REVIEW: Theodore Is A Star

Written and performed by Peter Brennan,THEODORE IS A STAR is an engaging show as part of this year’s Camden Fringe.

The story follows Theodore, a man who has poured the last decade of his life into becoming the star he genuinely believes he is destined to be. But as a series of harsh reality checks come crashing in, he is forced to confront whether he actually has what it takes.

Brennan’s script is remarkably funny, blending solid jokes with sharp irony while fearlessly tackling heavy subjects like religion, childhood trauma, and sex.
He handles these topics with a light touch, using clever pop culture references to show just how much celebrity and media shape our daily lives.

Putting yourself out there in front of an audience during any Fringe festival can be intimidating, but Peter’s energy remains on point throughout the entire performance.

The production steps up even further when a co-star, Joe Lindley, enters the story. The transition feels entirely natural, and the instant chemistry between the two actors adds a vibrant new dynamic to the stage.

Powered by Brennan’s raw energy and expressive delivery, the narrative glides effortlessly from start to finish. Smart, lively, and grounded in real emotion, Theodore makes brilliant use of the Fringe stage.
