Description

The polar ice caps are melting! Soon penguins will have nowhere to live. Having already saved pretty much everything else, Garry Starr is now taking it upon himself to single-handedly save our flightless, feathered friends from extinction by performing every Penguin Classic novel ever written. In an hour. Mostly naked (but with flippers). Winner: Pick of the Fringe – Adelaide Fringe 2022. Winner: Best Physical Theatre and Circus – Sydney Fringe 2022. Winner: Best Comedy – Manchester Fringe 2022. 'A drama masterclass, leading us from clownish chaos to feats of comic genius' **** (Guardian).
