Sue Costello formerly Star of her own CBS Sitcom Costello, is performing her hysterical One Woman Show " I am Sue Costello
Sue Costello, though best known as a brilliant comedian, created and performs this play solo, with extraordinary range. Sue plays herself at different periods in her life, on stage and she converses with real-life characters we can't see, but whose presence is as real and riveting as hers. What's especially striking about #IamSueCostello, is that it isn't simply a monologue about Sue’s life or a series of quick impressions, but part comedic performance, part-raw emotional saga.
There is nothing typical about #IamSueCostello. It's a heartfelt and humanly-hysterical journey through a woman's life. From her self doubting, painfully funny childhood in Boston, through her widely entertaining teenage adventures and epiphanies, Sue’s show allows us not only to relish her stand up abilities, but to understand the personal meaning behind her routines. It's one of those great glimpses behind the curtain of someone art that leaves you somehow feeling you understand more about the meaning of life. Sue doesn't pull any punches whether recalling the wild characters from her high school, taking us back stage at her stand up, or through her near misses as a star of her own sitcom. As with all great comedy, in amongst the laughter there are tears. It's hard to say which is more gratifying.
Local Boston papers aren't simply championing a home-town girl, but heralding a major comedic and playwriting talent. The Boston Metro said “Not many people have the charisma, stamina, or the anecdotes to sustain a one and half hour show alone, Sue Costello does it sans props, costumes or music in the play.” The Boston Herald called the show “Powerful - thanks to Costello’s frank charisma and her ability to mingle humor with tragedy... It's the flipside of Costello's stand up act- too brutal and frank to be disposable as a night of jokes.” The Patriot Ledger mused that, “Costello rivets the audience with a comic’s gift for delivery and wit and an actress’ skill with emotion.”
"Sue Costello is an incredible talent – I LOVED this show!" -Patricia Clarkson. Actor and comedian Kevin Nealon also commented, “Great characters, great writing and hilarious delivery. She is the next Whoopi….” Actress Kristen Johnston said, "I left this show seething with jealousy and completely dazzled by Sue Costello's brilliant and agonizingly funny portrait of a young girl’s youth. It's an incredible story of survival, and the performance of a lifetime. I can't wait to see it again."
