Upstartcrowthecomedy – Shakespeare Meets TikTok a phrase that perfectly sums up Gemma Whelan’s latest surprise for fans of Upstart Crow. Known for her comedic role as Kate, the aspiring actress in the Shakespearean sitcom, Whelan took a playful detour from stage to screen or rather. From script to scroll with a TikTok dance video that’s now making rounds online.
Dressed in partial costume and set to trending audio. Whelan infused her signature wit and theatrical flair into a short performance that’s equal parts satire and celebration. The unexpected clip shows that even Shakespeare’s world isn’t safe from the ever-growing influence of TikTok and fans are loving it.

Shakespeare Meets TikTok again as Whelan’s video becomes a talking point not just for its humor. But for its ability to make Shakespeare feel current. In less than a minute, she blends physical comedy with social commentary poking fun at classical theatre while embracing modern creativity.
The response? Overwhelmingly positive. Upstart Crow viewers, theatre lovers, and casual TikTokers alike have praised the clip for its charm and originality. Many noted that it captures the spirit of the show itself: clever, self-aware, and delightfully absurd.
Shakespeare Meets TikTok a third time as Whelan joins a growing trend of actors using short-form content to reach broader audiences. In a world where attention spans are shrinking and content is consumed in seconds. Her dance proves that even the most traditional material can be repackaged with style.
While it may have started as a bit of fun. The clip opens the door for new ways to connect classical culture with today’s digital platforms. And if Shakespeare taught us anything, it’s that all the world’s a stage even the one in your phone.
