bio:
Suzanne is hot. In the beginning, she teamed up with fellow performers to create sketch group The Hollywood Players, in which she wrote and performed. After multiple sold-out runs at the Acme Theatre in Hollywood, Sole moved on to create, write, and perform in Peep Show, an all-female sketch show at the HBO Workspace. A graduate of the Second City Conservatory in Los Angeles, Sole has graced the stage of the L.A. Second City, and has been a guest performer in some of Hollywood's premiere sketch festivals, such as Comedy Cocktail and The Los Angeles Sketch Fest.
Sole took her creativity to stand-up comedy where she found herself one of the ten finalists in The Rebels of Comedy Stand-up Contest, held at the famous Friars Club in Beverly Hills. She began performing regularly at such comedy clubs as The Hollywood Improv and The Ice House, among others in Los Angeles.
Starring in a number of independent films, Sole has been seen in festivals including the World of Comedy International Film Festival and the Giggleshorts International Film Festival in Toronto, The Guerilla Film Festival in Tribeca, and The Los Angeles Film Festival.
Sole has made several television appearances — including one very memorable moment on the American Comedy Awards, leaving executive producer George Schlatter tickled pink. In January 2005, she was cast as Shirley Partridge in VH1's pilot, The New Partridge Family, written and produced by Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein for Sony Television. She has appeared on NBC's Joey; in the TBS pilot What News?; Stephen's Life, a pilot for NBC Studios; It's So Over on the E! Network; Lifetime's Strong Medicine; and in Running Joke, a pilot presentation for MTV.
Sole hit the stage in 2007, starring in the Broadway National Tour of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, receiving rave reviews as sassy, brassy American tourist Muriel. The production was directed by Phil McKinley and choreographed by Vince Pesce.
In New York City, Suzanne Sole thrilled audiences with her comedic, dramatic and vocal chops in the Off-Broadway production of Jason Robert Brown's Songs for a New World, in the leading role of Woman 2, performing monologue style comedic songs that brought down the house. The production marked the show's highly anticipated return to New York, thirteen years after its debut.
Suzanne Sole is currently based in Chicago.
