Looking for a fun romcom parody to watch this festive season? Following a riotous run at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe, Awkward Prods have announced that The Fit Prince (Who Gets Switched On in the Square in the Frosty Castle the Night Before (Insert Public Holiday Here)) will be heading to London’s King’s Head Theatre!
From the makers of Gwyneth Goes Skiing, Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story and How to Live a Jellicle Life, The Fit Prince…. is a hilarious take on all your favourite Hallmark and holiday movie tropes, delivered in Awkward Prods’ signature queer, interactive, comedic and heartfelt way.
The Fit Prince (Who Gets Switched On in the Square in the Frosty Castle the Night Before (Insert Public Holiday Here)) Synopsis
Panic! In Swedonia. The King is dead, and the Prince in line to the throne is unmarried – if he doesn’t find someone soon, he must forfeit the crown!
Meanwhile, in New York City, baker Aaron Butcher is butchering his career as a family baker. His puppet colleague, the ever-optimistic Jenny Puppetson, secretly enters him for a mysterious royal commission in the faraway land of Swedonia: Aaron has been chosen to bake the wedding cake for the Prince himself. Extremely reluctantly, and mostly to spite his ex, Aaron accepts. Maybe a commission in a suspiciously familiar, completely fictional country will fix his problems…
Audiences are invited to Swedonia – the perfect setting for the ultimate queer parody of all those Netflix and Hallmark romcoms you love to cringe at; the chaotic queer cousin to them all.
Written by and starring Linus Karp and Joseph Martin, The Fit Prince… features original music by Golden Globe–nominated songwriter and producer Leland (Troye Sivan, Charli xcx, RuPaul’s Drag Race) and multiple digital cameos including Tove Lo, Sebastian Croft, Malte Gårdinger, Joshua Whitehouse, Misia Butler, Jeremy McClain, Kate Butch, Geri Allen and more.
Earlier this year, Linus and Joseph made history during their Edinburgh Fringe run. The pair legally tied the knot on stage in a packed-out 750-seat Pleasance Grand in front of friends, loved ones and a ticketed audience. Believed to be the first legal wedding ever to take place at the Fringe – and the first LGBTQ+ wedding in the festival’s official programme – the one-off ceremony celebrated their 11 years together with a joyful mix of festival sparkle and real-life romance.
The Fit Prince (Who Gets Switched On in the Square in the Frosty Castle the Night Before (Insert Public Holiday Here)) plays at King’s Head Theatre, London between 2 December 2025 – 3 January 2026. Tickets are available now.
