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.

by utctscanr on 7/13/09Nokia Theatre At Grand Prairie - Grand PrairieIn a style all of her own, Wanda had everyone rolling on the floor. I laughed so hard that I was crying at several times! Definitely recommend her show!

by Kaylox on 7/13/09Nokia Theatre At Grand Prairie - Grand PrairieAs expected, Wanda was absolutely hilarious. She was a bit under the weather from bronchitis but still managed to have everyone rolling in their seats. An “A+”, I will go see her again in my area.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Very great show! Wanda was hilarious!
by bjr0083 on 7/13/09Nokia Theatre At Grand Prairie - Grand PrairieAlthough she claimed to be suffering from bronchitis, she brought one of her best performances to the DFW! The show was so funny and even in moments of silence from Wanda, many of the audience members were still laughing so hard. She left out a lot of alienating political issues, which made the show even better because she was using real life to relate to the audience. Definitely surprised by how funny she was live and loved every minute of the show! It was a great time and I would suggest that everyone get tickets to see her! Very inexpensive tickets as well!

by Janzie on 7/13/09Nokia Theatre At Grand Prairie - Grand PrairieWanda just has a way of delivering her comic routine. She made my sides hurt. I keep playing her funny lines over in my head and am still laughing out loud the day after seeing her. We all need to laugh, and she's well worth your time and money to go check out.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Wanda Sykes...OUTSTANDING
by gkschoen on 7/13/09Nokia Theatre At Grand Prairie - Grand PrairieThis show was absolutely the best stand up show that I have been to. It was sad to see the show end. I know the entire audience could have stayed much much much longer. I am already anticipating her return to the Dallas area. I WILL BE ATTENDING.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Wanda's the one you want to see...
by BigJeff on 7/13/09Nokia Theatre At Grand Prairie - Grand PrairieShe could use a better opening act but once Wanda's on stage you're ready for her. She the one you want to see when things are down, she'll bring you up. She the one who says what everyone else is thinking but won't say themselves. She makes you feel like you're not the only one who thinks or feels that way and that's all right. Live, Laugh, Love, that's Wanda Sykes.

by emilytx on 7/13/09Nokia Theatre At Grand Prairie - Grand PrairieShe was witty, interacted with audience and maintained a wide range of topics most of them brand spanking new for those that have seen her before this will not be a repeat of past acts. The laughs were non-stop. THis was a bargain performance they should have charged more for the tickets!!!

Rating: 3 out of 5 average
by hasun on 7/13/09Nokia Theatre At Grand Prairie - Grand PrairieIt was a good show. You don't get the same effect if you sit far. I recommend you sit close. She had good transitions. She doesn't go into a lot of depth on current events when she tries to relate them to her jokes so a little more depth would make the jokes better. it was a good night out.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Wanda was in fine form!
by BPDallas on 7/13/09Nokia Theatre At Grand Prairie - Grand PrairieWanda was terrific - great material and delivery! Very funny, language not suitable for the CBS watching crowd. Great stories and jokes. I've never seen her live before, so this was a wonderful new experience with a top-notch comedienne!
