Wanda Sykes Tickets

Wanda Sykes: one of America's funniest women

Named one of the funniest women in America, Wanda Sykes is a seemingly unstoppable tour de force who will have you laughing until it hurts with her sharp brand of humour. An important voice in political activism and gay rights, she is not afraid of speaking her mind and has claimed thousands of global fans (plus some controversial headlines). Join her in person with Wanda Sykes tickets available to buy or sell on StubHub.

Knife-sharp humour and outspoken activism

Born in Virginia, USA, Wanda Sykes grew up in a perhaps surprisingly conservative, Christian household. After university she began working at the NSA but toured the local comedy circuit in her spare time to hone what would become her unique brand of outspoken, honest stand-up. In the mid-1990s, she opened for Chris Rock and her career in comedy took off - receiving an Emmy as part of the writing team for 'The Chris Rock Show', she also made many appearances on it and began to become a celebrated name in the stand-up industry. From television appearances on sitcoms, talk shows and long-running series 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' to voiceovers and parts in movies like 'Rio' and 'Bad Moms', Wanda Sykes has enjoyed a long and varied career that has seen her become a household name in her native USA and far further afield. While she has always been outspoken, recent years have honed her razor-sharp tongue to become an effective weapon in politics and LGBT activism, earning her sometimes controversial media attention but enabling her to stay true to what she believes in. It's genuinely honest humour that resonates with comedy fans of all ages and means Wanda Sykes tickets are in incredibly high demand.

Reshape the world at Wanda Sykes events

Helping to shape the future of comedy is Wanda Sykes' latest mission: proud to be a lesbian African American (Wanda Skyes and her wife, Alex, are also the mothers of twins), she uses projects like her 'Unprotected Sets' to introduce the world to rising stars who are largely female or of colour, such as Zainab Johnson or Mia Jackson. It's a much-needed shift in dynamic that has given Wanda Sykes legend status in the comedy world - yes, she's capable of cracking a good joke or telling a barbed anecdote, but she is also well aware of the power of her voice and determined to use it to do some good in the world. Wanda Sykes events are thus not just entertaining, but an important way to support the future of comedy and the honest activism that this unflappable comedian lends her talent to. Join her for a riotous evening of putting the world to rights and buy or sell Wanda Sykes tickets on StubHub now.
