Wanda Sykes…
One very funny lady
by Marene Gustin
Photo by Roger Erickson
If you only do one thing this month, make sure it’s going to see Wanda Sykes at the Bayou Music Center. Sykes is one of the funniest people on stage and screen. She’s won an Emmy for her comedy writing and been nominated for six more. She’s also done voiceover work in several animated comedies, appeared in major motion pictures and TV shows (Julia Louis-Dreyfus kissed her on The New Adventures of Old Christine), and even had her own TV show. She was also the first featured African-American woman and LGBT performer at the White House Correspondents Dinner. That was in 2009, and since then this outspoken gal has only gotten funnier. She’s married to her wife, Alex, and they have two twin daughters. If you want to see something really hysterical, Google Wanda Sykes and Ellen DeGeneres and see her crack up Ellen by talking about dealing with her French wife and two white kids.
Or check out her razor-sharp 2005 book Yeah, I Said It where she pulls no punches. She claims she only wrote it for the money, but she uses it to rant on everything from politicians to pro sports, LGBT issues, and black issues—“a black man could never steal as much money as a white executive, because there are just not that many liquor stores in the country.”
Clearly her humor is not for the easily offended, but she is almost always on point, and we think she’s darn funny.
