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

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!
