By centering her individual perspective, Sykes injects humor and newfound vigor into conversations that fall flat in a lesser comics’ hands.

What She Said

Gentler than some of the sharp material she’s covered - an hilarious impersonation of Mitch McConnell, using her mic cords, why Black people disapproved of the Jan 6 insurrection and COVID happy place. The woman’s a keen observer and translator.

Rated: 3/4

Tears for the entire thing. Not one joke fell flat and they were all incredible. And I was so, so, so very happy for the return of Esther Roll!!!

One of the funniest things I've seen in years. The bit about the condition of women's bathrooms had me in tears.
