One professional actor takes 5 shots of rum and then attempts to perform a major role in Treasure Island.
Drunk Pirates sends a crew of fearless actors on a chaotic quest for buried treasure, where shifting alliances, sword fights, and suspiciously slurred monologues threaten to derail the entire adventure. Hilarity and mayhem ensue in the heart of downtown Houston as the sober cast fights to keep the story afloat.
Every show is different depending on who is drinking…and what they’re drinking.

We surprised my 75 year old MIL for her birthday and purchased the Royalty seats. She had no idea what we were doing until we walked in the door and were handed our pirate hats. You will be greeted with a delicious shot when you walk thru the curtains. The show is funny and interactive and the cast was OUTSTANDING with their acting skills but also making my MIL feel like royalty and involving her in decisions. If you are on the fence about booking, I hope this review helps you make the decision to purchase. For our family, it was worth every penny and my MIL talked about it all the way home and had a smile that we have not seen in awhile. A perfect 1.5 hour of laughter, champagne and celebration, we cannot recommend it enough+4![]()

Same crew, new voyage. Drunk Pirates comes from The Drunk Shakespeare Society, the company that’s been getting one actor gloriously drunk and turning the classics into chaos for over a decade. This time we’ve traded iambic pentameter for Treasure Island, swords, and the high seas. So if you loved Drunk Shakespeare, you already know the drill: real actors, real rum, and no two nights the same. If you’ve never been, this is a very fun place to start.
Drunk Pirates is now playing at The Emerald Theatre (412 Travis St, Houston, TX 77002), located in the heart of the Theater District, downtown Houston.
The show runs Wednesday through Sunday with performances at various times, a quick walk from Jones Hall for the Performing Arts and the Preston Light Rail Station.
The show runs about 90 minutes, without an intermission. Craft cocktails are available for purchase, and can be delivered directly to your seat!
Yes. One Market Square garage is located directly above the Theatre (costs vary based on local events). Additionally, there are numerous paid lots, and street parking options available nearby.
Looking for things to do in Houston that aren’t another dinner reservation? Trade the Houston heat for the high seas in an air-conditioned speakeasy where the rum is real and the chaos is guaranteed. It’s date-night-friendly, group-friendly, and unlike anything else downtown. It’s a 21+ night out, so bring your ID and your sea legs.
