Nicholas Rudich
Nicholas not only performs the role of crowd favourite Pencil Pirate, but he is the illustrator and co-creator of the best selling children's book The Superdudes.
As the resident illustrator of The Superdudes, Nicholas has enthralled audiences around the world with his live drawing during The Superdudes stage shows. This engagement has transferred online with Nick taking fans through live drawing tutorials on The Superdudes Social Media Channels.
The genesis for The Superdudes started way back in 2010 when Stevie and Nick (Old Uni friends) started bouncing around ideas for a book. A few years later The Superdudes was born and Nick has been a part of every live stage show ever since. Superdudes wouldn’t be what it is without Nick and his talents.

Best known for his roles as a host on ABC and also the critically acclaimed Splatalot, James has been a familiar face on Australian Television screens for over a decade.

Elmer joined the Superdudes in 2019 and has quickly become a favourite of children and parents alike. His wild and wacky portrayal of Bubble Trouble provides the perfect comedic relief for the group.
