S.E. Grummett

S.E. Grummett (outside eye, they/them) is a queer, transgender theatre artist, clown and puppeteer originally from Treaty 6 Territory. Over the past decade, Grumms has created a body of original queer work and toured it around the world including presentations at PuSh, Summerworks, Rhubarb Festival, Soho Theatre (UK), Teatro do Bairro Alto (Portugal), H2O (Copenhagen), Prague Quadrennial (Czechia) and Midsumma (Melbourne). They are one half of performance art/comedy duo “Creepy Boys”, recently nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award, (often called the “Oscars of Comedy” whose past nominees include Bo Burnham, Flight of the Concords and Mae Martin). Their shows, “Something in the Water”, “Homebuddies” and “SLUGS” combine object theatre with queer clown into work that is “brilliantly stupid and beautifully stupid” (The Guardian).

Grumms is the recipient of the 2022 RBC Outstanding Award in recognition for their contribution to the queer and trans community across Saskatchewan, and recently won the inaugural 2SLGBTQIA+ Multidisciplinary Artist Award presented by the Sask Foundation for the Arts.
