About Sommore
Sommore has made guest appearances on a number of television programs, including as HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, Showtime at the Apollo, ComicView, and BET Live from L.A. In addition to that, she has appeared as a special guest on the episodes of the comedies The Hughleys and The Parkers, and she has been a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show. In addition to that, she was a guest on the Comedy Central Roast of Flavor Flav. On the game show “1 vs. 100,” which aired in 2008, she made an appearance as a member of the mob in more than one episode.
The ability to write, according to Sommore, was the key to her success as a comedienne. She did a considerable amount of research on the business of humor and learnt about the art of comedy as a result of the influence of her father, who was a writer and an English teacher. She is a huge fan of gospel music, and Karen Clark Sheard is her musical idol.
Sommore has previously called the cities of Los Angeles and Fort Lauderdale, Florida home in addition to her birthplace of Trenton, New Jersey. The city of Miami is presently serving as her principal abode. Her father, the poet Doughtry “Doc” Long, and her half-sister, the actress Nia Long, are both well-known in the entertainment industry.
Trenton, New Jersey, is where Sommore spent his childhood. She received her high school diploma in 1985 from McCorristin Catholic High School, which is now known as Trenton Catholic Academy. Prior to that, she received her education at Our Lady of the Divine Shepherd and The Pennington School.
She received her degree in business administration from Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia, and she graduated with that degree. After earning her degree, Sommore worked a variety of professions before beginning her successful career as a stand-up comedian, including positions in retail, employment consulting, and as an algebra instructor.
Soul Plane, A Miami Tail, Friday After Next, and Something New are just a few of the movies in which she has appeared.
The Queens of Comedy tour featured African American female comedians Sommore, Mo’Nique, Laura Hayes, and Adele Givens as its headlining acts. The tour was videotaped, and the resulting documentary was later broadcast on Showtime and made available on DVD.
On September 30, 2008, Sommore presented “The Queen Stands Alone” to an audience for the first time anywhere in the world. Her stand-up comedy special, which was a cinematic adaptation of her stand-up act and was developed and produced by Sommore in conjunction with her entertainment business One Thousand Kisses, Inc., was just made available.
On the sixth season of Celebrity Fit Club, Sommore emerged victorious and took home the grand prize. During the course of the show, she shed 11 pounds. Netflix began airing her one-hour special titled “Sommore: The Reign Continues” in the year 2018.
Summing-Up
Her comic approach, which has earned her the title of “Diva of Contemporary Comedy,” is characterized by cutting sarcasm and candid conversations about wealth, sexuality, and equality between the sexes. She was the first woman to ever host the long-running stand-up showcase ComicView on Black Entertainment Television (BET), and she was also one of the four female comedians that headlined The Queens of Comedy tour. Her rise to popularity began when she was given the opportunity to host the show. She has been nominated for the Richard Pryor Award for Comic of the Year and has acted in the movies “Friday After Next,” “Soul Plane,” and “Dirty Laundry,” among others.
