Wanda Knocks 'Em Outta the Park!
2 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Wanda Sykes is at the top of her game, confirming she is one of the funniest women comedians OF ALL TIME!

Throughout the hour-long show, Wanda knocks 'em out of the park as regularly as Aaron Judge did for the Yankees in 2022. For example, when telling the story of her 13-year-old daughter who invites her gay male friend over for a sleepover, Wanda tells the boy that it's okay that he's gay...but he better still be gay when he wakes up in the morning!

Nobody delivers lines funnier than Wanda, with her Black twang, and she adds a surprising level of physical comedy to this routine, at one point dropping on the stage and doing a double rollover in a bit about her wife entering a store that was seconds a way from closing. The audience erupts in laughter at this and dozens of other big moments. Another great bit is when she talks about her lazy kids asking if they can eat breakfast before bed so that they can sleep in. That's just gold!

The only thing that may make some viewers cringe is that Wanda gets very political through much of the the show. Unless you're an all-in Democrat, like Wanda is (and which the majority of the country is not, according to the latest polls), you may not be on her side completely from start to finish. But politics aside, she's pretty damn funny!
