Approximate Running Times: Doors - 9:20pm Start - 9:30pm Finish - 10:30pm 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.

Merrick Watts returns to the Melbourne Comedy Festival with a brand-new wine tasting comedy show at Melbourne's newest MICF hotspot Spiegel Haus.  Mez (who, surprisingly, has genuine wine chops and, unsurprisingly, is an idiot) has been busy meticulously “researching” new wines for this latest show. It’s hard work, but someone’s got to do it. For the uninitiated, An Idiot’s Guide to Wine is a wine tasting unlike any other. Each guest sips six wines, handpicked by Mez while he dishes out wine facts, food pairing suggestions and jokes about the French.  Previous shows have been performed at arts festivals, wineries, town halls, casinos, and New Zealand shopping malls, but The Spiegeltent is the most elegant of them all. This is the perfect way to spend a festival afternoon, with great mates, great wines, and great comedy.   In Volume 3, expect unexplored varietals, fresh wine regions and new stories. Everything’s new… except the idiot. “Get together with some of your wine loving friends and grab what remaining tickets you can to be led through a wine tasting with one of Australia’s best comedians.” ★★★★★ Glam Adelaide ** All shows will be held in the Empire Tent on the Spiegel Haus Rooftop, except for the 2pm shows on Saturday & Sunday, which will be held in the Spiegeltent, on the ground floor. Restrictions Strictly 18+. Ticket Price includes 6 wine tastings.
