Balatro ‘s Joker stuns in upcoming 2026 calendar

Ben Starr has never done voice acting for Balatro. The incredibly popular card game actually has no voice-acting. But when it needed someone to dress up as a clown or prankster and take home some prizes for Balatro, Starr volunteered as a tribute.

He has since appeared as a live-action Balatro Joker and now has his own calendar dedicated to his incredible cosplay. As you can see on Fangamer’s site, the 2026 Balatro calendar features 13 images of Starr dressed as various Jokers from the game.

There is a stand-up comic Joker for May, a vampire for October and a Santa Joker hugging a Christmas tree for December. The calendar costs 20 euros and also comes with a shortened calendar for 2027 on the last spread. All profits from the calendars go to Extra Life and Special Effect, so if you pick one up, know that your money isn’t just going to LocalTunk’s already big pockets.
