Get your tickets now and prepare to laugh until your sides hurt.
From award-winning comedy to absurd genius, don’t miss Garry Star: Classic Penguins in Sydney
Fresh off of a sell-out tour of Australia and the UK, including packed houses at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and a sweep of major awards, Garry Starr brings his latest masterpiece to Sydney. In Classic Penguins, Garry Star doesn’t just parody the classics, he steamrolls them with reckless abandon. From Nineteen Eighty-Four to Wuthering Heights, nothing is too sacred to be made fun of. Every novel, trope and literary hero is fair game. It’s not just comedy, it’s a love letter to storytelling, written in sheer comedic chaos.
What makes Garry Starr: Classic Penguins so unforgettable is Starr himself. A master of physical theatre and character works, he shapeshifts through rolls faster than you can say “Gatsby”, wielding physical gags, razer-sharp wit, and just enough literary accuracy to fool even an English major. If you like your humour intelligent yet cheeky, with a touch of unhinged, then this is your kind of night.
Book your seat and witness the funniest crash course in literature you’ll ever attend
Critics are calling it one of the boldest comedy acts to come out of the Fringe circuit in years. With multiple award nominations including the Comedians’ Choice Awards, it’s safe to say that Garry Starr is no longer comedy’s best-kept secret, he’s a must see! Get your tickets now to Garry Starr: Classic Penguins and get ready to witness literature as you’ve never seen it before, exposed, absurd, and utterly hilarious.
