Premiered: May 23, 2023

On: Netflix

Starring: Wanda Sykes

With biting political commentary and a focus on the double standards between white and black people in America, Wanda Sykes elevates stand-up in I’m an Entertainer with smart interest in today’s problems.

For her first special post-COVID, Sykes hits on many issues people face like vaccinations, drag queen bans and being black in America. While she goes on tangents with incredible jokes, she always brings it back to the insane politics happening in the U.S. She can’t understand why these things are happening – and as a viewer, you’ll agree while choking back laughter about comparisons of Snuffleupagus to RuPaul.

More than just making you laugh, she makes you think. White privilege is a big topic and she’s able to make clear examples of what she’s faced by having a white wife and children.

Final say: Entertains she does. ★★★★★
