I realize comedians take jabs as politicians all the time. And I'm not even saying that Wanda's comments about Trump were unforgivably outrageous. But when she realized that the audience didn't like her comments, I really think she should have just moved on to the next joke, instead of spewing such vile, hateful comments at her audience members. I'd be furious if I had spent money to be entertained with comedy, but instead was treated the way she treated her audience.

It's an artistic performance (yes, even for this loon).

Words are words. Vote with your wallet.

Im talking about the fact that if you don't like a private performance just get up and leave.

Then again, if folks are dumb enough to pay to be "entertained" by this loon they probably didn't know that.

I'm usually amused when late night TV hosts go off on political rants. It's free and I can grab the remote. But I'll be damned if I'll pay money to see a moronic comedian make political jabs.

I guess she is showing her true colours . It would have been all fun and games as long as the audience played along with her but when they didn't watch out for the heat!

Sykes needs to work on her comebacks instead of reacting like an angry idiot.

She is a comedian Trump is not but he is funnier. I remember one time when he was getting heckled at a rally and he responded to the guy with something like this "Look folks he didn't get upset until I started talking about limiting food stamps" the guy was way overweight.
If you are going to heckle you will become a target for a clever comedian. Sykes is not one of those.

Why is this any different from people like Milo Y. when he speaks to a crowd that disagrees ?

Oh, i know, it is because it only works if you agree with the speaker.

It was not. She was not "performing" her act. She was giving a monologue about Trump. This is the same as paying to see Bruce Springsteen and him stopping the concert to bloviate about politics. People don't pay hundreds of dollars to hear what a singer has to say about anything. If he put his views to a song like Adam Sandler, maybe I would give him a pass.

It's an artistic performance. The artist will do what they want.

I sat thru many Pearl Jam concerts in the Bush era where Eddie Vedder used the microphone to blast Dubya.

I knew it was a possibility, even a likelihood, and still made the choice to go.

He cut it out for the most part after getting booed.
