Simply put, Suzanne Westenhoefer
(Laughing Matters, Out There,
Where the Girls Are, A Family Affair) is always a pleasure. Funny,
witty and wise, see her show on dvd for the first time with this live performance
from The Village Theater in Hollywood. In the dvd extras, Suzanne discusses
her identity as a "lesbian comedian" rather than a comedian who happens
to be a lesbian. Especially as one of the first out gay or lesbian comics to play
straight comedy clubs with lesbian material, she has an agenda. You won't find
her shy about making fun of gay or straight stereotypes, while covertly educating
some audiences through laughter. In this performance, she tackles the insanity
of airport security these days, although there are the joys of spreading your
legs and being wanded by cute women in uniform. Other topics include her forays
into Home Depot as a lesbian who has no fix-it skills, turning 40, cats, fighting
with your girlfriend, and being lost in Egypt. Don't miss her live if she
makes it to your town, or check out this dvd for pleasant at home viewing. Suzanne
also stars in "I've Got a Secret" on the Game Show Network.
