Sam Kruger

Sam Kruger (performer, sound designer, he/him) is a performer, playwright, sound designer, and recent immigrant to Canada. Since 2018 his works have toured to theatres and festivals around the world, including Canada (PuSh Festival, Summerworks), the UK (Soho Theatre, Summerhall), Portugal (Teatro do Barrio Alto), Denmark, Germany, and Australia. He is one half of theatre/performance/comedy duo Creepy Boys, whose show SLUGS was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2025. Kruger’s emphasis is in the creation of original theatre that draws on Lecoq-style physical theatre, Gaulier-esqe clown, performance art, and surrealism. Often exploring themes of isolation, alienation, and the performativity of everyday life, Kruger’s work is funny, physical, stupid, sincere, wiggly and proudly weird. He holds a BA from the University of Minnesota, and is a graduate of the École Philippe Gaulier, in Étampes, France.
