Fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe, queer Canadian duo, the CREEPY BOYS return to Saskatoon for two nights only after selling out shows and winning awards on their UK tour.
Created and performed by real-life lovers turned identical twins, S.E. Grummett (they/them) and Sam Kruger (he/him), CREEPY BOYS invites you, the audience, to attend the thirteenth birthday party of two very strange twin boys. The twins recruit the audience to help them set up their party, with all the deference and direct eye contact you’d expect from attending a twin-teen birthday blast, before driving the show off a horror-comedy cliff - think the twins from The Shining meets My Super Sweet 16. This is one birthday party you’d be cursed to miss! The largest arts festival in the world, the Edinburgh Fringe presented over 3,000 unique shows and events throughout the month of August. “Performing in Edinburgh is a huge risk and it takes a lot to stand out amongst so many other shows. I think this is a huge win for Saskatchewan artists proving that we can hold our own on an international stage.” (S.E. Grummett)
The duo met while touring on the Canadian Fringe circuit and quickly fell in love. A digital version was first created while the pair were stuck in Australia for a year during the initial COVID wave in March 2020. Since then, the show has been redeveloped with the help of comedy director, Deanna Fleysher (of award-winning show Butt Kapinski). CREEPY BOYS premiered at the FringeWorld Festival (in Perth) before touring across Australia, the UK and finally to the Edinburgh Fringe, where it took home the Unforgettable Show Award presented by Summerhall. Grummett and Kruger return home to Saskatoon to present the Canadian premiere of this award-winning work to their community for two nights only - January 26th & 27th as part of Winterruption 2024. Come and play with us…
