About Benjamin Quirk
Benjamin Quirk: Twink Death is a solo theatre and comedy show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in which Benjamin Quirk — at the age of 28 — confronts what he frames as a form of early death: the end of youth, measured one new chest hair at a time. With good hair, a hot boyfriend and a near non-existent waist, he chases immortality and begs for a redemption arc in this whirlwind, genre-bending hour. The 60-minute show plays at the Blether venue and is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A genre-bending solo show that blends comedy with genuine vulnerability — messy and chaotic in the best sense. Quirk takes a ridiculous premise and wrings something unexpectedly moving from it.
