"...an underground cultural jewel..." Sally Goldner has gigged around Melbourne's comedy circuit for over three years after her debut on 22 December 2003 (some Christmas present to give yourself). She has grabbed the mike at venues including The Local (St Kilda), the Lair (Clifton Hill), Comfortable Chair (Brunswick) and Vibe on Smith (Fitzroy) and is a finalist in the Search for a Funnybone competition in 2005. She is a sorority sister of Jeez Louise, the women's comedy forum held as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and inspired by the fabulous Linda Haggar. She keeps her microphone slut image stoked by presenting "Out of the Pan" on 3CR 855 AM, at noon every Sunday. No, it's not a cooking show; it covers pansexual issues i.e. knowing no boundaries of sex and gender. She previously co-presented, with long time friends Jay and Lauren, the transgender issues show "Transmission Time" from 1999-2004 on JOY Melbourne. While at JOY she also presented breakfast, (love that 4 AM wake-up masochism), the weekday morning magazine show Pink Perspective, the All-Australian Music Show and Pot Pourri. Whether brave or foolhardy, she has also tried to disprove the "good face for radio" theory on Channel 31 Melbourne's BENT TV in 2001-2002 by both appearing on and later co-producing (with Steve "Love Kitten" Andersson) the pioneering queer panel show, "Squeal." She has also ripped the gender envelope to shreds as the world's first male-to-female transsexual drag king, Aussie Boy with performances at King Victoria, now resident at the Star Hotel. Community involvement past and present includes the Melbourne Marching Girls, TransGender Victoria, Seahorse Victoria and Lifeline. By day, she is a mild-mannered accountant specialising in the community sector and has trained as a life coach. |
