From the press release:
The classics, stripped bare. Winner of Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s top award and ‘Best Comedy’ at Adelaide Fringe and World Fridge, Garry Starr now heads to New York hell-bent on saving books from extinction by performing every Penguin Classic novel ever written in under an hour, (mostly) naked. An “ingenious comic” (Guardian), Starr takes the audience on a literary adventure through the world’s most iconic works of fiction. From “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” to “Moby Dick” and everything in between, nothing is safe from being lampooned in this “bonkers, ingenious and hilarious” show (Daily Mail). In its five-star review, Time Out calls Garry Starr: Classic Penguins, “wildly original and relentlessly funny.”
Show Notes: The production includes full nudity, strobe lighting, and haze. Audience participation will be invited at the discretion of the performer. No photography or filming.
Saw this evening. GO! A clever show, sometimes gross, dick, and surprises! All seats are good so no need to splurge on the more expensive ones. If you sit in the front rows you may be pulled on stage!
I have read that for the section on The Jungle book an Audience member gets naked as well – did this happen at the show?
Yes! Jesus Christ! Didn’t want to spoil any surprises but I lucked out. The audience volunteer looked like an Abercrombie and Fitch model. 🔥 🔥 🔥 With a big dick. I later saw him in the lobby wearing Birkenstocks and lusted after his worship worthy feet. At 73 I was ashamed of the wet spot on my khakis!
Where is the best place to sit for this?
