DRUNK CLASSICS - THE GRINCH

**Drunk Queer Classics presents: The Grinch** Date, 19:00 – 23:00 Social Refuge, 27 Great Ancoats St, Ancoats, Manchester M4 5AJ, UK **About the event** All-queer actors parodying beloved classic the Grinch under the influence! Think Grinch, the interactive drinking game. A half-drunk all queer musical comedy with live songs based on your suggestions. The classic Christmas movie is about to get messy. You suggest three drinking rules for the cast to follow and watch chaos ensue. Get ready to be charmed by a big green queer icon for a night of all-singing, all-dancing, all-drinking nonsense. “Very funny, good audience inclusion, very gay \*\*\* ” “Silly improv nature, excellent skilled performers and such a fun time! \*\*\* ” “absolute unhinged chaos \*\*\* ” 📅 5th Dec 2026 🚪 Doors: 7:00pm ⏰ Start: 8:00pm Drunk Queer Classics are BACK! Our cast of professional improvisors takes your favourite classic novel or film and performs it with a drunken twist. Half of the cast will be drinking alcohol, and the other half will be the “designated drivers” tasked with pulling the whole thing together! Classics shows are entirely improvised based on your suggestions. Previous shows have included “Pride and Prejudice and Pirates” and “Romeo and Juliet and Hot Dogs”, with drinking rules to match. At the start of the comedy night, a member of the audience will be given a bell. They have the power. The cast must drink any time they ring it, and will keep doing so until they've reached the end of the performance. Our shows are accompanied by a live musician, with improvised songs throughout the night. For those in the audience who are drinkers, you're welcome to drink along with the cast to get even more into the spirit of things. Drunk Classics was founded in Madrid, and is popular both there and in Berlin. They've been performing to sell-out crowds in Manchester for the last four years. You don't need to have read or seen the classic to enjoy Drunk Classics performances. The story and performance is always entertaining in its own right. And who knows, maybe it will finally inspire you to read that dusty old novel on your bookshelf! Tickets £15.00 https://transdimension.uk/events/516963
