Stephanie Cook

Stephanie Anne , better known on stage as Shonuf, is a whole comedy weather system wrapped in rhinestones, truth-telling, and anointing oil. Hailing from Midland, Texas, she’s been commanding stages since 2019 with a fearless blend of gospel comedy, corporate humor, clean comedy, and unapologetic grown-woman sass.
As the self-proclaimed “Cultivated Curser,” Shonuf delivers punchlines with the precision of a church usher carrying hot coffee down a crowded aisle. One minute she’s talking menopause, marriage, and motherhood, the next she’s rebuking the spirit of cussing while clutching her signature brown bottle of oil. 🎤✨
Beyond the mic, Stephanie is a powerhouse producer, curator, and entrepreneur. She is the founder of ShowRoom Comedy and curator of Black Lemonade Comedy, creating spaces where diverse voices, especially women in comedy, can shine. She also launched the groundbreaking In the Middle of Nowhere Comedy Fest, helping build a comedy scene in a city better known for oil fields than open mics.
From sold-out shows with Luenell to sharing stages with comedy heavyweights like Reginald Ballard and Bubba Dub, Shonuf has carved out her own lane: part preacher’s daughter energy, part late-night porch conversation, part elegant chaos in sequins.
She’s not just telling jokes. She’s building community, creating platforms, and proving that even “the middle of nowhere” can become the center of laughter. 🌵🔥
