Wanda Syke's jokes fell flat with some of her fans.
Over a dozen angry audience members walked out or were kicked out of Sykes' show in New Jersey on Thursday for heckling her when she opened with a series of jokes about President Donald Trump.
The liberal comedian began her set at the Count Basie Center for the Arts in Red Bank by making fun of how the public appears to be aging more quickly from stress during Trump's administration. The Asbury Park Press reported that some attendees began heckling Sykes, complaining that she was being political.
"Do some comedy!" one attendee shouted at Skyes, according to the outlet. Another reportedly yelled, "Too political!"
About a dozen attendees walked out and began to argue with one another and staff in the lobby. Attendees who stayed at the show say that it was enjoyable and that attendees should have expected jokes at the president's expense.
"I paid for a comedy show, not for a political venue," Christine Delancey of Old Bridge told the Asbury Park Press.

'I hope Rush’s kidneys fail'
--"comedian" Wanda Sykes, 2009
________________________________________________
Wanda Sykes: “I hope his kidneys fail, how about that? ... He needs a good waterboarding, that’s what he needs.”
Obama joined the crowd in laughing at the crack about Limbaugh’s “kidneys”....”:
People are tired of Trump bashing and want to see actual comedy.
Not if you purchased tickets for wunda-wunda...
If you go to a Wanda Sykes show, you aren’t looking for comedy.
The little I’ve seen of her, she’s not funny at all, at least when she’s trying to be funny.
If they wanted ‘comedy’, they went to the wrong venue................
But none of these people are funny. Politics and smut are their stock in trade.
I am kind of surprised that this happened in New Jersey.
Some other place would have been more believable.
Sykes needs some plugs to combat his receding hairline.
I watched the Dean Martin roast of Ronald Reagan on YouTube a few nights ago. Jonathan Winters and Don Rickles had everyone, including then Governor Reagan bowled over in laughter. Guess what? Not one F bomb or anything close to a swear word was used. Winters and Rickles had a thousand times more talent than this sewer mouthed, no talent comedienne!
I am not a fan of this woman, but was surprised to see she was a writer on the Rosanne revival... given her obvious political bent, was shocked she was involved in something that wasn’t kneeling down and opening wide for left wing nonsense.
I suppose she’s up for some vile leftist 1st amendment “award” like Samantha C*** was.
Agree, but then these audience members should not have gone to see Wanda Sykes. She is a well-known Leftist "comedian."
What idiot would buy a ticket to her show and NOT expect
to hear Trump bashed?
Given that it was Newark I’m surprised someone wasn’t shot.
