Suzanne Westenhoefer

Fearless.  Bold.  Sparkly.  Hilarious. That’s Suzanne Westenhoefer in a nutshell. She’s made a career out of telling the truth.  And, the truth is, life is funny (and no one is off limits).  From her sister’s obsession with “Passion of the Christ” to her girlfriend’s Herculean thighs, Suzanne tells stories that leave audiences in stitches.

Suzanne works mostly unscripted, so when she hits the stage it’s an unpredictable, original night of comedy magic.  Since winning her first comedy competition on a dare in the early 1990’s, Suzanne’s career has taken off.

In the summer of 2006, Suzanne starred nightly on the GSN’s remake of the classic game show, “I’ve Got A Secret,” entertaining audiences as the “token girl” on a hilarious all-gay panel with ex-Major League Baseball player Billy Bean, radio icon Frank DeCaro and Broadway’s Jermaine Taylor.  Currently, Suzanne is making a documentary for LOGO TV with All Out Films and writing her first book.

The first openly gay comedian in New York, Suzanne did gay material to straight audiences in mainstream comedy clubs.  She was the first lesbian comedian to garner an HBO Comedy Special, which earned her a Cable Ace Award nomination.

On land or at sea, Suzanne delights audiences with over 100 performances a year at theatres, clubs, colleges, fundraisers and cruise and resort vacations (Olivia and RSVP Vacations).  Touring with the Indigo Girls and Ani DiFranco made Suzanne wish she¹d been born a rock star.

Amy Armstrong and Freddy Allen

Of all the entertainers performing today, Amy Armstrong and Freddy Allen are the ones standing out above the rest.  This Chicago-based “Dynamic Duo” has been captivating audiences for over ten years performing in cities coast-to-coast, including Los Angeles, New York, St. Louis, Key West, San Francisco, St. Paul, Seattle, Detroit, Saugatuck, Provincetown, Denver, Puerto Vallarta, Ft. Lauderdale, Grand Rapids and Chicago.  In 1998, their travels took them to Denmark where they were the featured artists at Copenhagen’s New Years Concert.  They have been the opening act for several familiar names including Mary Wilson and the Supremes, Phyllis Diller, Bea Arthur, Jennifer Holiday, Judy Tenuta, Lois Bromfeld and Judy Gold.  For over eight years, they have been considered as one of the most popular cabaret acts for RSVP Vacations.

When Amy and Freddy are not on tour, they perform around their hometown of Chicago.  They are also proud to be featured entertainers for the University of Illinois GLBT Program.

Originally from Detroit, Amy has been a professional entertainer since she was a young child.  Her powerful and soulful voice mesmerizes listeners while her hilarious and risqué humor keeps them doubled over in laughter.  Amy made her home in Chicago in 1995 and quickly became one of the Windy City’s hottest talents.

Freddy, Amy’s pianist and music director, has been a professional musician for over twenty years.  After moving from St. Louis in 1995, Freddy successfully made his name as one of Chicago’s most well known pianists.  When he is not performing with Amy, Freddy works as a free-lance musician and teaches piano and voice.

Amy and Freddy have produced four very successful albums: Amy and Freddy – the Debut, Life Is A Cabaret, Naturally Flawless and Feeling Good.  All of the recordings have been recognized nationally, and have received rave reviews.

Amy’s beautiful voice, edgy humor and quick wit, combined with Freddy’s impeccable musical arrangements and sly repartee creates an evening of enjoyable and unforgettable entertainment.
