Wanda Sykes: Tongue Untied (2003)

I've never been a big fan of Wanda's "ghet-to" diction though she apparently makes it work for her just as Ah-nuld has with his Austrian accent. She's clearly a professional and well-practiced comic with a sense of entitlement to the stage. She takes her time but it's like having a living-room conversation with her audience. She starts out with some pretty tart and (to put it nicely) sassy things to say about Bush and Cheney that by now are a bit dated (though still applicable and relevant). The rest of her patter is common-sense comedic commentary on things like Florida strip clubs, how women think all the time and men don't, and other issues of sexual rather than national politics. It was fairly funny fare though her normally glib tongue tripped up once and the audience wasn't always tracking right with her. 3.5 stars.
