Literature! Literature! Literature! It might not rhyme with anything but it’s still very important. 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).

From The Little Prince to Moby Dick and everything in between, nothing is safe from being lampooned with the utmost nincompoopery.

Classic Penguins has toured internationally and sold out the season at 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Soho Theatre London and wa the top 10 best reviewed show for Edinburgh Fringe.
