No one ever accused Suzanne of being subtle, not the shuttle driver who

took her to the airport, the woman she was in line with at the grocery

store yesterday and certainly not her audiences. Subtle, she is not.

After 25 years of groundbreaking, stereotype-shattering and brutally

honest comedy, she’s not about to start pulling punches now.

The kid from Amish Country who began her comedy career on a dare is

celebrating a quarter century of out, open, no-holds-barred comedy.

Suzanne tells the truth. The truth is life is funny, especially when

it’s fermented in Suzanne’s mind. That’s why she could never be in the

closet, making her a trailblazer when she started doing stand-up in the

1990s. She was the first openly lesbian comedian with an HBO Special and

the first openly lesbian comedian on “Late Night with David Letterman.”

Heck, she was on Sally Jesse Raphael in 1991 on a show called “Breaking

the Lesbian Stereotype…Lesbians Who Don’t Look Like Lesbians.” From

“OMG, a lesbian has long hair and wears make up” to “I went to Helen and

Jane’s wedding last weekend,” that’s how far we’ve come in the 25 years

Suzanne has been telling her truth to audiences all over the world.

Some of that is certainly thanks to her candor, courage and charisma.

Suzanne never does the same show twice. She can’t. She doesn’t write

anything down. She charges boldly onto the stage and what happens is

always a mystery and a delight. Enjoy a wild night of comedy in a city

near you.
