GARRY STARR: CLASSIC PENGUINS Will Return to Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026
The multi-award-winning cult hit will play Pleasance Courtyard with five-star reviews from The Guardian and The Stage
Fresh from a West End run at the Arts Theatre and the Garrick Theatre and following sell-out seasons in 2018, 2022, 2024 and 2025, Garry Starr will return to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with his acclaimed anarchic masterclass. Garry Starr: Classic Penguins returns for its biggest and most brilliantly chaotic shows to date at The Grand at Pleasance Courtyard from 5 August to 30 August.
Produced by the Olivier Award-winning Francesca Moody Productions (Fleabag, Baby Reindeer and Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder!) and Fiery Entertainment in association with Milke, EdFringe'sfavourite idiot presents his multi-award-winning, smash hit show in its biggest, best-est and even more naked-est form ever, taking us on a literary adventure through the world's most iconic works of fiction.
2026 is the UK National Year of Reading and from The Little Prince to Moby Dick and everything in between, Garry is hell-bent on saving books from extinction by performing every Penguin Classic novel ever written. Mostly naked (but with flippers). Nothing is safe from being lampooned with the utmost nincompoopery!
Garry Starr: Classic Penguins is created by Damien Warren-Smith and produced by Francesca Moody Productions and Fiery Entertainment in association with Milke.
