Stand-up comedian Becky Robinson has skyrocketed to fame thanks to her viral character, the “Entitled Housewife,” a humorous take on wine-mom culture that resonates widely. The character, developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, has led to sold-out shows and even a fan golf tournament, showcasing the significant impact of Robinson’s comedic style.
In an interview with Fox News Digital in October 2023, Robinson shared the origins of her character, which she describes as an uninhibited, foul-mouthed parody of affluent suburban life. Her journey began with a spontaneous improvisation while at her parents’ home during the pandemic. “I just started yelling at this fake husband kind of how my mom maybe would at my dad if she was upset,” she explained.
Robinson’s initial video in 2020 captured the character trying to escape her driveway to attend a “country club bruncheon.” Clad in a golf visor and oversized sunglasses, she humorously berates her imaginary son, Dashiell, to move his toy wagon, declaring, “I’m already 15 minutes late!” This video marked the beginning of a comedic persona that would engage millions.
As Robinson continued to create content, she built a fictional family around the “Entitled Housewife,” which includes characters like her husband Scott and friends who mirror typical suburban dynamics. “It was that very first day that I started yelling at Scott, at the kids,” she recalled, noting how this created a rich comedic universe.
The character’s popularity exploded, catching the attention of numerous celebrities who reached out to Robinson. She noted, “Chris Pratt was like, ‘I gotta play your husband if you’re gonna make a movie with this,’” underscoring the character’s broad appeal. The success of the “Entitled Housewife” has helped Robinson cultivate a loyal following, with hundreds of videos garnering millions of views.
Robinson’s new special, titled “Entitled,” premiered on her website in late October 2023. It features a blend of her stand-up routines and her character’s antics, split into two parts. The first half presents Robinson as herself, humorously addressing everyday challenges faced by modern women. The second half transforms into a lively performance by the “Entitled Housewife,” complete with a dramatic entrance and an energetic atmosphere.
Audience engagement has been a significant aspect of Robinson’s performances. Many fans have embraced the character’s style, attending shows in visors and skorts. “Yes, we’ve got a cult,” she remarked, recalling how fans first arrived in costume at her shows, adding to the vibrant community surrounding her comedy.
To further connect with her fans, Robinson is hosting the inaugural “Entitled Housewife Classic,” a golf tournament in Tulum, Mexico, later this month. This event aims to bring together over 100 attendees for a weekend of golf and entertainment. “I want a whole weekend with them. A night is not enough,” she stated, highlighting her desire to deepen her relationship with her audience.
The tournament will feature various activities and unique elements, including male Chippendales as drink cart drivers, a departure from traditional golf tournament norms. Robinson is enthusiastic about creating a memorable experience for her fans, blending her comedic flair with the social environment of the event.
Robinson’s special, “Entitled,” is available for viewing on her website, beckyrobinsonthegreat.com, while details about the golf tournament can be found at entitledhousewifeclassic.com. As her career continues to flourish, Becky Robinson’s journey reflects the powerful intersection of humor, social commentary, and community connection in the realm of modern entertainment.
