Exhaustingly funny.
Chicago show Feb 1 2019. Her political humor was great. The routines on toilet paper and gyne left me exhausted from laughing. Edgy and funny. ... Read more

Wanda Sykes LOL Fest
Tarrytown Music Hall was an absolute gem! Our balcony seats offered a fantastic view, creating a cozy, intimate vibe. I adore these settings; it feels like the performer is inviting you into their personal space. Wanda's performance had me laughing so hard that I almost needed my inhaler! The audience's love and warmth elevated the experience. Wanda was great, impressive as always, and honestly, nothing surprised me; so
regarding political satire, I'd say if you're bothered by a performer's political stance (usually evident before buying tickets), it's wise to skip the show. Comedy is meant to be just that—a show filled with laughs. I felt entirely comfortable, but in today's political climate, you can't be surprised by jokes from any side. Lighten up people.
About the venue, before you go, please take a look at the area, grab dinner before or after, and make sure you familiarize yourself with the parking situation. ... Read more
