Sommore to Make Suncoast Showroom Debut, 8/30-31

Actress and comedienne Sommore brings her stand-up routine to the Suncoast Showroom August 30 and 31.

Equal parts classy and sassy, Sommore's frank, fearless routines and controversial wit have garnered loyal fans worldwide. Among the top-grossing stand-up comediennes in the United States 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 as part of the "Queens of Comedy" tour. A 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 has 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.

Showtime each evening 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 visiting www.suncoastcasino.com.
