Robert Post is a brilliant physical comedian with a stunning theatrical mind. Combine a quart of dry humor with tablespoons of expert mime, versatile acting, and skilled juggling; add a keen sense of satire and the absurd. Blend in splendid timing and experience, and what do you get? A host of unforgettable characters at the perfect comedy feast.
Post will select from various works in his repertoire including : "SPIKED!," an impossibly fast-paced work set entirely to a sound effects tape; "POST Child," a duet with a puppet; "Pasquale`s Kitchen," in which his wacky TV chef uses visual gags, dialects, jokes, magic and rhythm to whip up a culinary feast; "Beyond the Wall (A Mystery)," a six-character quick-change murder mystery spoof; "Ballet 101," a hysterical parody of a ballet instructor; and "Tango," a "passionate" dance with red long johns. All of the works are presented in a relaxed, improvisational performance style that breaks down the wall between performer and audience.
Post has performed across the United States and internationally, in almost every conceivable setting including concert halls, street corners, dinner theaters, prisons, factories, TV commercials, homeless shelters, festivals, with symphony orchestras, and more. His work has also been seen in an award-winning PBS special, Robert Post - In Performance. Post maintains a commitment to education and has also performed extensively for young audiences and families in his tours and residencies, including a two-week sold-out run of Post Comedy Theatre to rave reviews at the acclaimed New Victory Theatre (Broadway`s theatre for young audiences).
