HBO Sets December Debut for Sarah Sherman's First Special, 'Sarah Squirm: Live + In the Flesh'

The hour spotlights her 'Sarah Squirm' persona in a graphic, transgressive set directed by Cody Critcheloe.

Overview

  • The special will air on HBO in December and stream on HBO Max, with the exact premiere date to be announced.
  • It was filmed earlier this year at The Bell House in Brooklyn.
  • HBO bills the show as “a festering hour of bodily fluids, open-wound confessionals, and jokes that will leave skid marks on your soul,” and Sherman cautions, “don’t watch while eating.”
  • Executive producers include Sherman and Lorne Michaels for Broadway Video alongside partners from Central, Rotten Science, and Jack Bensinger, with direction by Cody Critcheloe.
  • Sherman returns to Saturday Night Live for her fifth season and continues film work tied to Adam Sandler, including the upcoming Netflix project Roommates after opening for him at Madison Square Garden.
