FOF #1279 – Suzanne Westenhoefer Loves Her Fiestaware

We could have had anyone on the show- Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul. Today we have comedian Suzanne Westenhofer! She is very very sexy and very funny. Suzanne Westenhofer, she’s what Feast of Fun is all about.

As a stand-up comedian, there was never a time when Suzanne Westenhoefer wasn’t out and proud on stage. For 20 over years she has boldly entertained audiences with her hilarious outlook on life and culture.

In 1991 Susanne was a guest on Sally Jesse Raphael’s talk show for an episode titled “Lesbians Who Don’t Look Like Lesbians” in a good natured attempt to rip apart lesbian stereotypes. By today’s standards, the title of the show would be deemed offensive, but for 15 years after her appearance, she was still receiving fan mail.

Listen as Suzanne shares with us hilarious stories of working as a young comedian in Provincetown 20 years ago, dishes the dirt on the Dina Shore Classic and the changing face of gay and lesbian humor.

Plus,

The insanely colorful world of Fiestaware collectors.

Singing with the Indigo Girls.

And are we too hard on celebrities who come out of the closet?
