Wanda Sykes LOL Fest
Tarrytown Music Hall was an absolute gem! Our balcony seats offered a fantastic view, creating a cozy, intimate vibe. I adore these settings; it feels like the performer is inviting you into their personal space. Wanda's performance had me laughing so hard that I almost needed my inhaler! The audience's love and warmth elevated the experience. Wanda was great, impressive as always, and honestly, nothing surprised me; so
regarding political satire, I'd say if you're bothered by a performer's political stance (usually evident before buying tickets), it's wise to skip the show. Comedy is meant to be just that—a show filled with laughs. I felt entirely comfortable, but in today's political climate, you can't be surprised by jokes from any side. Lighten up people.
About the venue, before you go, please take a look at the area, grab dinner before or after, and make sure you familiarize yourself with the parking situation. ... Read more

Been so long that I’ve laughed so hard!
I was expecting funny … but my sides ached and my cheeks hurt. She was beyond chuckle and straight to laugh out loud. There was a space in the middle of the routine where she seemed to struggle to get back in the rhythm. She did way more physical comedy than I’ve seen in the past. Yes, there were bits about politics, race, culture wars, but I expected that. Of course, those parts were aimed at a liberal audience. The majority of her material, though, was just plain hilarious! Surpassed my expectations! ... Read more

Wanda at Chevalier Medford
Saw the show and I thought she was absolutely hilarious! At one point I was crying and I couldn’t breathe from laughing so hard. She talked on some topics people may not have liked but it’s the world we live in today so whatever. I thought she was great. ... Read more
