“This recording is dedicated to the funniest man I ever knew, Phillip Aston … my Pop-Pop.”.
Raised in The Pennsylvania Amish country, Suzanne always loved being the center of attention, so she naturally gravitated to acting in school. After graduating from college, with a BFA, like so many aspiring actors, she moved to New York City and became a bartender. Finally, she was dared to enter a comedy contest at a popular cabaret in the West Village and won first prize. From then on, she was hooked on comedy and everyone who saw her was hooked on her.
Suzanne then began doing stand-up as one of the first openly gay comedians performing gay comedy to straight audiences in mainstream comedy clubs. In 1991, Suzanne appeared on a groundbreaking episode of the Sally Jesse Raphael show called, “Breaking the Lesbian Stereotype … Lesbians Who Don’t Look Like Lesbians”. Says, Suzanne, “In the 12 years since that showed aired, I still get mail from people who tell me how that show changed their lives. It changed mine too.”
