If you like your comedy sugar-coated, you should stay home and watch a Full House marathon, because Wanda Sykes will be live at the Fillmore and she’ll surely bring a bag full of decidedly un-PC jokes with her. How can we be so sure? She recently ripped on President Obama’s constant nipple-flashing and Rush Limbaugh’s drug addiction at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, causing the audience of celebs, journos, and political luminaries to laugh, gasp, and cringe throughout her performance. If Sykes could do that in less than 15 minutes and in front of the leader of the free world, imagine the hell she’ll bring for more than an hour in front of a bunch of saps from the M I yay-o. For just $37.50, you can see for yourself.
