Description
Classification
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. In an hour. Mostly naked (but with flippers).
Comic 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 the utmost nincompoopery.
Following sell-out seasons in Edinburgh, London, Melbourne, Sydney, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, Garry Starr returns with another anarchic masterclass of epically stupid proportions!
Ingenious… a very funny man who is peculiarly averse to wearing trousers ★★★★★

… a masterclass in the serious nature of being extremely silly. It’s ingenious and celebratory
Beyond the Joke
Making you laugh so hard that you rip a hole in time and space ★★★★★
