Wanda Sykes



There are some very bright and funny stand up comedians in America at the moment. In my view Wanda Sykes is both the most intelligent and also the host humorous. She is an Emmy Award winning entertainer. I just looked in the thesaurus: She is witty, amusing, entertaining, hilarious, and riotous. All are good words to describe Wanda Sykes.

I especially like the last word: Riotous.

In a slightly different context this can also mean mutinous. And she certainly is. She is the lady who at the White House Press Correspondents roast she likened Rush Limbaugh to Osama Bin Laden and the fanatics who perpetrated 911. And since the drug dependent entertainer Limbaugh has openly been calling for America and President Obama to fail, Wanda Sykes said, “I hope his kidneys fail.”

Wanda Sykes was married to David Hall for 7 years. The seven year itch, just like my final marriage. Since her divorce she has entered into a same sex marriage with her wife Alex.

Wanda Sykes is wonderful. And her DVD is truly outstanding.

For her fans, her biography is worth perusing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanda_Sykes
