Suzanne Westenhoefer I'm Not Cindy Brady Comedy CD
Now available on iTunes!   Suzanne Westenhoefer - I'm Not Cidy Brady

“GLAMA winner for best comedy CD!”

It all began in 1990 when she entered a comedy contest at Kelly’s Piano Bar in New York. Having never appeared as a comedian before, she did her 3-minute routine and won! Each step of her career since has been met with rave reviews and incredible opportunities. Her audiences are simply crazy about her!

Suzanne Westenhoefer
Suzanne Westenhoefer’s ground-breaking career as the first openly gay comedian ever to appear on television, includes appearances on Letterman, HBO, Bravo, Logo and GSN as well as performances across the US in popular theaters, clubs, and fundraisers.

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 in 1991 on an episode of Sally Jesse Raphael entitled “Breaking the Lesbian Stereotype…Lesbians Who Don’t Look Like Lesbians.” She went on to become the first openly gay comic to host her own HBO Comedy Special in 1994, which earned her a Cable Ace Award nomination. Other television appearances include The Late Show with David Letterman, GSN’s remake of the classic game show, “I’ve Got a Secret” as well as HBO, Bravo and LOGO TV specials. 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.

Maggie Cassella – Because I Said So

Maggie Cassella Because I Said So Comedy CD
Now available on iTunes!   George Carlin - Killer Carlin

Maggie Cassella used to be a lawyer. Then she discovered people like you more if you make them laugh instead of cry. So she quit the law business and now she performs, writes and produces comedy full time. Recorded LIVE at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in Toronto, Maggie’s irreverent take on the domestic domain guarantees that, once again, she will not be appearing on “Touched by an Angel” this season.

Because I Said So is a show of Maggie Cassella’s rants and raves on today’s news and yesterday’s headlines. No one is safe and nothing is sacred, and all of it is true. Well, maybe not all of it. But that doesn’t matter. Why? Because Maggie said so!

La Wanda Page – Mutha is Half a Word

La Wanda Page Mutha is Half a WordBeware the fruminous Bandersnatch … and here she is! Years of eating fire as the Bronze Fire Goddess have forged La Wanda’s tongue into a dazzling white-hot weapon. Like a cat-o-nine tails she lashes at the square society about her with rare humor and insight, heavily laced with sex-symbolism and womanly wiles.

La Wanda closes the gap between words and language in “Mutha Is Half A Word” and puts language through the most rigorous, bawdy, raucous jokes and gems ever to scorch the atmosphere. Words will never be the same!

Robert Hawkins – Smackin’ Kittens

Robert Hawkins Smackin' Kittens
Now available on iTunes!   Robert Hawkins - Smackin Kittens

In 2005 Robert Hawkins was invited to perform at The Montreal Comedy Festival. His hilarious sets in “The Masters” series resulted in an encore performance at the “Best Of The Fest” show where he was discovered by David Drozen of Uproar.

You may recognize Robert from his appearances on “Comedy Central Presents”, “Premium Blend” or “Shorties Eating Shorties” all on CC. Fans of the FOX sitcom “Titus” will remember him as the lowlife brother-in-law, Michael.

Not bad for a high school drop out who joined the Army in 1985 because he was, in his words, “eighteen and sick and tired of 10th grade”.

In 1990 Hawkins finally decided to heed the encouragement from friends to try stand-up comedy in Dallas, Texas. In 1993 he won the California State University Comedy Competition. In 1994 he was a finalist in the San Francisco Intl. Comedy Competition prompting a move to the bay area.

In 2001 Robert was voted one of the top comics by comedy club owners for the American Comedy Awards. He continues to write for television and tours relentlessly and makes people laugh worldwide including our Armed Forces in Iraq.

Robert is the opening act for Ron White and (sometimes for) Larry The Cable Guy both of “Blue Collar Comedy” fame.

It’s a uniquely fun, clever and clean act with an incredibly broad appeal Ð an act that has earned him rave review and die-hard fans throughout the country.

Don is the only ever two-time winner of the prestigious “San Francisco International Comedy Competition” the same competition that helped launch the careers of Robin Williams, Dana Carvey, Ellen DeGeneres and Sinbad. Don has continued to impress audiences and critics alike with back-to-back Martin Short episodes (a first for the show), and a non-stop touring schedule as one of the most sought-after headliners on the comedy scene today.

His comedy is absurd yet truthful. From hysterically revealing tales of bedwetting and credit problems, to an all out satire of his life as a husband and father of two, Don’s high energy rapid-fire delivery will have you laughing so hard that you won’t even notice he’s working clean.

When he’s not ranting about cell phones, Idiots Guides, or technology run amok, Don is delivering an incredible slate of caricatures that will leave you wanting more.
