About ADGNYC
A Drinking Game NYC (est. 2014) is a comedy troupe that lovingly reenacts iconic films as live theatrical productions with a twist: the performances are also drinking games! Every time a buzz word is spoken, the narrator dings a bell and everyone drinks their beverage of choice, actors and audience alike.
The performers juggle scripts, homemade props and costumes, beers, and mishaps with as much gusto as they can throughout the night, a nostalgia lovefest and laughfest for all movie-lovers to enjoy.
history
ADGNYC made its debut with “The Princess Bride” on January 27, 2014, playing to a small but enthusiastic crowd of friends at Under St. Marks Theater. Since then, the company has produced over 150 shows, finding homes in larger and larger venues–from Union Hall to Littlefield, hopping across the pond for a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fridge Festival in 2017, and finally finding its current home at The Bell House in January of 2018. There, ADGNYC has enjoyed many sold out shows and a raucous, loyal fanbase that followed them online for their virtual presentations during the pandemic and then back again for live performances in 2021.
