“
from The Ultimate Christmas Show (abridged):
It came to me on a midnight clear
There’s so much confusion these days
To make things easy this time of year
Just learn to say one simple phrase…
Happy Merry Chrismakwanukkahhanzukkah
That’s the only thing you’ll ever have to say:
“Happy Merry Chrismakwanukkahhanzukkah”
Wishes everyone a jolly holiday!
Happy Merry Chrismakwanukkahhanzukkah
If you want to spread some universal cheer, say,
“Happy Merry Chrismakwanukkahhanzukkah!”
You know you wannukkah
Because it’s funukkah
Everyonukkah
This year!

You guys should come to Dallas. I’ve always loved Shakespeare and all his books. I’ve seen your videos and yall are hilarious. I really want to see you in person. Its my dream.
Jen
We saw The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) in Los Angeles at the Coronet Theatre in May 1989 and LOVED IT. I signed up on your email list so we’ll know when you’ll be in Los Angeles. Do you have plans to do the Shakespeare show in southern California anytime soon? Thank you.
Amy
Connecticut? Please? I’d LOVE to see you here in CT!
lisa
You just gotta come to Portland, MAINE! Or even Sanford High School? Please! My daughter watched you do Shakespear in high school English class and made me watch it on you-tube. Split- a- gut- laughter material! Mainers appreciate good humor!
Savannah
I would enthusiastically brave the terrible traffic if you guys played West Palm Beach, Miami, or Orlando.
austin
We’d LOVE to come to Portland! Whichever venue you think would be best for us, give them a call and tell them to book us. Venues love to bring in acts if they think they’ll bring in an audience. Sorry we’ll miss you in the UK!
Diana
Please come to Portland, Oregon!!! My husband and I are traveling to London on May 12, 2012 and I am so depressed that you won’t be there! I have done nothing but talk about you since we booked this trip. I saw you the last time I was in England in 2000 and I never remember laughing so hard. Thank you for one of my favorite memories from that trip!
Kitty
I love your work! When I was in seventh grade, I lived in NJ and my English teacher ran the middle school’s ShakesPEER Society & she showed us your “Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abriged”. I only remembered how how funny it was. Now my family & I live in San Diego and I am a freshman in highschool, the other day my theater teacher showed us the same recorded performance that I watched seventh grade. You guys blew me away …. not only your humor, but your intelligence behind Williams’s works! That English teacher & I have been pen pals ever since I moved. We are huge fans of yours! Recently I have been creating and founding the first Shakespeer Society for my school, and I fully intend on showing them your outstanding work! You bring to life, the fun in his playwriting. Thank you for being inspirational!
Callie
I’d love to see y’all come out to CSU, Chico (California)! We have a lot of events on campus & your act definitely seems like something my school would book. 🙂
carol fisher
When will you be in England again with “Complete Works of William Shakespeare – Abridged” I desperatly need to educate the grandchildren with this show. I have seen it many times and throughly enjoy it.
austin
Thank you, Betty (or Rue, or Bea, or Estelle, whichever Golden Girl you were)! You guys were a great audience and we had a blast as well.
Marilyn
I was one of “The Golden Girls” in your audience tonight in New Bremen. You were all so funny and my friend and I laughed a LOT! We were unsure what to expect from the description, but really enjoyed the humor. Thanks for a great evening.
austin
We were there in January 2011. Tell UT to have us back! http://www.reducedshakespeare.com/2011/01/episode-217-keeping-austin-weird/
Aaron
How about Austin, Tx? Would love for you guys to come down here!

I wanted to know if you had any plans to perform in San Diego, CA in the near future.

austin
Possibly BC. Hopefully know more complete (unabridged) details later.
Colin
Where are you (possibly) going?
austin
We do, but there’ve been very few Canadian dates in recent years. We have one penciled in for the fall, and will post details when (if) it becomes official. We’d love to come back!
Colin
Do you peform in Canada (more detail Vancover Island)? Here it says North America but under tours it says U.S…
austin
Glad you liked the show! Although…you are aware it wasn’t us performing, right?
Jerry Reyes
Saw the “Complete Works of William Shakespeare – Abridged” last night in Escondido, California. Brilliantly done! I was in the audience at the Paramount Ranch all those years ago for the world premier staging and the show has lost none of its edge. Thanks for keeping the laughs coming!
ron diberto
You folks need to do The Bible show here in Lowell, ma. again. It was by far the best one ever. either that or bring Shakespear to Lowell. we have never seen it it here from what i remember.
