★★★★★
“Chaotic brilliance… wildly original and relentlessly funny.” – TimeOut
THE CLASSICS, STRIPPED BARE.
Fresh from sell-out seasons in the West End and Edinburgh, international smash hit Garry Starr is back in blighty and he’s hell-bent on saving books from extinction by performing every Penguin Classic ever written – mostly naked (but with flippers).
Don’t miss this gloriously unhinged, award-winning comedy as Garry Starr takes over The Other Palace in a night of ‘euphoric chaos’ (★★★★★ Metro) and ‘wildly original and relentlessly funny’ (★★★★★ Time Out) theatrical mayhem.
This ‘ingenious comic’ (★★★★ Guardian) takes us on a breakneck 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 his ‘bonkers, ingenious…and hilarious’ (Daily Mail) nincompoopery.
