Who is Stephen Thorpe?
Stephen Thorpe is an improviser at Improv Theatre Sydney and a member of Tardigrades, whose 2026 ITS Comedy Festival show Moss Piglets Defrost cast the players as tiny moss-dwelling creatures thawing out after a very long freeze. Working from what the audience tells them, the troupe makes up playful what-if scenes about the lives the creatures missed while frozen. Thorpe shared that stage with Anthony Voutas, Charlotte Casey, Connor Richardson, Genevieve Kaiser, Lily Woodhouse and Susanna Carter, who directed. Earlier the same season he entered the ITS Smackdown heats in the trio Rats, with Voutas and Carter. [1][2]
