Winner of the Most Outstanding Show, Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2025, and fresh from a sell out season at London's West End, Garry Starr returns with a literary adventure like no other through the world's most iconic works of fiction.
In just one hour, the comic wunderkind, hell-bent on saving books from extinction, must perform 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.
★★★★★ 'One of the fringe shows of the decade' - The Stage UK
★★★★★ 'Wildly original and relentlessly funny' - Time Out
★★★★★ 'Ingenious, fast-moving and very funny' - The Scotsman
