 Jesus
Loves Me, He Just Hates What I’m Doing.
Read a Review
Posty’s been to the Mormon Zion and she’s as unrepentant as ever! In
this live version of her new book and documentary Sue-Ann tells the
behind-the-scenes tale of her trip to Utah to perform for a group of gay
and lesbian Mormons. Despite many tears, her own excommunication and
some really bad Mormon dancing, she has finally found a place where she
seems perfectly normal.
Having trodden in the footsteps of her religious forefathers, Sue-Ann
uses her thought-provoking style of comedy to examine God, sex and
family values as she discovers communities of polygamous lesbians and
40-year-old gay virgins. Her insights are bound to shock and delight
people from all ends of the spiritual spectrum.
Jesus Loves Me, He Just Hates What I’m Doing premiered at the 2005
Melbourne International Comedy Festival and features a special return
appearance of her famous “rooting bunnies”.
“doesn’t waste one millisecond of oddity” – Helen
Razer, The Age
 Opinionated
Bint
Read a Review
Sue-Ann Post has always had firm views and she has never been afraid to
let the world know about them. In Opinionated Bint the spotlight is
firmly on monogamy and why it’s wrong, unnatural and silly.
Opinionated Bint rounds up arguments and evidence from nature and
history to prove that monogamy and the nuclear family are relatively
recent inventions and that there are many other ways that people
organize their lives. In this hilarious but thoughtful show Sue-Ann
relates her theories on the “dangers” of celibacy and the joys of
polyamory or having multiple lovers.
By the end of Opinionated Bint you just might find yourself looking at
the world in a whole new light. After all, as Posty says, “If one is the
loneliest number, two really isn’t that much better”.
“There is quite simply no more enjoyable way to wrestle
with the problems of sex and love than by listening to and watching this
immensely sympathetic and gently scandalous comic” – Jonathan
Marshall, InPress.
“hilarious and brilliantly delivered” – Beat Magazine
G-Strings and Jockstraps
Winner – 1999 Barry Award for Best Show at the Melbourne
International Comedy Festival
Read a Review
G-Strings and Jockstraps is Posty’s homage to all things sporting. It
features her brief stint as a Sumo wrestler for The Jim Rose Circus
complete with ringside snaps that prove that being a comedian is easy
compared to living with a freak-show and fighting professional thugs.
On a more serious note Sue-Ann outlines her whirl-wind career as a
hammer-thrower which saw her training with the national coach and
preparing for the Olympics before newly-acquired diabetes put a halt to
her preparations just months before the games.
Sue-Ann now prefers to participate in sport from the comfort of her
armchair, with remote control in hand and tells how she came to terms
with her Dutch heritage while watching a crowd of over-excited,
orange-clad Dutch fans at the Soccer World Cup. After a sell-out season
at the Sydney Opera House as part of the Gay Games, G-Strings and
Jockstraps is a barrel of laughs for sports-lovers and sports-haters
alike.
“A bizarre but human and funny story of the triumph of a
big women who has finally found a milieu in which people look at her
body and say: ‘That’s perfect!’” – John McCallum, The Australian.
“One of those rare shows you really don’t want to end. Lovely, lovely
work.” – Fiona Scott-Norman, The Age
A Bit of a Postscript
Winner – 1992 Best Comedy of the Festival at the New
Zealand International Festival of the Arts
Winner – 1991 Radio National Best Comic Performance at the Melbourne
Fringe Festival
Read a Review
A Bit of a Postscript is Sue-Ann’s original autobiographical show which
shot her to fame in Australia in the early 90s. Sue-Ann’s life story
covers Mormonism, lesbianism, alcoholism and incest… and it’s a comedy!
This hilarious, heart-wrenching show has played to packed houses and
rave reviews throughout Australia and the world.
Postscript has had toured Australia widely and been shown as part of ABC
TV’s Smallest Room in the House and been published in book form. Due to
its prominence, Sue-Ann now rarely performs Postscript within Australia,
but it acts as a perfect introduction for overseas audiences unfamiliar
with Sue-Ann’s work. If you’ve never seen Posty perform before, this is
the show for you.
“Brilliant” – Terry Jones, Monty Python
“Hilarious theatrical therapy… extraordinary material, captivating.”
– Virginia Trioli, The Age
