| Suzanne Westenhoefer |
Fearless. Bold. Sparkly. Hilarious. Thats
Suzanne Westenhoefer in a nutshell. Shes
made a career out of telling the truth. And, the
truth is, life is funny (and no one is off limits).
From her sisters obsession with Passion of the
Christ to her girlfriends Herculean thighs,
Suzanne tells stories that leave audiences in
stitches.
Suzanne works mostly unscripted, so when
she hits the stage its an unpredictable, original
night of comedy magic. Since winning her first
comedy competition on a dare in the early
1990s, Suzannes career has taken off.
Suzanne stars nightly on the GSNs remake of
the classic game show, Ive Got a Secret,
entertaining audiences as the token girl on a
hilarious all-gay panel with ex-Major League
Baseball player Billy Bean, radio icon Frank
DeCaro and Broadways Jermaine Taylor.
Notable television appearances include The
Late Show with David Letterman, Politically
Incorrect with Bill Maher, Evening at the
Improv, Carolines Comedy Hour, Arli$$ and
more. Her live comedy special A Night at the
Village runs on LOGO and Bravo. She
frequently appears as a commentator on E!,
VH1 and Country Music Television. Her life in
comedy was chronicled in the documentary
Laughing Matters (2004).
The first openly gay comedian in New York,
Suzanne did gay material to straight audiences
in mainstream comedy clubs. She was the first
lesbian comedian to garner an HBO Comedy
Special, which earned her a Cable Ace Award
nomination.
On land or at sea, Suzanne delights audiences
with over 100 performances a year at
theatres, clubs, colleges, fundraisers and
cruise and resort vacations (Olivia and RSVP
Vacations). Touring with the Indigo Girls and
Ani DiFranco made Suzanne wish shed been
born a rockstar.
