As always, Suzanne did not disappoint. Her humor is so fresh and alive, and her delivery is impeccable. She really has her finger on the pulse of so many of our modern day foibles and I loved this show from start to finish.
I am a huge fan of Suzanne yet I have to say that I have heard her stand up before and it was much more funny. She had new content this time which was great but I just was not laughing as hard as I have in the past. It did not meet my expectations of her former shows.
Very very funny lady with great stage presence.
Don't miss her. She will be at the Rrazz room in December.
Very funny but somewhat scattered.

She’s fearless and freakin’ hilarious! She’s Suzanne! Back with Theatre Rhinoceros for two shows only at the historic Victoria Theatre, these are Suzanne’s only two SF performances this year.
She wowed you in '07 when they brought her to town. Now she’ll wow you again!
She’s the star of the Logo Channel, Sweet Cruises and so much more - live, in person, and hysterical!
About Suzanne Westenhoefer
Fearless, bold, unapologetic, and freaking hilarious best describes Comedian Suzanne Westenhoefer. She’s made a career out of telling the truth. And, the truth is, life is funny and no one is off limits. From her mom’s Last Will and Testament to her dog’s embarrassing discovery, Suzanne shares stories that leave audiences in stitches.
The first openly gay comedian in the United States, Suzanne has delivered gay material to straight audiences in mainstream comedy clubs beginning in NYC since the early ’90s. After accepting a dare, she entered the world of comedy by accident and her life has never been the same since. Suzanne soon became the first lesbian comedian to garner an HBO Comedy Special, earning her a Cable Ace Award nomination. Additionally, a performance on “Late Night with David Letterman” marked the first by an openly lesbian comedian.
Suzanne works mostly unscripted, so when she hits the stage it’s an unpredictable, original night of comedy magic. On land or at sea, Suzanne delights audiences with over 100 performances a year at theaters, clubs, colleges, fundraisers and cruise and resort vacations. Having toured with the Indigo Girls and Ani DiFranco while on various cruises, Suzanne wishes she’d been born a rockstar.
Suzanne’s current live tour, “A Bottom on Top,” aired as a comedy special and documentary on LOGO Television in fall 2007 (and is now available on DVD). In the summer of 2006, Suzanne starred nightly on the GSN’s remake of the classic game show, “I’ve Got a Secret.” HBO, Bravo and LOGO TV specials dot her resume. Her latest venture, a starring role in the online drama “We Have To Stop Now” is available at JillBennett.com.
