Sue-Ann Post
Convention topic - Twenty Years of Kicking God in the Shins
Sue-Ann Post launched onto the scene in 1991 with her multi award winning solo show, A Bit of a Postscript, which was adapted for television as an episode of Smallest Room in the House. She has created her own brand of information charged comedy that has shocked and delighted audiences around Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the USA. She took out the Melbourne Comedy Festival’s prestigious Barry Award for her performance of G-Strings and Jockstraps in 1999 and wrote a column in The Age for three years.
Sue-Ann’s film A Lost Tribe, featured on ABC TV’s Compass and was broadcast nationally in the USA and Israel. This documentary followed Sue-Ann’s journey to Salt Lake City, Utah or the Mormon Zion to perform at the annual gay and lesbian Mormon conference. It captures lots of hugging, many tears, Sue-Ann’s own excommunication and some very bad Mormon dancing. The book of the journey, The Confession of an Unrepentant Lesbian Ex-Mormon, is available through ABC Books. Sue-Ann is currently working on her next book, titled How to Save the Whole Damn World (No Really).
Ever since leaving the Mormon Church at age 19, comedian Sue-Ann Post has been kicking God in the shins and poking Him with a pointy stick. She has done material that has left even hard-core atheists flinching and been excommunicated on television, not once, but twice. During one show she even considered it necessary to have a lightning rod on stage (just in case).
Sue-Ann will talk about 20 years of doing confronting atheist material on stage and how much fun it's been to see minds implode right in front of her. Sue-Ann's previous work has included the book The Confession of an Unrepentant Lesbian Ex-Mormon and the solo stage show Jesus Loves Me...He Just Hates What I'm Doing but now performing for a room full of confirmed athiests, she can really let rip.
