Review of Wanda Sykes: Not Normal

Not Normal definitely has plenty of quality moments that make it worth watching for fans who, like me, cannot get enough Wanda Sykes. That said, this isn't her best special and for me had some of the fewest laugh-out-loud moments. Although I did like her take on the surrealist politics of 2019, she picks low-hanging fruit to riff on and sometimes seems to be pulling jokes out of left field just to fill up the slot. I can't help feeling the opportunity to do a special came first and the jokes came later, whereas it normally feels like Wanda only does a special when she feels she has enough material.
