The Passion of Living Spit artwork. Leonardo Da Vinchi's painting 'The Last Supper', featuring Jesus and his disciples sat along a large rectangular table in a spacious room. However, the Living Spit have superimposed their performers faces onto the faces of Jesus and his disciples. The Living Spit performers all have different expressions, ranging from shocked to laughing.

Living Spit presents

The Passion of Living Spit

  • Show Information

“Living Spit triumph again. The audience shrieks with delight.”
Stage Talk Magazine

Get ready to witness the most divine comedy of all time. Join us for a hilarious theatrical journey through the life and unfortunate death of the bearded, ethnically ambiguous offspring of God, Jesus H. Christ.

Featuring a smattering of JC’s greatest hits: water into wine! Loaves and fishes! Parables! Miracles! Animals! Vegetables! Minerals! And with a holy host of reimagined Easter hymns, this is a Sunday school lesson unlike any other…

With a dash of irreverent wit, a sprinkle of divine inspiration and a hearty helping of tasteless biblical buffoonery, The Passion of Living Spit promises to give a whole new meaning to the term ‘Cross-dressing’.

They’re going to nail it!

“Quickfire wit, broad-brush parody and a healthy dose of blasphemy, delivered by a cast who have total mastery of their medium – the perfect mix for a good night in the theatre.”
Theatre Guide

“Pure chaos and hilarity… the audience were in fits of giggles and cheered their approval throughout.”

Houdini’s Greatest Escape artwork: An illustration that shows the top of a crystal ball, within which we see Houdini (a white man wearing a grey suit) with his hands in cuffs, looking surprised. Surrounding him are disembodied hands holding a variety of objects: a fake gun shotting a flag that reads ‘bang!’, a key, a set of playing cards, a safe, an elephant and a goldfish in a bowl. A woman’s face peers over the crystal ball, only her eyes visible.
