The
“Queen of Comedy” Sommore brings her stand-up comedy act to the Suncoast Showroom,
July 11 and 12.
Equally
classy and sassy, Sommore’s frank, fearless routines and controversial wit have
garnered loyal fans worldwide. Among the top-grossing stand-up comedians in the
U.S. and abroad, Oprah Winfrey proclaimed her “a force to be reckoned with in
the new millennium.”
New
Jersey native Sommore began her career as the first woman to host BET’s ”Comic
View,” later hosting Russell Simmons’ “Def Comedy Jam” and “Showtime at the
Apollo.” In 2000, she entered “The Guinness Book of World Records,” performing
for an audience of more than 50,000 people in Atlanta, Ga. as part of the
“Queens of Comedy” tour. The recording
of the show became the longest-running and highest-rated special in the history
of Showtime Networks. She is the 1995
recipient of the Richard Pryor Award for Comic of the Year.
Sommore’s
film credits include roles in “Soul Plane,” “Friday After Next” and “Something
New.” She also graced the small screen,
appearing on “Flavor of Love,” as a regular on “1 vs. 100” and competing for
the winning team on season six of “Celebrity Fit Club.” Her comedy specials “The Queen Stands Alone”
(Comedy Central, 2008) and “Chandelier Status” (Showtime Networks, 2012) earned
rave reviews. In 2014, she guest starred in an episode of VH1’s television
series “Hit the Floor.”
Showtime
is 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available from $15.95, plus tax and fees. Tickets can
be purchased at any Boyd Gaming Box Office, by calling 702.636.7075, or by
