The incredible Wanda Sykes brings her Emmy award winning brand of humor to the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall for the first time on November 16 at 7pm. Making her presence known in just about every form of media possible, Wanda has amassed a body of work that has solidified her as an A-Lister of comedy.
