Wanda Sykes has been deemed one of the funniest stand up comics by her peers and ranks among Entertainment Weekly's 25 Funniest People in America.
Sykes was seen on several television shows over the past two years. This year she made a return to HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” starring opposite Larry David. In 2010 she starred on her own late night talk show on FOX, “The Wanda Sykes Show”. In October of 2009 her second HBO stand up special “I’ma Be Me” premiered. It was taped at the Warner theatre in Washington DC where she tackled topics like the first black president, gay cruises, being a new mom and aging. The special was nominated for two 2010 Primetime Emmy awards: Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special and Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Special.
This July she can be heard in the animated feature “Ice Age: Continental Drift” as ‘Granny.’ In 2010 she was heard in the Fox animated feature “Rio” as ‘the Goose.’
Her first HBO comedy special “Wanda Sykes: Sick and Tired” debuted in October 2006 and was nominated for a 2007 Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special. It was taped in Seattle and covered everything from racial profiling to gay marriage.

Mr Robinson did a fantastic job. Wanda as always was phenomenal. My only complaint was, we need more Wanda time.
Wanda has a God-given natural talent to be funny and entertaining. I love everything about her. Her jokes are so real and entertaining will never miss a concert in Atlanta
3 time seeing Wanda over the last 15 years! I love that her humor is always current and relatable! Loved being able to get close seats!
Great venue comedy show was awesome. Appreciate the no phone policy and the accommodations is storing your phone while still in your possession.
I have been a huge fan of the lady for many years, way before I knew that she did stand-up. I think I've seen all of her recorded specials at least twice. I was so excited to see her in person. I brought my 16 y.o. granddaughter for her birthday and she enjoyed equally as much as I did.
From ease of parking to phone unlocked after the concert was great.. Sound was great and Wanda turned it out. It was my wife’s mother’s day gift and she laughed the entire concert. Just what the doctor ordere.d..
I've been waiting years for her to go on tour. I enjoyed every bit of the show! I laughed tears most of the night!
Wanda Sykes has been on my bucket list to see for years! I would go again in a heartbeat!
Wanda Sykes comedy show was amazing! Her opener Keith Robinson was really funny! He did a great job of warming up the crowd! Make sure you leave your smart watches at home and get a paper ticket (if you can) because you will have to lock your phones and watches in a Yondr pouch. Allow for extra time at the end of the show to get your Yondr pouch unlocked by staff members. We left a little bit early to avoid the lines and traffic.
Wanda Sykes is so good- came home to follow up with her Netflix shows- laughed so hard it hurt🤣🤣🤣
Wanda is hilarious. I would go to see her again and again.
As always, Wanda was absolutely hilarious!!!! She had the crowd laughing, clapping, cheering, and standing! Fantastic show!!!
Her delivery and comedic wit is irreplaceable. Happy my friends and I got to see her.
She was funny as usual it was a great show this is my second time I saw her
Parking was horrible!! Didn’t like putting my phone away !!! I’m not a child lol. She wasn’t that funny
I really enjoyed the event I went to (Wanda Sykes) very much. I prepaid for parking in the ovation lot. It took 45 minutes to find a parking space. Needless to say, I won’t be doing that anymore.
Wanda, Please & Thank you Tour! Show started late, Keith Richardson, opened he was okay, used “F” bomb a lot! Wanda, was full of funny comedy and Laughter! We enjoyed the show, had a great night full of laughs! Possible in future, stagger the seats, so people do not sit directly behind person in front of you, some people are big, wide, tall!
What an awesome show! Laughed so hard through the whole set!
The show itself was great, opening act and Wanda Sykes. However, show started over 35 minutes late so Wanda was only out there maybe an hour. Felt cheated for the money you pay.
She is the best female comedian! She puts on a fabulous show with wide variety of jokes touching on everyday life and current social issues! I laughed so hard and so long my face hurt!
