Lithgow Laugh Furnace

Scary Strangers have hosted workshops and performances across Australia and India, and now they’re making their way to Lithgow! Join Tom Stevenson and Ru Halwala in an epic 8-Week Stand Up Comedy course culminating in a LIVE graduation performance.

Our workshops offer a joyful, low-pressure space for people to write killer jokes, share stories, discover their creativity, connect with others, and create lasting memories for everyone involved. No previous experience or skills are required to participate.

If you’ve ever dreamed of trying Stand Up Comedy, now’s your chance!

Scary Strangers have produced and performed at star-studded, sell-out shows including The STEAM Room Science Comedy Experience featuring Doctor Karl, Big Cat Club supported by City of Sydney, Are You Havin’ a Laugh, Comedy Thali and Scary Strangers Hour Shows. They’ve performed at The Comedy Store, Enmore Theatre, Splendour in the Grass, Australian Museum, Brisbane Powerhouse, Malthouse Theatre, Factory Theatre, Queensland Museum, and many many more! They also perform regularly at Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne International Comedy Festivals.

Tom and Ru are both skilled educators, working with students of all ages and backgrounds such as professors, PhD candidates, disability support workers and children in juvenile detention centres.
