Sarah Sherman Facts
- She grew up in Long Island, New York.
- Her nickname “Sarah Squirm” is inspired by a high school nickname.
- While at Northwestern University, she was unable to make it to the improv team and she eventually got inclined towards stand-up comedy.
- Sarah Sherman stayed in Chicago after graduating from Northwestern University and became friends with comedians such as Megan Stalter. Along with Luke Taylor, David Brown, Wyatt Fair, and Scott Egleston, Sarah Sherman also had a monthly show called Helltrap Nightmare.
- She opened for comedian Eric André on his Legalize Everything tour in 2019.
- Sarah Sherman auditioned for the NBC late-night live sketch comedy, political satire, and variety show Saturday Night Live and was later cast as a featured player for the show’s 47th edition, alongside fellow newcomers James Austin Johnson and Aristotle Athari.
- Before she was hired on Saturday Night Live, she struggled with finding work because the hiring managers were usually turned off by her gross-out videos.
- She has earned praise for her work on SNL and Luka Katic of Collider once wrote: “Sherman certainly isn’t the first unconventional comedian to be featured on SNL (i.e. Tim Robinson, Kyle Mooney, etc.). However, what makes her remarkable is her success in spite of that fact. Where actors like Robinson often felt they had to tone down their material for SNL, Sherman finds inventive alternative ways to channel her deranged sensibilities into the show.”
- Her sketch titled “Meatballs” from the Oscar Isaac/Charli XCX episode of the 47th installment of Saturday Night Live has been listed as one of the best of the season by Jesse Hassenger of Vulture who wrote: “In a crowded season, it was especially refreshing to come upon a sketch that feels like such a clear expression of its star’s sensibilities.”
- Along with Idina Menzel, Jackie Sandler, Adam Sandler, Sadie Sandler, Sunny Sandler, Samantha Lorraine, Dylan Hoffman, Dan Bulla, Ido Mosseri, Jackie Hoffman, and Luis Guzmán, Sarah Sherman co-starred as a rabbi named Rebecca in the coming-of-age comedy-drama film You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah in 2023. The film is based on the 2005 young adult novel of the same name and was released by Netflix on August 25, 2023.
- Sarah Sherman provided vocals to the character of Coriander Cavaverish in the animated science fantasy adventure comedy-drama film Nimona in 2023. The film is based on the 2015 graphic novel of the same name by ND Stevenson and is set in a sci-fantasy world influenced by the Middle Ages.
