Award-winning Canadian comedy, CREEPY BOYS makes Toronto debut after UK Tour

TORONTO, December 16, 2024 – Fresh off an 8-week UK & European tour, queer Canadian comedy duo, the CREEPY BOYS makes their Toronto debut this holiday season after sold-out shows across Canada, the UK and Australia with 3 performances presented by Bad Dog Theatre as part of their Comedy on Queen season.

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 duo met while touring on the Canadian Fringe circuit and quickly fell in love. 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.

The CREEPY BOYS make their Toronto debut at The Assembly Theatre from December 26, 27 & 28th – perfect for anyone stuck in the city for the holidays.

About the Company, So.Glad Arts

So.Glad Arts an independent queer theatre company based in Canada. Founded in 2014, they strive to make work that empowers 2SLGBTQIA+ folks by telling stories often overlooked by mainstream theatre. They aim to disrupt the current processes of making theatre by creating inclusive artistic spaces for queer, transgender and other historically marginalised groups. They strive to produce new, thought provoking theatre that promotes gender equality beyond the binary, and centre queer stories, while coming from a loving, empowering and, often silly place, believing that laughter is the best Trojan horse to educate and create change.

Through a combination of international touring, and professional productions, So.Glad Arts has become a new and exciting voice of queer theatre in Canada. Their work has been seen on a variety of different stages around the world including: Edinburgh Fringe, Prague Quadrennial, STOFF Festival (Stockholm), Twin Cities Horror Festival (USA), Adelaide Fringe, Undercurrents Festival (Canada), Blunderland Variety (Australia) and Latitude Festival (UK).
