You're invited: twin orphans, The Creepy Boys, are throwing their 13th birthday party. It will have everything. Games. Gifts. Possibly Satan. Probably Cake. Combining 2000s sexy songs, satanic rituals, and Willam Dafoe, these horny little boys do whatever it takes to make their birthday dreams come true. This is one birthday party you'd be cursed to miss. 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. Through sexy dances, party games and reenacting their own birth, the Creepy Boys ramp up the chaos to the point of a blood sacrifice, all while interrogating the trappings of millennial nostalgia. From real-life-lovers-turned-identical-twins, Sam Kruger (Winner - Just for Laughs Comedy Award 2019) and S.E. Grummett (Winner - Best Theatre, Adelaide Fringe 2021) comes a bizarre comedy with just a splash of the occult.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
