Everything without putting on pants.
Starr believes Penguins wrote Classic penguinsSo, of course, he dresses for the part, he only wears an Elizabethan Ruffle, top hat, jacket and flippers.
In the show, which won the top prize at this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Starr steps on the titles of classic, including Frankenstein, The wind in the willow trees and Gulliver’s travels.
