Something that was certainly not a stunt was an incident involving Wanda Sykes – and I’m embarrassed to say it happened in my beloved Boston.  Sykes performed at the 22nd annual Comics Come Home benefit for the Cam Neely Foundation for Cancer Care at the Boston Garden….err, the TD Garden.  Wanda waded into political waters, saying, “I am certain this is not the first time we’ve elected a racist, sexist, homophobic president.”  Kinda edgy, pretty tame for Wanda.   She got quite a few boos, but was definitely not booed off stage.  “I didn’t go anywhere.  I was booed while ON stage in the middle of my set.  Some people in the audience didn’t want to hear my Trump jokes.  Hell, I couldn’t even get to the punch lines.  They were booing the setups.  They were yelling for me to shut the F up and to go F myself, so I simply told them how that made me feel.  I then moved on to other material, got some laughs and said goodnight.  I left the stage with my head held high and with my middle finger even higher,” says Sykes.  Some reporters also mentioned that as she left the stage, a female fan ran up and hugged her.  Sykes clarified that, too.  “Then ‘some woman’, who happens to be my beautiful wife, ran onstage, gave me a huge kiss, and flashed the peace sign.  To my surprise, the audience cheered and applauded.  It was a great moment and it gave me a little hope for our future.  Peace & Love, Wanda”.
