1ST Annual Comedy Extravaganza At The Palace Theater in Hilo

Comedian Suzanne Westenhoefer puts her comedic talents to work raising funds for PGLAG Big Island Saturday July 24^th 2010 7PM with an event so big its is billed as an extravaganza. Suzanne Westenhoefer is one of those rare comics who can live up to such a billing; her big bawdy brash comedy has been making audiences laugh for two decades numerous HBO appearances have cemented Westenhoefer’s bold approach and her largely unscripted comedy concerts are unpredictable aside from the laugh element and her originality. Bursting out of the closet way early in her career Suzanne delights audiences no matter what their private personal preferences though naturally she has a loyal LGBTG following.
