Join the incomparable Wanda Sykes — Emmy Award-winning comedian, writer, actress and producer — for an evening of razor-sharp stand-up, brimming with brilliant observations, quick wit, and perhaps just a touch of etiquette.
For over two decades, Wanda has stood at the forefront of American comedy, celebrated for her fearless honesty, impeccable timing and singular comedic voice. Named one of Entertainment Weekly’s ‘25 Funniest People in America’, she’s an icon of both stage and screen, effortlessly bridging laugh-out-loud humour with cutting social commentary.
Wanda’s body of work speaks volumes: from her Emmy Award-winning writing on The Chris Rock Show to scene-stealing turns in television hits such as Black-ish and Curb Your Enthusiasm, and her portrayal of the pioneering comic Moms Mabley in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Most recently, she earned critical acclaim for her sixth Netflix stand-up special, Wanda Sykes: I’m an Entertainer — a tour-de-force performance that garnered two Emmy nominations and reaffirmed her place as one of comedy’s true masters.
Whether dissecting politics, family dynamics, or the oddities of everyday life, Wanda brings her signature blend of sass, smarts, and satire to every punchline.
Expect an evening of bold, brilliant comedy from one of the funniest and most original voices in the business.
