Wanda Sykes brings razor-sharp wit and unapologetic humor to the stage, guaranteeing an unforgettable experience that leaves you laughing long after the curtains close.
Wanda Sykes is an Emmy-winning stand-up comic, writer, actress, and producer who has been entertaining audiences for over twenty years. She has ranked among Entertainment Weekly's “25 Funniest People in America” and her peers have called her “one of the funniest stand-up comics” in the field.
With her first major tour in six years, Fourteen-time Emmy Wanda Sykes is bringing her sharp wit, observational humor, and fearless commentary on the things that matter most to the Main Stage. Upheaving the every day with her irreverent takes, Sykes’ performances are equally thought-provoking and tear-inducing, uproariously funny.
In 2023, Wanda was nominated for three Primetime Emmy Nominations: Two for her Netflix special Wanda Sykes; I’m an Entertainer (her sixth stand-up special ) and another for her role as ‘Gladys Murphy’ in Crank Yankers, a role she originated in 2004. In 2020, she received Emmy nominations for both her role as real-life comic ‘Moms Mabley’ in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and for her voice work as ‘Gladys Murphy’ in Crank Yankers. Wanda’s guest-starring role on ABC’s Black-ish also brought her two back-to-back Emmy nominations for “Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series” in 2017 and 2018. Her fifth standup special, Wanda Sykes: Not Normal is streaming on Netflix and was nominated for two 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards; “Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special” and “Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Special.” The special also received a Broadcast Critic Award nomination. Not to mention her starring roles in fan favorites like The New Adventures of Old Christine, co-starring Julia Louise-Dreyfus, and HBO's critically acclaimed The Chris Rock Show. She has also appeared in Curb Your Enthusiasm, Broady City, House of Lies, and many others.
