Linus Karp and Joseph Martin are actors, writers, and theater makers. They created Awkward Productions to bring ridiculous genre-mixing comedy, niche pop culture references, audience participation, and queer joy to the stage. Their shows include Gwyneth Goes Skiing, Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story, The Fit Prince, and How to Live a Jellicle Life: Life Lessons from the 2019 Hit Musical 'Cats.' These shows have all been performed for sold-out audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe. As they say, "An Awkward Productions show isn’t performed for you—it’s performed with you, making each show unique."

In January 2026, Gwyneth Goes Skiing and Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story will be performed in select U.S. cities. Diana: The Untold and Untrue Story made its New York debut at SoHo Playhouse. Gwyneth Goes Skiing will be presented in Aspen for Gay Ski Week from January 14 to 17 at the Wheeler Opera House. Afterward, the show will be performed at the Elysian Theater in Los Angeles from January 21 to 24, followed by Diana from January 25 to 28.
