Drunk Dracula Chicago Tickets: Comedy Theatre with Cocktails
This isn't a haunted house or a ghost tour. It's live theater where the actor really drinks. One of our classically trained performers takes five real shots of whiskey before curtain, so no two nights are ever the same. The room is small, the cast plays right in front of you, and you can be as involved as you like: watch from the balcony, sit stage-side, or book the Throne and order the actor to drink again.
You can order cocktails directly to your seat. The Drunk Shakespeare Society has spent more than 12 years and 7,500+ performances perfecting the art of drunk storytelling. Dracula is only here for the fall, so grab seats before the Count leaves town.
