Sommore is a paragon of excellence when it comes to good entertainment. This
Trenton, New
Jersey native is the 'Original Queen of Comedy'. Her
performances offer audiences a hilarious, piercing look at today's issues from
woman's perspective.
Sommore has emerged as one of America's top comedic female
performers. Oprah Winfrey dubbed Sommore as "a force to reckoned with in
the new Millennium." Sommore consistently provides her audiences across
the country with entertaining comedic relief concerning the realities of
everyday life. She tells her story the only way she knows how..... Straight up!
With sharp wit and cunning sarcasm, Sommore speaks about the things that most
women only think about, but never say.
This veteran of comedy has achieved many accolades and recognition for her
quick wit. In 1995, she earned the Richard Pryor Award for Comic of the Year.
As a result she was selected as the first female host of Black Entertainment
Television (BET) Comic View. She hosted the show for an entire year, which
brought her into millions of homes daily.
In 2000, Sommore was selected to be a part of the highly successful The
Kings & Queens of Comedy tour. The tour garnered Sommore a wider fan base
and got her registered in Guinness Book of World Records as being the first
female comedienne to perform before an audience of over 44,000 people in Atlanta, GA
at the Georgia Dome; never has a female comedienne accomplished that.
Sommore believes that "Comedy is an expressive art; it's not what you
say, it's how you say it." Sommore, views her own comedy as a form of
self-expression; it's no wonder why she's been dubbed the new Whoopi Goldberg
with make-up. Her views represent the importance of being able to freely
express oneself first and foremost, to think intelligently, and to always
represent oneself with grace, style and class.
Sarcasm coupled with realism empowers this "Queen" to express her
point of view about life. She consistently delivers her message with humor on
the reality of this day and time. "Funny is funny regardless of personal
differences", explains Sommore. Her hilarious live stage performances are
a reflection of her beliefs. Sommore is always ready to tell it like it is
whenever a situation demands a candid approach.
Sommore continues to perform to sold out audiences across the country with
her 'One Woman' show, and has earned the distinct reputation of being the only
female comic accepted in the "boys club" of stand-up comedy. No
wonder it is not a surprise that this 'Queen' really stands alone!
