Theodora van der Beek: Mr Creep

Sat 7 Feb 26 60 minutes
Following its award-winning Edinburgh run, Mr Creep is a dark, unhinged and sharply funny dive into the uncomfortable beige leather shoes of a man we all recognise, but wish we didn’t.
Winner: Emerging Talent Award
Birds of Paradise Awards 2025
‘Brilliant comic with the punk spirit of the Sex Pistols’
★★★★ Scotsman

Meet Martin, the creep lurking in the shadows. Familiar yet alien, ‘harmless’ but predatory, comical but unsettling – he refuses to avert his gaze or listen to what you want. His fingers are all thumbs and he eats processed meat straight out of the packet, endlessly.

Blending dark comedy, lo-fi theatricality, and razor-edged critique, Theodora van der Beek invites us into Martin’s world – where sinister, retro nostalgia meets the cursed manifestations of our modern internet brains. Through him, she plays a game of consent with herself, unmasking the mechanics of sexual predation and society’s quiet complicity.

A provocative pull down the seedy rabbit hole that is Mr Creep, daring us to stop pretending he’s not there.
