A Drunk Christmas Carol

Back by popular demand! Your favorite tale of Christmas redemption told like never before. Part scripted, part improvised, and all hilarious, A Drunk Christmas Carol will have you in holiday stitches, both literally and ugly sweater figuratively!

One professional (and very consenting) actor downs five shots of whiskey, then attempts to perform the role of Scrooge in Dickens’ most famous Christmas story. A troupe of professional improvisers try to keep the classic story on the rails while being completely sidetracked by wacky audience suggestions and our famous “Wheel of Fate” that could change the setting of the tale at any time. Add to that an ugly sweater contest, holiday themed cocktails, gift giveaways, and a 50-50 raffle, you’d be a grinch not to attend this party! 

The festivities begin at 6:30pm on Friday & Saturday nights at our new holiday home at the Brunish Theatre. Show starts at 7:30pm.

MORE INFO: One highly-trained-at-drinking improvisational actor will over-confidently attempt to perform the best Scrooge that he can while other actors torment him furiously, with the audience’s help, of course. A King and Queen have the power to make Scrooge take another shot, spin the Wheel of Accents, or suggest the scene change entirely, for example, changing Scrooge and Marley’s Storefront to a brothel. Feel free to sip a holiday-inspired cocktail or mocktail, buy a raffle ticket for our 50-50 fundraiser, or win one of many gift cards to be given away during our ugly sweater contest. 

There are only TWO royal red tickets to this event. Those two royal audience members play our All-Knowing "Christmas Spirits" who can stop the show at any time and make the actors do as they bid, including a spin on the Wheel of Fate! The Wheel of Fate could land on anything from forcing the actors to speak with a Russian accent to acting as if they are attending Hogwarts School of Wizardry. Horrible accents and terrible over-acting is guaranteed.

OH what fun it is to ride in a one drunk Christmas Carol!

HEALTH WARNING: We do not condone excessive drinking. Our drinking actor is carefully monitored at all times. Drinking in moderation can be fun. Drinking to excess can ruin your life. We promote healthy drinking.
