Stand-up comedian Becky Robinson has rapidly gained recognition for her viral character, “Entitled Housewife,” which has propelled her to sold-out shows and a unique fan golf tournament. The “Entitled Housewife,” a brash and humorous take on wine-mom culture, first captured audience attention during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks to a spontaneous improv video Robinson created and shared on social media.
In an interview with Fox News Digital in October, Robinson discussed the origins of her character, which she described as an uninhibited parody of country club life. Drawing inspiration from her parents and the peculiarities of life under lockdown, Robinson crafted her comedic persona during a time when laughter was scarce. She recalled, “I put a wig on, and I went in their closet and I found a skort and a polo and a visor,” before launching into her character’s antics.
From Improv to Icon
The character’s breakout moment came with a 2020 YouTube video where she humorously portrayed a frantic mother late for a “country club bruncheon.” In the clip, she yells at her imaginary son, Dashiell, to move his toy wagon, showcasing her knack for blending relatable family dynamics with exaggerated humor. The video quickly amassed views and attracted attention from notable celebrities, including Chris Pratt and Wendy McClendon-Covey, both of whom expressed interest in collaborating with Robinson.
Robinson’s character quickly evolved, resulting in hundreds of videos and millions of views. The “Entitled Housewife” has become a central figure in her ongoing “Member’s Only” tour. Her latest special, titled “Entitled,” premiered on her website in late October, featuring a blend of her stand-up performance and the character’s signature flair. The special was filmed during a tour stop in Boston and is divided into two parts, showcasing both Robinson’s personal comedy and her vibrant character.
A Unique Connection with Fans
Robinson’s engagement with her audience has led to a devoted fanbase that often dresses in homage to her character during shows. She noted that early in her tour, fans arrived wearing visors and tennis skorts, fully embracing the spirit of “Entitled Housewife.” This connection has inspired Robinson to host her first annual golf tournament, the “Entitled Housewife Classic,” in Tulum, Mexico, later this month.
The tournament will take place at the prestigious PGA Riviera Maya, where Robinson plans to host over 100 fans for a weekend filled with golf and entertainment. “I want a whole weekend with them. A night is not enough,” she emphasized, indicating her commitment to deepening her relationship with her followers. The event promises additional perks, including the presence of male Chippendales as drink cart drivers, adding a playful twist to the traditional golf experience.
Robinson’s journey from a spontaneous video creator to a celebrated comedian is a testament to her creativity and the power of social media in shaping modern entertainment. Her special “Entitled” is available on her website, beckyrobinsonthegreat.com, and more information about the golf tournament can be found at entitledhousewifeclassic.com.
