Garry Starr: Classic Penguins

Garry Starr: Classic Penguins

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2026

International sell-out cult-hit Garry Starr is back, and is hell-bent on saving books from extinction by performing every Penguin Classic novel ever written. Mostly naked (but with flippers). Don't miss this 'very funny man who is peculiarly averse to wearing trousers' (Scotsman) as he returns to Edinburgh with a night of 'euphoric chaos' (Metro). 'Ingenious comic' (Guardian) wunderkind Starr takes us on a literary adventure through the world's most iconic novels. 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)
