For a night of comedy that’s anything but ordinary, Becky Robinson is bringing her The Members Only Tour to the Cheyenne Civic Center in September. You may know her best as the “Entitled Housewife," the viral golf character whose antics lit up social feeds in 2020, or from her song Mama Needs a Claw, which you can still catch on streaming and radio. Robinson’s larger-than-life characters and high-energy performances have landed her spots on Netflix, MTV’s Wild ’N Out and voiceover gigs with DreamWorks and Nickelodeon (where she voiced Parker J. Cloud on Middlemost Post). She slips into outrageous characters and even throws in a musical twist. You won't want to miss this show! Tickets are on sale now. Sat, Sept 13th, 8:00 p.m., Cheyenne Civic Center, 510 W 20th St, $37+.
