Friday, Sept. 16: Wanda Sykes

Pantages Theater

By Rev. Adam McKinney on September 15, 2011

Wanda Sykes is one of those people that everyone knows. She's been doing standup comedy since 1987, but many just know her as some indefinable presence in comedy - having spent time as an actress on TV and in movies, as well as a writer for The Chris Rock Show. It's easy to take for granted what a brilliant comedian she is.

Now, more than 20 years into her career as a standup, Sykes' comedy is becoming more personal and confessional.
