This show was one of the most enjoyable and fun performances I've seen. I haven't laughed, cringed, been shocked, or stared in sheer amazement like that in a long time, especially all in the same night! Highly recommend for a date or couples night out. The crowd interaction, comedy, and talent were top notch! Another factor that really added to the experience was the smaller venue at the Woolworth Theatre. It allowed for a more personal and immersive experience that you don't get at larger venues. Please keep in mind that this show is 18+ for a reason. The comedy gets R rated quickly. 10/10 would go back and see this show again!
I wish there were more stars to give. Adult humor, INSANE talent and a seamless blend of comedy and skill. I've seen multiple shows in various cities and this one was by far my favorite. Walked away wowed and with a sore throat from laughing so hard. 10/10

Whether you’re visiting Nashville or you’re a local, I recommend you get tickets to Shiners.
The show is an immersive and interactive experience. Those who are obviously happy to participate are able to add to the show while the others (like my wife and I) are able to just watch everything unfold.
There are amazing acrobatics, but more than that, the show follows a clever format that flows into each segment. You can tell they’ve put some real thought into it.
I must be honest, I didn’t know it was an 18+ show when we initially got our tickets, but it was all good fun and nothing over the top.
You'll have a smile on your face all night—either from the amazing stunts or the comedy coming from the cast and audience.
I would gladly come see this show again and I’ve already recommended

Thank you for the review, Jonathan! We are so happy you enjoyed Shiners!
We needed a last-minute show because our Opry show was cancelled. This was so funny and entertaining, I am glad we stumbled across it. I would explain the show, but it is hard to explain properly. So, I will go with funny, well performed, highly entertaining and raunchy. Singing, jokes, dance, and acrobatics. Even our more subdued friends found it funny. No one was offended in our group. If you are easily offended this may not be the show for you. Don't sit right up front if you do not want to be part of the show. They are not the cruel kind of jokes, just funny. Go and have a great time. It sells out every night.

Thank you for this awesome review, Dustin! We'd love to welcome you back soon!
Took a friend to Shiners on a Saturday night and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The atmosphere is vibrant and energetic, and the show keeps you fully engaged the entire time—we were on the edge of our seats and laughing throughout the night.
The performers were fantastic and the overall production was top-notch. On top of that, the bar service was excellent and the staff kept everything running smoothly, which really added to the experience.
If you’re looking for a fun-filled evening with great entertainment, laughs, and a lively vibe, Shiners is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be coming back again soon.
Highly recommend checking this show and venue out! You won’t regret it!

Good show but it seemed to drag on with time-filler in the end.
The strength demonstration by the two guys was one of the best cirque style performances I have seen. The spinning rope and the aerial pole were very good too. The crowd interactions were funny but in the end it seemed like things were dragging on. The game show and the animal noises were time filler.
I absolutely loved this show. My best friend and I went this past weekend and it was hilarious and very entertaining. There was also an after party down stairs with a live band! Both of the ladies singing were amazing! Definitely recommend 10/10. Even though I've already saw it I'd probably go back one more time bc it was just that good!! The cast was hands down the most polite people ever to chat with as well! Just all round good fun!!
