It's hard to describe in this review the comedic genius of Wanda Sykes. Her pacing, voice inflection, body language, and joke & story-telling are perfect throughout this DVD. Using these skills, Wanda connects with the audience in a personal way that elevates her far above the drivel of your every day comic.
Wanda's political observations are poignant and avoid becoming "cheap shots" by applying universal truths to what she sees. For example, President Bush's "sinister laugh" gets compared to that of a villain in a classic cartoon. And, as Wanda opines, is Condoleezza Rice, our National Security Advisor, sharing more than recipes and neighborhood talk at the beauty parlor? These are only a few of the many, many gems in this DVD. It's not overly-political. She makes plenty of common observations that will propel you into fits of laughter
Decent DVD extras include: an additional comedy show by Wanda Sykes; deleted scenes; and various Comedy Central skits.
Buy this now! You will not be disappointed. And, you will want to share this one with your friends.

I love Wanda! She's funny in this show but I could not enjoy it due to the fact that there are FREQUENT commercial breaks (sans the ads). This is a TV program taped for Comedy Central---NOT a full length comedy performance. Just when I settled in and became really interested they'd have another break. Just fair warning for all you potential buyers....

Wanda is one of the more intelligent comedians around these days. Her take on politics is really the strength of the show. And I loved how she feels the Pope should have reacted to priests molesting children. The joke about a drunk following another drunk home is hilarious! "I saw him drive into a tree and then I thought "Maybe he lives in the woods"" LOL!

Wanda at Her Best
Wanda Sykes is hilarious in everything, but this may be my favorite of her standup specials, though I loved "Sick and Tired" and "I'm'a Be Me".

Netflix suggested this DVD to me. She is so right on, about every day foibles, how people are.

Really Good -
Wanda has it all down perfect - timing, facial expression, and material. It was really great - the only problem is that I wish it had been longer.

Wanda is a lot different on this DVD. She has a great streak of logic and the tongue to tell the world in her own way. Read more
