Garry Starr: Classic Penguins
James
@james
The initial reveal was shocking and hilarious in equal measure and set the tone perfectly. From there, the whole thing just kept escalating into increasingly bizarre, disgusting and ridiculous territory. Garry Starr is an incredible physical performer, and the premise gives him the perfect excuse to string together a series of completely ludicrous ideas. The giant bear costume was a particular highlight, while the grapes section was memorable for very different reasons. By the time he was crowd-surfing at the end, it felt like the only possible conclusion. Completely ridiculous and very, very funny. And I’m glad he eventually found the Little Prince.
