2026 Edinburgh Fringe favorite\u00a0Megasquirt:\u00a0Fully Loaded has set New York and London premieres. Benson Drive Productions<\/a>‘ George Strus<\/a> and Tony winner Sam Pinkleton<\/a> (Oh, Mary!<\/a>) are producing, with performances to run November 21-22 at The Brick in New York, December 2-23 in London. Performances December 2-12 will be at Soho Theatre Pub, and performances December 14-23 will be held at Soho Theatre Downstairs.<\/p>\n

The work comes from Second City mainstage alums Ashley Blair and Drew Reilly, with the performance described in press notes as an “unhinged hybrid concert\/sketch show of your wet dreams.” You can expect “a high-octane flood of gay brain rot set to a sickening beat” with songs including “Butt of the Bread,”\u00a0“Centaur Boyfriend,”\u00a0and “Gooning in the DJ Booth.” The play won The List Festival Award for Best LGBTQIA+\u00a0Show.<\/p>\n

\u201cStumbling into a midnight performance of Megasquirt: Fully Loaded in Edinburgh was not only a highlight of my Fringe, but perhaps a highlight of my life,” shares Pinkleton in a statement. “Megasquirt: Fully Loaded is both the smartest thing I\u2019ve ever seen and the stupidest thing I\u2019ve ever seen. It is an honor to ride their sick, sick coattails as they heal the planet with loud gay stuff.”<\/p>\n
