Casino
Welcomes Wanda
Sykes
Get
ready to laugh 'til your funny
bone hurts when comedian Wanda
Sykes takes over the microphone
at Spotlight 29 Casino
on October 18, 2008.
The
Emmy-winner has been called one
of the funniest stand-up comics,
and Entertainment Weekly calls
her one of the "25 Funniest
People in America." Sykes is
starring along with special guest
Keith Robinson.
Sykes
first began working in stand up
in 1987, and since then has had a
successful career as a comic, a
writer and an actor. In addition
to her TV work, including "The
New Adventures of Old Christine,"
she has appeared in more than a
dozen movies, including "Evan
Almighty," "Monster-in-Law" and
"My Super Ex-Girlfriend," and has
been heard in such animated
features as "Barnyard" and "Over
the Hedge."
She
has been nominated as a performer
and writer for three Emmys and
won as a writer in 1999. In 2001,
she won the American Comedy Award
for Outstanding Female Stand-up
Comic.
Her
standup act is as timely as it is
hilarious. Famously outspoken on
just about every topic, Sykes
recently said, "If you don't
believe in same-sex marriage,
then don't marry someone of the
same sex!"
This
is a return visit to the Palm
Springs area for Sykes. Her 2004
trip was called one of the five
most memorable of the year by the
Desert Sun newspaper. It could
have been her act or her riding a
Cessna down a downtown street
that made it memorable. Either
way, Sykes firmly established
herself as a must-see performer
in the Coachella
Valley.
