Having already saved everything else, Garry Starr is back and this time he’s hell-bent on saving books from extinction by performing every Penguin Classic novel ever written. In an hour. Mostly naked (but with flippers).
Following sell-out seasons in 2018 & 2022, EdFringe’s favourite multi-award-winning idiot returns with another anarchic masterclass. Comic wunderkind Starr takes us on a literary adventure through the world’s most iconic works of fiction. From The Little Prince to Moby Dick and everything in between, nothing is safe from being lampooned with the utmost nincompoopery.
Directed by Cal McCrystal and Georgia Murphy
“This simple, stupid and totally idiotic show may be exactly the medicine we all need.” Beyond the Joke
“From clownish chaos to feats of comic genius” The Guardian
“His tremendous warmth and respect for his audience balance out a childlike urge to create absolute chaos” The Stage
“Unapologetically entertaining” The Standard
“Uproariously funny... a superb, accessible clown” The Scotsman
“An adrenaline rush of absolute irreverence” British Theatre Guide
“It’s playful, purposeful and very silly, both tightly planned yet allowed to freewheel – and with a clever wit concealed behind the stupidity” Chortle
"Starr’s rambunctious antics belie how intelligent and tightly structured this exhilarating hour of side-splittingly funny physical comedy is" ★★★★★ Sydney Morning Herald
