“The Creeps is a twisted gem of a show. Waller is ugly, crude, overtly sexual, pitiful and absolutely phenomenal. Her physical, vocal and emotional performances are fantastic and as awful as I feel, I can’t look away…You won’t ever forget it, trust me. " - Theatreview.co.nz

In Off-Broadway’s one-woman show THE CREEPS, Catherine Waller's performance leads you on a unique theatrical experience "you won't soon forget" (Theatermania). Enter the world of THE CREEPS where “Waller is a magnetic presence and a brilliant purveyor of wildly divergent characters” (Blogcritics), and engage with disconcerting but surprisingly humanistic and humorous characters. “THE CREEPS is a beguiling exploration of the dark side, which is too often dangerously near the marginalized and the forgotten” (This Week In New York). Waller's characters pull you into an unexpected, emotional roller-coaster, as they interact with the audience and delve into unsettling aspects of human existence.
"Ms. Waller’s shape-shifting performance is itself an eerie, unforgettable marvel" - Wall Street Journal
Please note: The content in this show includes sensitive themes, that may be upsetting to some, please use caution.
“Without a doubt, “The Creeps” lives up to its name. Written and performed by Catherine Waller, the show tells the story of a bizarre group of malformed misfits living and surviving in a derelict building lorded over by a mysterious, oppressive doctor. With the audience encouraged to participate, Ms. Waller’s freak show is a strange and ghoulish journey into the surreal and the absurd.” – All About Solo
