Prepare to be transported back to ye olde times with A Bard’s Tale—the improvised Shakespearean adventure where wit meets whimsy!
In this delightful romp through Elizabethan intrigue, our cast of improvisers brings to life a brand-new tale inspired by the Bard himself. With flowery language, outrageous characters, and plot twists that would make even Shakespeare do a double-take, no two performances are the same. Whether it's mistaken identities, star-crossed lovers, or some good old-fashioned swordplay, you’re in for a night of clever wordplay and hilarious mischief.
Get ready to laugh, gasp, and maybe even shout “Huzzah!” as A Bard’s Tale proves that all the world’s a stage—and it’s full of surprises.
A Bard’s Tale has been performed at the Pop-up Globe and the Hawaiian Improv Festival and of course – it’s different every night!
“An impressive feat in improvised performance. Well worth a watch!” Theatreview

“Spontaneous laughter that is pure and it’s bloody funny. This show is as good as any improv you’ll see in the modern world.” The Speakeasy
Our fully licensed bar opens one hour before the show begins so come and have a drink before the show.
No audience member is brought up on stage, so you can relax and enjoy the show from the comfort of your seat.
