Scary Strangers is the legendary lovechild of Australian comedy thirst traps Ru Halwala and Tom Stevenson! We have produced and performed in star-studded, sell-out shows all over Australia, including The STEAM Room Science Comedy Experience ft. Doctor Karl, Big Cat Club Improv Comedy Extravaganza, and Are You Havin’ A Laugh?! Our shows are know for their exceptional production values, immaculate vibes, and diverse casts. Ru and Tom are also skilled educators. In 2024 Scary Strangers launched a program in partnership with the NSW Department of Justice delivering improv workshops to children under supervision within the juvenile justice system. The program has achieved incredible short-term results with plans to expand in 2025. Every Scary Strangers performance is a comedic cocktail of highbrow wit and lowbrow filth, you never know what you’re going to get, but trust that it’ll get you where you need to go. Sketch, stand up, improv, clowning, and musical comedy - we do it all baby! You may have seen us cavorting on some of Australia’s hottest stages including Splendour in the Grass, Malthouse Theatre, Australian Museum, Factory Theatre, Enmore Theatre, Comedy Store Sydney, Brisbane Powerhouse, Queensland Museum, and Improv Theatre Sydney. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and we don’t expect you to either. We love comedy. You love comedy. So let’s stop teasing each other and make it happen!
