Comic Becky Robinson: ‘People deserve so much to laugh’
The pandemic was not funny. And yet as comic Becky Robinson looked at the upside-down world around her and saw the endearing ridiculousness of her aging parents’ coping mechanisms, she made things better the best way she knew how: through laughter. Robinson threw on a visor and a golf outfit and personified a character she would develop into a hilarious and biting look at privileged mom culture: the Entitled Housewife.
Entitled Housewife is the predominant character of Robinson’s new “Members Only” tour, which hits the stage Thursday at the Pikes Peak Center and Denver’s Paramount Theater on Friday. But the show includes her physical and fun stand-up, too, with a healthy dose of audience interaction and a few good wigs.
“This is what I’m meant to be doing,” Robinson said. “And people deserve so much to laugh.”

Robinson started out over a decade ago the way many comics do, performing sets in clubs and doing open-mic nights. Her family had always told her she was funny — and being a comedian was her dream — but it wasn’t until college that she embraced her path.
When the pandemic called for laughter as medicine, Robinson produced two comedy variety shows where she debuted her Entitled Housewife character — a visored and out-of-touch mom who is aggressive, critical and ready for 18 holes at all times.
She’s slightly offensive, sometimes vulgar, and often annoyed at her spouse, country club friends, and children Dashiell and Macabee, whom she doesn’t seem too enthused about caring for when she could be brunching and boozing with “the giuerlz.”

Videos of the character went viral, and Robinson spent the next five years traveling and performing. Her shows got bigger and bigger as she moved from clubs to theaters and sold them out, then to venues including The Chicago Theater, which seats 3,600 people.
Robinson also started doing private comedy shows at golf and country clubs — always good when an audience can laugh at itself — and doing appearances by request as Entitled Housewife. She did voice work for characters on animated shows and appeared on programs running on MTV, Hulu and ABC.
Robinson earned a spot in Deadline’s “The Future Of Funny: 15 Comedians To Watch In 2025. And in May, she produced, financed, co-directed and starred in her first special, set to air this fall on Netflix.
But does Robinson feel like she’s made it? “Oh, God, no, no, no,” she said. “Every day I’m like, here we go again, Let’s start fresh.”

Robinson said she’s worked on a ton of new material for her current tour and is excited to bring it to the public, especially in Colorado, where she feels like audiences “just get it.”
She loves when audience members arrive to her shows dressed up as characters she created. “It’s almost like every night is Halloween,” Robinson said. “We get to dress up and act weird.”
But for all the fun and F-bombs, Robinson’s material touches on real and serious issues. What it means to be a woman and a parent in today’s world, for one. “This feels like the most like modern, real-woman (stuff) that I’ve heard,” her fans have told her.
“I just want people to walk out and be like, ‘Yeah, I feel less alone and maybe less crazy’,” Robinson said. “And also loved.”
Maybe that’s why Robinson has had fans approach her who’ve seen the show eight, even 10 times. Everyone just wants to get together for a quality giggle over how absurd life.
“I don’t know how I got so lucky to bring these people together …” Robinson said. “I feel like I’m in such good company.”
