Wanda Sykes has been keeping it real since first making waves in the comedy scene as a writer on The Chris Rock Show, for which she won an Emmy award. Since then, she’s made side-splitting appearances on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Black-ish and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, to name a few. She’s still in-demand as a comedy actress and writer. Netflix sitcom The Upshaws, which she co-created and stars in, is set to release its fifth season later this month. Sykes is fiercely original and unafraid of touching on taboo topics, and audiences appreciate her authenticity with uproarious laughter. Visit bardavon.org for tickets and info.
