TWINK DEATH
FRINGE WORLD Festival 2026

TWINK DEATH

Benjamin Quirk has it all. Good hair. Hot boyfriend. Near non-existent waist. But death comes for us all, and for him it's coming sooner than he thought. At the ripe old age of 28, he's facing death one new chest hair at a time. Join Benjamin in this whirlwind, genre-bending new solo show as he feverishly chases immortality and begs for a redemption arc not seen since Christ himself.

"Sharp and self-deprecating humour that has the audience cackling" Magazine 6000, 2025. 

"The masterful work of someone very smart making jokes that are very stupid" Magazine 6000, 2024

"Messy, chaotic, effortlessly blending comedy with vulnerability" The List, 2025
