After critically acclaimed runs in Edinburgh and London, the smash hit from the creators of ‘Gwyneth Goes Skiing’ and ‘Diana’ is coming to Newcastle Upon Tyne and Manchester.

Following riotous 2025 runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and in London, with over 21 five-star reviews and counting, Awkward Prods are delighted to announce that their romcom parody The Fit Prince (who gets switched on the square in the frosty castle the night before (insert public holiday here)) will be coming to Ancoats from 21st – 26th April 2026.

From the makers of Gwyneth Goes Skiing, Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story and how to live a jellicle lifeThe Fit Prince (who gets switched on the square in the frosty castle the night before (insert public holiday here)) Flicks through the Net of traditional holiday movies, bringing all their Hallmarks together in the signature Awkward Prods way – queer, interactive, comedic and heartfelt.

On bringing the show to Manchester, Linus Karp says:
Nowhere welcomes our shows like Manchester. The queerness, comedy and irreverence that we have in our shows feel like attributes woven into the very fabric of Mancunians. There is a reason Manchester is the city we’ve toured the most to – by now it feels like a second home.

About The Show

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!
