GULP!

An ordinary morning spirals into a full lifetime love story between Henry and his breakfast. He wants an entire life with his new wife, but she’ll be overripe by dinner. Whimsically imaginative, GULP! is a boy-meets-banana clown show that audiences are calling “wildly inventive”, "surrealist" and “unexpectedly heartfelt”. 

Winner of the 2026 Pittsburgh Fringe Funniest of the Fringe Award: Most Inventive, and the Spirit of the Fringe Award.

Incredible show, both hilarious & moving. The creative usage of simple props was really impressive, as was Prith's range from subtle, emotional moments to explosive energy & movement

I’ve seen this show multiple times and it is so captivating every time. Prith’s physicality is incredible and inspiring! Easily one of the most quotable shows I’ve seen. Prith was able to make me feel so much for a Banana. See this show!!

Gulp is a beautiful, ridiculous story about a man and a banana falling in love and spending their lives together. I laughed, I cried, and I somehow became emotionally invested in this piece of fruit? Anyways, if that’s not a testament to how amazing this show is I don’t know what is?! This show is genuinely moving. A show that will stick with you. Prith is a physical comedy goldmine! Everyone should see this show.


I’d give it 100 bananas if I could but they only gave me stars to work with.
