Stand-up comedian Becky Robinson has seen her career skyrocket thanks to her viral character, the “Entitled Housewife.” This uninhibited, comedic take on wine-mom and country club culture first gained traction during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to sold-out shows and a dedicated fan base. Robinson’s character is a blend of improvisation and relatable humor, reflecting the quirks of modern suburban life.
In an interview with Fox News Digital in October, Robinson shared the origins of her character, which she created during a moment of creativity at her parents’ home. “I first found the character by improvising, like my parents left the house and I was just like, ‘Scott, where’s the Sauvy B?’” she explained. This playful approach has resonated with audiences, and her character’s antics have been featured in numerous videos, amassing millions of views across social media platforms.
One notable video, posted to YouTube in 2020, depicts the “Entitled Housewife” struggling to back her SUV out of the driveway while berating her imaginary son, Dashiell. “Dashiell, move your f—— wagon! I’m already 15 minutes late to the country club bruncheon!” she shouts, showcasing the character’s over-the-top personality. Robinson’s ability to craft an entire fictional family for the character has added depth to her performances, creating a relatable and humorous universe for fans to enjoy.
Robinson attributes her inspiration to her parents and the unique experiences of the pandemic. Growing up outside of Portland, Oregon, she returned home during the lockdown and observed her parents embracing life despite challenges. “My dad was like, ‘Golf is all we have. This is great,’” she recalled, noting her mother’s newfound health and enthusiasm for socializing. This dynamic fueled Robinson’s creativity, leading her to don a wig and golf attire from her mother’s closet to bring the “Entitled Housewife” to life.
The response to her videos exceeded Robinson’s expectations. “I posted the first video, and it just blew up,” she said, recalling how A-list celebrities began reaching out to her. Notable figures like Chris Pratt expressed interest in collaborating, opening many doors in Robinson’s career. Today, her character has become a beloved figure, co-starring in her ongoing “Member’s Only” tour.
New Comedy Special and Fan Engagement
Robinson recently released her special titled “Entitled,” filmed during the Boston leg of her tour. The special is split into two parts: one featuring Robinson as herself and the other showcasing her character. In the first half, she humorously discusses everyday life, while the second half transforms into a lively performance by the “Entitled Housewife.” “It’s like one big party,” Robinson said, highlighting the energetic atmosphere that has characterized her shows.
Audience participation has also played a significant role in her performances, with fans arriving in costumes resembling the character. “Yes, we’ve got a cult,” Robinson remarked, recalling the enthusiasm of her fans. The engagement has been a hallmark of her shows, fostering a sense of community among attendees.
Robinson’s connection with her audience extends beyond the stage. She is set to host the first annual “Entitled Housewife Classic” golf tournament in Tulum, Mexico, later this month. The event will take place at the prestigious PGA Riviera Maya and is expected to attract over 100 fans. “I want a whole weekend with them,” she expressed, emphasizing her desire to deepen her relationship with supporters.
The tournament promises an entertaining experience, complete with unique features. Robinson has planned for male Chippendales to serve as drink cart drivers, adding a fun twist to the traditional golf experience. “You don’t see that in the game of golf,” she said, highlighting her commitment to creating a memorable event.
As Robinson’s career continues to flourish, her special is currently available on her website, beckyrobinsonthegreat.com.
