Wanda Sykes started performing as a college student. His close friends teased him into performing. He was booed off that first time and felt a great rush. He sought every opportunity to perform afterward. Wanda Sykes wanted to be a comedian since he saw Richard Lewis on television.

Wanda Sykes’s plate was almost too full after the success of his first comedy record. He had to balance promotional tours of the album and shooting for movies. Wanda Sykes was discovered while opening at Demonstrator, a comedy club, after he had the entire crowd roaring in laughter and he blew away the headliner. Finally reaching the big time, he was headlining weekend show at major clubs all over the country.

He already has three movies lined up after this tour is finished. Wanda Sykes's most current project has been three years in the making.

Wanda Sykes has nothing but respect for Richard Pryor and hopes to meet him one day. TheSeats.com is the one stop shop for the band, with Wanda Sykes tickets, concert seating charts, and touring schedule.
