Your friendly, neighbourhood Shakespeare is ready to play for the next three weekends at the Florida Renaissance Festival for his first time ever! Join me four times daily (12, 1:30, 3, 4:30) on the oh-so-steampunky Cog & Corset Stage, which I’m sharing this weekend with the Crimson Pirates!

#ToBeOrNotToBe? #JustBE. Lord knows being a human is rough these days (‘tho I’d be hard-pressed to name a time when it wasn’t), so give yourself some grace.

Monster Gandalf! The Shakespeares are doing a “Lord of the Rings” watch this weekend for Valentine’s Day, but my question is: ARE THOSE REAL HUMAN TEETH?!?? #shakespeareapproves #renfest #lotr #monstergandalf #renfaire

I’m not usually one to call out others for being incorrect (I am ALL the time), but THIS one has to be addressed! Finch, your heart is in the right place but get the quote attribution right! 🤣❤️ Full disclosure: Shakespeare LOVETH the Finch App!

I brought my family to see Congress certify the vote for the 2020 presidential election. The first thing I saw was a bunch of MAGA thugs assaulting the Capitol, one of whom was wearing a stupid buffalo hat. So forgive me if I doubt that the guy who pardoned them is going to bring crime down.

Sometimes the show is weird. Sometimes it’s a cry for help 😂

Your Bard is moving up in the world! “Shakespeare Approves” comes up as the # 2, 4, & 5 search results in a Google search for “Renaissance Faire Shakespeare”! It may be an odd little niche of entertainment on the internet, but ‘tis MY niche! #huzzah
