"On Saturday Night Live, Sarah Sherman has played a woman covered in singing meatballs, a Jewish Elvis, and - last week - a drunk raccoon ribbing Colin Jost. But for Squirm-heads, she's in her truest, most delightful form when she's taking us through her own head: talking about some kind of disarmingly nasty body horror, complete with guttural sounds, clad in her famously bright, patterned, clown-adjacent wardrobe."
"Friday, November 28 I wake up at 10 a.m., and like a huge bitch, I force my boyfriend to make coffee at gunpoint (yeah, BOYFRIEND - sorry, ladies!!!). I have two cups before realizing I haven't had any water, so I fill up a Stanley cup and drink the entire thing in one sitting. I don't love Stanley cups, but Bowen gave me a Wicked one he got for being in the movie,"
"In her HBO Max comedy special, Sarah Squirm: Live + In the Flesh, she likens oysters and their snotty slime to discharge. She'd happily trade oysters for her favorite foods-slash-old-lady classics: black licorice and the cereal Grape-Nuts."
Sarah Sherman performs surreal, body-horror comedy on SNL and in an HBO Max special, adopting bright, patterned, clown-adjacent wardrobe and guttural sounds. The HBO Max special likens oysters and their snotty slime to discharge and frames disgust as the driver of gross material. Sherman favors black licorice and Grape-Nuts and compares her appetite to that of an old Jewish woman in Boca who might have thrived in the Great Depression. Sherman recounts waking at 10 a.m., forcing her boyfriend to make coffee, drinking from a Stanley cup Bowen gave her, and experimenting with savory, green English-muffin sandwiches and pita chips made from leftover cashew paste.
