Winner of Best Comedy, Adelaide Fringe 2022 Weekly Awards. An overzealous idiot attempts to perform all of Greek mythology in less than 60 minutes to save his Hellenic homeland from economic ruin. Never before has Medusa been looser, Achilles more sillies, or Uranus so heinous. Having single-handedly saved the performing arts in 2018 with his multi award-winning debut show, Garry Starr Performs Everything, comic wunderkind Garry Starr returns with another anarchic masterclass not to be mythed. 'Uproariously funny... a superb, accessible clown' (Scotsman). 'Exquisite clowning... effortlessly likeable... an hour you won't want to end' (List).

Ancient Greece. A time of division and strife. Only one person can harness the chaos to bring unity and joy to the world.
Garry Starr... The Myth... The Legend... returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with an hour of award-winning, unpredictable and exuberant physical comedy for anyone and everyone with a heart, soul, and funny bone. No prior knowledge of the classics required.
Greece Lightning sees the overzealous idiot attempt to perform all of Greek mythology in less than 60 minutes in order to save his Hellenic homeland from economic ruin.
Never before has Medusa been looser, Achilles more sillies or Uranus so heinous.
Having single-handedly saved the performing arts in 2018 with his multi-award-winning debut show, comic wunderkind Garry returns with another anarchic masterclass not to be mythed.
Damien Warren-Smith, the performer behind Garry Starr, has said: "Greece Lightning is Garry scaling his own comedic Mount Olympus and no one is being left behind. This is Garry at his most outgoing, his most engaging, his most ridiculous and I can't wait for UK audiences to join him on his Herculean quest to bring mirth where there was once only myth."
