Get tickets to The Fit Prince in London
From the creators of Fringe hit Gwyneth Goes Skiing comes joyous new queer romp The Fit Prince (who gets switched on the square in the frosty castle the night before (insert public holiday here)), playing at the King’s Head Theatre this Christmas.
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 comedy that flicks through the net of traditional holiday movies, bringing all their Hallmarks together in a typically Awkward Productions way – queer, chaotic, comedic and heartfelt.
Written by and starring Linus Karp and Joseph Martin, 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.
The Fit Prince is playing at the King’s Head Theatre in London from 2 December 2025 to 3 January 2026.
