COMEDY SHOW REVUE: Wanda Sykes is Fabulous and Funny, but not Family-Friendly

For some reason, George Mason University invited Wanda Sykes to entertain at the Patriot Center during Families Weekend. She was born in Virginia and raised in Maryland and it is nice to welcome people back to their hometowns, but her show does not exactly top the list for a teen deciding what to do with Dad or Aunt Karen on a Saturday night. I was not the only person perplexed by this decision; Sykes herself stated that she didn’t know “what they were thinking” bringing her “foul-mouthed ass” to the stage. But her performance proved that the university made an excellent choice.
