  • Totally Awesome!

    I dare anyone who rips on these guys to have half the courage they do and try something like this just once! Performing is hard! Performing Shakespeare is even harder, and performing Shakespeare for such a tough crowd is even harder still!

  • AWWWWKWAAARD

  • Hi everyone. Paul here from Popeye & Cloudy. That's me playing Romeo. Let me preface this footage with some context. At the time this was shot, Fred and I were relatively new to performing on the subway, and were very knew to this exact scene. With time and thousands of scenes of experience, our act has come a long way since then. If you want to see something a bit newer and with more scenes, check out the video linked on our website.

  • Lol where I live these guys would be dead

  • Who knew before 0:11 that this was the fight between Romeo and Tybalt in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet?

  • lmao..even thought i don't watch plays or read Shakespeare...if i saw this on my daily commute to work...i would definitely be entertained n start off the day of work happy lol

  • As a fan of Shakespeare, I think this owns. Shakespeare was never about dressing up in frilly costumes and being on a stage. Shakespeare was about actual human contact, human experience. Nowadays, people don't wear frilly costumes - they wear jeans and ride subways. I'm no expert, but I think this is what he'd want to happen.
