"I walked in to The Fit Prince having been told it wasn't a panto - and it absolutely isn't, in the best way - but left with the same warmth I'd only get for laughing nonstop for an hour. The show, from Awkward Productions' Linus Karp and Joseph Martin, is playing at the King's Head Theatre and follows their viral smash hit Gwyneth Goes Skiing. Having never seen an Awkward Productions show before, I had no idea what to expect. That somehow made the 70-minute performance even better."
"As someone who finds the thought of the spotlight terrifying (unless I'm a few wines deep), I was silently horrified when Martin approached with a character card and prop. Thankfully my partner volunteered, and would later make his stage debut as a horse, complete with latex mask. The show, which also features original music from producer Leland of Drag Race fame, is a bag of endless laughs."
"While I obviously saw it before Christmas, the clever full title - The Fit Prince (who gets switched on the square in the frosty castle the night before (insert public holiday here)) - means the duo aren't restricted to performing it in the festive months. It follows a Swedonian prince who must marry before Christmas (or other public holiday) - or else! That's where unlikely suitor Aaron Butcher the baker comes in, who travels across the globe, unaware of the journey he's actually about to take."
The Fit Prince is a 70-minute comedic theatre show at the King's Head Theatre featuring Linus Karp and Joseph Martin as a Swedionian prince and New York baker. The production uses well-timed video appearances from Sebastian Croft, Tove Lo, and Kate Butch alongside random audience members cast as characters. Audience participation includes onstage roles assigned before the show, leading to spontaneous, physical comedy moments. Original music by producer Leland supports the performance. The plot follows a prince who must marry before a public holiday and an unlikely baker suitor whose journey leads to genuine romantic connection. The tone balances warmth, silliness, and nonstop laughs.
