Sherri's southern roots run deep, but thank God the branches reach wide.
Born and raised in the east side of Savannah, Georgia, (that would be the
poorer area for those of you unfamiliar with the city), Sherri's comedy
derives from her personal struggles: family, religion, sexuality and money.
She has always believed that laughter is more than just a "pay off;" it has
been a source of hope and a way out.
Sherri has started a new chapter in her career and returned to her first
love, stand-up comedy, and has relocated to the comedy capital of the world,
New York City. Sherri has performed numerous times at CAROLINE'S, the IMPROV
and the Duplex, and also was Boston Comedy Club's 2003 grand finale winner ...
Sherri's got a big gig coming up on June 15th at 8:00pm at the
Sherman Theatre in Cardiff, Wales.
Sherri will perform her sharply witty one-woman show, Don’t Make Fun Of Jesus,
in aid of the charity Theatre versus Oppression. All proceeds from this show will
go towards the Kyangwali Refugee settlement project in Uganda which aids in the
education and therapy provision for young people orphaned and traumatised by
the war in DRC. Sherri D. Sutton's show is part of the Refugee Week 2009
programme of events.
