You might know this comedian from…

Suzanne Westenhoefer in a word: candid. She’s refreshingly candid, disturbingly candid and oh-my-god-she-just-said-that candid. Happily, she’s funny, too.

For over two decades, this bold and brazen out lesbian comedian has been traveling the world, sharing her heart and soul with audiences. Whatever is going on in Suzanne’s life, you’ll get an earful of it. She doesn’t tell jokes. She tells the truth. Or the truth as filtered through her uniquely twisted life experience.

Raised by a single mom in Pennsylvania’s Amish Country, Suzanne knows what it’s like to stick out like a sore thumb. It made her even more daring and precocious.

Suzanne’s extraordinary candor made a life in the closet impossible. The minute she knew she was a lesbian, everyone else knew, too. Luckily, someone put a microphone in her hand so we could laugh along with her.

Her openness blazed a trail of firsts: first openly lesbian comedian with an HBO special and first openly lesbian comedian on Late Night with David Letterman.

Every show Suzanne does is original, as her candor problem leaves no room for scripting.

Enjoy a wild night of comedy as Suzanne comes to a city near you. You never know what’s going to come out of her mouth, but it’s sure to make you laugh.
