Image Entertainment Inc., a leading independent licensee,
producer and distributor of home entertainment programming in North America,
today announced it has signed an exclusive agreement with comedienne Wanda
Sykes to produce and distribute a live stand-up television special,
DVD and CD.
The DVD was shot live at Seattle's Moore Theatre on April 14-15, which
is the final stop of Sykes' current multi-city tour.
"I am very excited. I picked Seattle after just one visit. The crowd
was hot, smart, appreciative...I hope it wasn't just a fluke," said
Sykes.
The DVD will feature the best moments from the two live performances plus
extras, including behind-the-scenes moments.
"Wanda is a tremendous talent," said Barry Gordon, senior vice
president of worldwide programming for Image Entertainment. "Image
has firmly established itself as a leading producer and distributor of
comedy content, and we are thrilled to be able to add Wanda Sykes to our
comedy family."
Wanda Sykes has been called "one of the funniest stand-up comics"
by her peers and ranks among Entertainment Weekly's 25 Funniest People
in America. Her smart-witted stand up has sent her career in many different
directions. She lends her voice in the upcoming animated feature "Over
the Hedge" and can be seen in the upcoming features "My Super
Ex-Girlfriend" starring Uma Thurman and in "Evan Almighty"
starring Steve Carell. In 2004, the three-time Emmy Award winner produced
and starred in Comedy Central's "Wanda Does It" and wrote her
first book titled "Yeah I Said It" published by Simon and Schuster.
Wanda has been seen in Newline Cinema's "Monster-In-Law," on
HBO's Emmy-nominated "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and Fox's "Wanda
at Large," which she wrote, produced and starred. She can also be
seen on the one-hour Comedy Central special "Wanda Sykes: Tongue
Untied."
