One of the most lovable WNBA players around is making a career change…well at least for one night.
It was announced today (July 10th) that Indiana Fever point guard Sydney Colson will make her stand-up comedy debut, as opening act for the inaugural Fever Fest, taking place Saturday, July 19th at All-Star Weekend. Known as one of the most charismatic and vibrant personalities in the league, Sydney will perform original stand-up material live on stage for the first time.
Sydney has always been a winner. She played basketball at Texas A&M University, where she helped the Aggies win the 2011 NCAA title. After a roller coaster journey in which she played for the New York Liberty, the San Antonio Stars, the Minnesota Lynx, and Chicago Sky (plus overseas in Poland and Israel), she ended up on the Las Vegas Aces. She was a key contributor to the team winning back-to-back titles in 2022 and 2023. In the same fashion, Syd looks to continue being successful in another new lane at Fever Fest.
Check out Syd’s teammate’s reactions to the surprise announcement below:
Hosted by comedy legend Deon Cole, Fever Fest will feature a star studded lineup including a headlining performance by Grammy nominated, multi-platinum chart-topping global superstar The Kid LAROI, comedy stars Cedric the Entertainer, Leslie Jones and Aida Rodriguez, plus music sets by chart-topping artists G-Eazy and BIA.
Hartbeat and Pacers Sports & Entertainment launched the first-of-its-kind music and comedy festival. What better time is there to do so than during the always exciting WNBA All-Star Weekend? The electric lineup will bring fans live performances and appearances by comedy heavyweights, adding even more to the action-packed weekend. It will conclude with a special WNBA All Star watch party for attendees.
