Before Ellen and before Cho, there was 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 (What is the discovery? Strange otherwise), Suzanne shares stories that leave audiences in stitches.
The first openly gay comedian in the U.S., Suzanne has delivered gay

High School in South Texas was not kind to Paul J. Williams. As a “creative” teenager, he was in band, choir AND drama. Wimp. Nerd. Fag. To counter the endless teasing and name-calling, Paul learned early on to always have the last word. Eventually, this defense mechanism developed into a very quick wit, which came in handy as he endured four repressive years of

Long before Ellen and Rosie, Suzanne Westenhoefer belonged to an elite club of funny ladies who dared to be gay out of the gate. Since 1990, the riotous, openly lesbian blonde comic has made audiences—on land and water—cry from laughing. And she’s never put her sexual orientation on the back burner for an audience’s comfort level.
Before she rose to her status as a recognizable comic darling for the gay and lesbian community, she tossed her spot-on ruminations of everyday life on to straight audiences. And she’s still around to tell about it!

Karen Williams is known as that thin Black lesbian stand-up comic with a lot to say and the gift for saying it in a screamingly funny way. Heads turn at her rapid-paced raps on single motherhood, dating, relationships, celibacy, AIDS, economic inequity, racism, codependency, and whatever topic strikes her fancy, or object from the audience catches her attention. Audiences marvel at her strong and thoughtful presence, her acute awareness, but it is her attitude — anger and angst masked behind diffidence — which brings her observations home.

Jason Wood is carving out a niche for himself in the comedy world with his effervescent personality , hilarious comedy, and spine-tinglingly good singing.

RONN VIGH brings his unique brand of comedy to clubs, colleges, and airport lavatories all over.
His brash attitude and acerbic wit have had him compared to a young Joan Rivers (SF Weekly)- well, if she was male, gay, and didnt start shooting Botox by the pound.
He has been a semi finialist and featured on NBC’s Last Comic Standing II and IV and is no stranger to the comedy and

Margaret Cho is, quite simply, a living icon of the stand-up comedy world. More than a comedian and entertainer, the San Francisco native is a strong-voiced activist for womens’ rights and the rights of gays and lesbians. And now the power she wields will only grow as her new VH1 reality show, The Cho Show premieres this week.
It’s difficult to tap into something unknown about a comedian that even your mother has heard of, but someone like Margaret Cho is nothing, if not an endless well of interest and creativity. Beginning in 1995, with the debut of her ill-fated star-vehicle sitcom All American Girl, Cho burst onto the scene as a fiery force of unforgettable, wholly enduring comedic appeal.

Like any good stand-up comic, Steve Moore has a reserve of comebacks to draw upon if the crowd gets unruly or groans at a joke.
“Don’t mess with me, folks,” he is apt to say in his husky Virginia drawl. “I can open a vein and take out the whole front row.” Or he might pick up a stein off a nearby table and ask ever-so-innocently, “Excuse me, Goober, can I have a sip of your beer?”
Even the helplessly drunk and the terminally jaded spring instantly to attention. The 42-year-old Moore, you see, is gay. Nearly eight years ago, he tested positive for HIV. Since then he has watched
