Garry Starr: Classic Penguins
International sell-out, award-winning, cult-hit Garry Starr is back and he’s hell-bent on saving books from extinction by performing every Penguin Classic novel ever written, in the West-End. Mostly naked (but with flippers).
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.★★★★★ "Relentlessly funny" Timeout
