☂️NEW SHOW☂️ @awkwardprods @ericjkuhn @side.hustle.productions and @daddysmoneyprod present Linus Karp Was Hit With An Umbrella Debuting at #Edfringe 5-30 Aug @underbellyedinburgh London WIPs 23-25 July @parktheatrelondon Just before Fringe 2024, Linus Karp (Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story, Gwyneth Goes Skiing, The Fit Prince) was the victim of a homophobic attack. The case never went to trial... Until now. Linus Karp was hit with an umbrella. The attacker shouted that he would’ve killed him. The show retells the events and the aftermath - the police investigation, the public response, performing at Edinburgh Fringe days after, and the heroic acts of Joseph Martin. It then takes on the trial that never came to be... Dw, it’s also funny. A new @awkwardprods show written and performed by @linuskarp , with dramaturgy from Olivier Award nominee @yeshaleymcgee (Age is a Feeling) and creative support from @suddenlyjoseph Previous work: Sold Out Run Edinburgh Fringe 2023 & 2024 New York Times critics pick 2024 and 2025 Vogue Magazine Standout Fringe Acts 2025 “Twink” Deborah Frances-White ★★★★★ “serving c***” Attitude ★★★★★ “Perfectly imagined and brought to life on stage” The National ★★★★★ “As poised and polished as it is anarchic and outrageous.” London Theatre 1 ★★★★★ “A whole new level of genius” All That Dazzles ★★★★★ “A masterclass” The Skinny ★★★★★ “One of the freshest, most original shows you’ll see” Broadway World ★★★★ “Gloriously ridiculous” The Stage ★★★★ “Preeningly perfect” The Scotsman “Repellent trash” The Daily Mail It would be a hate crime to miss it. 🎟in bio Photo by @isntdaveb Graphic design @jedlybedly

👑NEW SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT👑 @awkwardprods and @kingsheadtheatre present: The Fit Prince (who gets switched on in the square in the frosty castle the night before (insert public holiday here)) #edfringe @thepleasance 30 July-25 Aug London @kingsheadtheatre 2 Dec-3 Jan Panic! In Swedonia. The King is dead and the prince next in line to the throne is unmarried – if he doesn’t find someone soon he must forfeit the crown! In New York City, baker Aaron Butcher is butchering his career as a family baker. Maybe a commission in the non-location-specific country of Swedonia will fix his problems… Following the sold-out, award-winning shows Gwyneth Goes Skiing and Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story, Awkward Productions are back with a brand new show that Flicks through the Net of traditional holiday movies, bringing all their Hallmarks together in the signature awkwardprods way - queer, chaotic, comedic and heartfelt. Written by and starring @linuskarp and @suddenlyjoseph , with original music by @leland and multiple surprise cameos, this highly anticipated show is as much a love letter to Karp’s native Sweden as it is a subversion of heteronormative romcoms. Featuring an all-star digital cast of @tovelo @sebastiancroft @joshuawhitehouse @jeremy_mcclain @malte.gardinger @thekatebutch @ysheeblack @geriallenactor @juliabender @katemarlais @maxlindsay85 @instasamcarlyle 🔥 Grab your bags, you’re going to Swedonia.
