GARRY STARR: CLASSIC PENGUINS
2026.02.01 ~ 2026.02.22
Garrick Theatre
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. Mostly naked (but with flippers). This February, don’t miss this ‘very funny man who is peculiarly averse to wearing trousers’ (★★★★★ Scotsman) as he takes over the West-End’s Garrick Theatre in a night of ‘euphoric chaos’ (★★★★★ Metro). ‘Ingenious comic’ (★★★★ Guardian) 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 his ‘bonkers, ingenious…and hilarious’ (Daily Mail) nincompoopery. Staged at the Garrick Theatre in the heart of London’s West End, Garry Starr: Classic Penguins is a one-man comedy show reimagining well-known literature and is performed naked. It’s a perfect night out if you are 18+, a classic fiction fan and are looking for live comedy in London.
