Wanda Sykes (screen capture)Out standup comedian Wanda Sykes (Black-ish, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Q-Force) dropped her new Netflix comedy special, I’m An Entertainer, this week.
Official description: “From the challenges of raising Gen Z teens to the dilemmas of being a liberal in a hyper charged political climate, Sykes, renowned for her social commentary, delivers her insightful and ferocious wit and candor audiences have come to know and love.”
Mocking the haters who whine about kids seeing drag queen perform: “You know, I can’t tell you how many drag shows I’ve been to where they ran out of high chairs and booster seats.”
Clapping back on being called a “woke” comedian: “If you want to give me the label of a ‘woke comic,’ that’s fine. That’s great. What makes me laugh is that they say that like it’s an insult: ‘Oh, they’re woke.” Thank you!'”
“It’s almost like they’re angry that we’re evolving. It’s sad, really.”
Available for streaming now on Netflix. Catch the trailer below.
