Stand-up comedian Becky Robinson has gained significant attention with her viral character, the “Entitled Housewife.” This uninhibited, comedic portrayal of wine-mom culture has not only led to sold-out shows but also spurred the creation of a unique fan event: the “Entitled Housewife Classic” golf tournament in Tulum, Mexico.
Robinson’s breakthrough moment came during the COVID-19 pandemic, when she filmed a comedic video that showcased her character’s outrageous antics. She described the process as a “manic episode of improv,” which she shared on social media. The character quickly resonated with audiences, helping Robinson establish a dedicated fan base.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Robinson shared her thoughts on the inspiration behind “Entitled Housewife.” The character emerged from a blend of her experiences and observations during the pandemic, particularly while living with her parents in Oregon. “My dad was like, ‘Golf is all we have. This is great,’” she recalled. Observing her parents, especially her mother, inspired her to don a wig and improvise a character that hilariously critiques country club culture.
One of the early viral videos features the character attempting to back her SUV out of the driveway while berating her imaginary son, Dashiell. The absurdity of the situation, combined with Robinson’s comedic timing, struck a chord with viewers.
As her popularity surged, even A-list celebrities took notice. Robinson mentioned that actors such as Chris Pratt expressed interest in collaborating if her character were to transition into a film. With hundreds of videos and millions of views, “Entitled Housewife” has become a defining aspect of Robinson’s comedic identity.
Robinson’s new comedy special, titled “Entitled,” debuted in late October 2023. The special, filmed during her “Member’s Only” tour, is structured in two parts: one segment featuring Robinson as herself and the other showcasing her popular character. The first half humorously addresses the quirks of modern life, while the second part transforms into an energetic performance by the “Entitled Housewife,” complete with audience participation.
The connection Robinson has forged with her fans is evident in the enthusiastic turnout at her shows. Many audience members arrive dressed in costumes inspired by the character, sporting visors, sunglasses, and skorts. “Yes, we’ve got a cult,” Robinson remarked, acknowledging the community that has developed around her character.
In a bid to deepen this connection, Robinson is hosting her first annual golf tournament in Tulum at the PGA Riviera Maya. The event, scheduled for this month, is expected to attract over 100 fans. “I want a whole weekend with them,” she said, emphasizing the desire for an immersive experience beyond a single night.
The tournament promises various perks, including an entertaining twist with male Chippendales serving as drink cart drivers, adding a unique flair to the traditional golf event.
Robinson’s journey from a pandemic-inspired character to a comedic sensation illustrates the power of social media in shaping careers. Her special is available on her website, beckyrobinsonthegreat.com, and more information about the golf tournament can be found at entitledhousewifeclassic.com.
As Robinson continues to evolve her comedic brand, the “Entitled Housewife” remains a central figure, bringing laughter and a sense of community to her fans.
