Emmy Award-nominated actress and 30-year comedy veteran, Wanda Sykes, delivers a sharp-witted and hilarious critique on the state of the world in her first Netflix comedy special, Wanda Sykes: Not Normal. The one-hour special addresses the comedian's perspective on the current political and cultural climate, which she can only describe as, well ... not normal!

As Sykes gets worked up about a subject, she can be ferocious.

Sydney Morning Herald

The humour is thoughtful, but the physical comedy is brilliant too, not least when Sykes is opining that Tiffany Trump probably doesn't need a secret service detail and could get by with a mall cop on a Segway scooter instead.

As a whole, the special would be stronger if there were more sequences with that kind of multilayered thoughtfulness. But Not Normal has plenty of moments that stand out on their own, more than justifying the few bits that feel a little thin.

American life felt pretty weird last spring when Wanda Sykes decided to call her latest Netflix special Not Normal. Now it is seriously far from normal. With that in mind, there's almost something reassuring about Sykes' comic takes...

Do yourself a favor and catch this amazing one-hour stand-up routine. The woman is a treasure and not to be missed.

LOVE Wanda Sykes and this special is so good. The topical humor holds up even now, 3 years later.
