SLUGS - 2026 PuSH Festival
SLUGS
Creepy Boys / So.Glad Arts (Canada)
Anarchic // Absurdist // Cathartic
It’s about nothing. We promise.
From the award-winning performance/comedy duo Creepy Boys (S.E. Grummett & Sam Kruger), this anarchic fever dream is a techno-punk concert, a play, a clown show, and a basement puppet nightmare all rolled into one. In a neon haze of chaos and charm, two performers attempt to make a show about nothing—until meaning starts leaking in through the cracks.
SLUGS spirals from DIY absurdity into something strangely profound, fusing electronic comedy songs, trash puppetry and live camera magic into a meltdown of meaning. It’s “brilliantly smart and beautifully stupid” (The Guardian), and it might be the most fun you’ll have while the planet burns.
For tonight, at least, we are free.

TICKETS / INFO
For the queer and 2SLGBTQiA+ communities, PuSh remains a space where bodies, identities, and histories can show up without translation. This year’s programming reaches across continents and lineages, pulling in stories shaped by Black femininity, muxheidad, drag, ecofeminism, Andean memory, and a punk-spirited desire to laugh through the chaos. Each piece invites audiences to sit with complexity, question what performance can hold, and enjoy the surprise of artists who follow their own logic.
