Not only was she blessed with the gift of gab but she also turned her fair share of heads in beauty pageants.  This former beauty queen was runner up in the Miss America Pageant’s preliminary representing the state of New Jersey.  Years later she again represented New Jersey but this time as “New Jersey’s Funniest Female.â€?

With a BA in Criminal Justice, Sunda also worked as a probation and parole review officer in Newark, NJ.  She then got an offer from Detective Vincent Parco (Parco PI, Court TV) to work as a detective doing overt and covert surveillance which granted her time to still pursue her career where she took acting classes and eventually landed roles in local plays and films.

At a chance encounter in New York City, Sunda was joking around at a party when she met Jackie Mason who told her to seriously consider doing stand up comedy and with her husband’s encouragement, took a comedy class and had her first paid gig within weeks.

Her first performance was at a club called “Don’t Tell Mamaâ€?.  “I was scared but loved the thrill of being in front of an audience talking about my lifeâ€?.  And there is a lot to laugh at because when you’re  a Swedish and Black Jew, growing up looking like a Puerto Rican and your mother gives you a Hindu name and sends you to an Irish Catholic School….you’re bound to be funny.  But of course the funny doesn’t stop there…..being married to an attorney with an overbearing Jewish mother in law and two precocious daughters under six makes this comedian different from all others.  She’s the ultimate “Diverse Diversionâ€? ….she relates to being African-American.  She relates to being a Jewish Princess….she has all these experiences that come together to make her the story of America.

Sunda has produced her own comedy shows including: “Femmes Fatalesâ€? one of the longest running female comedy showcases for NY’s Toyota Comedy Festival for eight years.  She is also the Chairperson for the Annual “Laugh Offâ€?, an event that brings awareness to Gilda’s Club in Northern New Jersey. This is a cancer support group that was formed by the late comedian Gilda Radner.
