This video of the creator of and cast members of Season One of “We Have To Stop Now” talking about the creation of the show & the psychology of their characters is a good place to start.  Want more?  Go to www.wehavetostopnow.tv -

Enjoy!

I’ll be playing host for 7 (count ‘em – 7!) of your favorite lezzie comics – including Vicki Shaw, Erin Foley, Bridget McManus, Sandra Valls, Gloria Bigelow, Jennie McNulty and Nicol Paone.

If you’ve never been to The Dinah before you will NOT want to miss this one – Ke$ha is performing (hot!) and I’ll be co-hosting OneMoreLesbian’s Battle of the Lesbian Web Series event along with my buddy Doria Biddle from The Frank DeCaro Show on Sirius Radio’s OutQ.

Can’t wait to see you there!

And now, Suzanne takes it to the road one more time with her upcoming tour, most appropriately named, “Totally Inappropriate.” This new show will continue Suzanne’s tradition of working mostly unscripted, so when she hits the stage it’s an unpredictable, original night of comedy magic. Every night on the tour will feature new material inspired by her experiences in that city, some of which are created on the spot. “The audience and I participate in the creation of each night’s show,” she says, an interactive approach that makes her shows unique in the world of live comedy.

While she says she can’t promise dancing girls or magic tricks on her new tour, she does guarantee an hour and a half of “the same brilliant stand up comedy that I’ve been pumping out for 19 years.” And, she adds, “Each show on the tour will have its own version of inappropriateness, so you’ll need to come to a show and find out for yourself.” Upcoming stops on the “Totally Inappropriate” tour include shows in Ft Lauderdale, Denver, Alexandria, Va., Santa Ana, Ca., and Ft Worth, Tx.

Suzanne says the inspiration for her new show came from a joke between her and her girlfriend of six years, Jennifer. “We were each raised very differently,” Suzanne says, “And ever since we’ve been together she’s been shocked, horrified, and aghast at the things I’ll say. This includes everyday things like asking people about their sexuality in the bank line. She tells me I don’t have appropriate boundaries, so it’s become a huge running joke between us. “Suzanne hopes that “Totally Inappropriate” can progress from a stage show to something that eventually she can get down on paper, like a book, or perhaps, she says, “a comedy brochure.”

After entering the world of comedy on a dare, Suzanne has been delivering gay material in mainstream clubs to straight audiences and proudly performing within the LGBT community ever since. She became the first openly lesbian comic ever to appear on television when she was invited to perform on “Late Night with David Letterman.” She was also the first lesbian comedian to garner an HBO Comedy Special, which earned her a Cable Ace Award nomination. Now beginning her 20th year of side-splitting merriment, she continues to forge new ground while enjoying her well-earned reputation as a pioneer on the lesbian comedy scene.

Suzanne’s recent tour, “Finally legal… in a few states,” entertained audiences across the country, and was a headlining act on Sweet’s recent Caribbean cruise. Her latest venture, a starring role in the popular online web drama “We Have To Stop Now” is about to enter its second season, with the first soon available on DVD. Other recent shows of note include the GLAMA award-winning “A Bottom on Top,” and appearances on HBO, Bravo and LOGO TV.

But you might be asking yourself?  Why go now?  What good reasons do I have for joining a 2,000 women on a ship?

1) THERE WILL BE TWO THOUSAND WOMEN ON THE SHIP!!

2)  You will be helping the earth, the economy AND possibly meeting new and wonderful ladies you will be friends with for life.

3) I am going, and will be giving out hugs to anyone who can help me find my way  around the ship.  (No fair if you bring a GPS!!)

4) This is the year of change and it’s time to change the way you vacation and SWEET is the change we all need

5)  There will never be another first time.  And remember how much you loved your first time doing anything with lesbians????

Support this cruise and what it stands for and join me.   I cannot wait to see all your wild, crazy, smiling faces in November!!!

XOXO -
Suzanne

Suzanne Westenhoefer says No on H8

The NOH8 Campaign is a photo project created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley in direct response to the passage of Proposition 8.

Recently Suzanne, and several other artists that will be joining her on board the upcoming Sweet Caribbean Cruise, had a very special chance to participate in a NOH8 campaign photo shoot, and their photos came out beautifully.
