMEDY WEEKLY AWARD - ADELAIDE FRINGE 2025 The hilarious, smash-hit, internationally acclaimed, multi sell-out comedy festival phenomenon returns to Melbourne 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. Warning, this show includes a genuinely drunk performer, and anything could happen. This show may contain drinking, swearing, nudity, simulated acts of a sexual nature, terrible singing, actual acts of a sexual nature, and quite possibly - some actual Shakespeare.

There is no one else that comes close to the phenomenon that is Dave Hughes. Behind that cooked looking facade is a mind that works like no other. Dave has carved out a large place in the Australian cultural landscape for good reason. His take on the world around him is unique, ever changing, and not to be missed. His shows are events that live long in the memory. Now more brutally honest than ever, not only is he Australia’s best stand up comedian, he is as good as it gets anywhere on the planet. Book today. As seen on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here and Taskmaster Australia. “A master of his trade.” ★★★★★ The Advertiser Duration 60min Recommended for ages 15+ Under 18s must be accompanied by a parent/guardian Contains occasional coarse language and adult themes General Admission
