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.
