HBO Original Comedy Special “Sarah Squirm: Live + In The Flesh” Debuts This December

Sarah Sherman’s unholy alter ego, Sarah Squirm, slithers onto your screen this December with her first stand-up special, SARAH SQUIRM: LIVE + IN THE FLESH, debuting on HBO and streaming on HBO Max. After four seasons (and counting) on “Saturday Night Live,” Sherman rips off the straitjacket, unleashing a festering hour of bodily fluids, open-wound confessionals, and jokes that will leave skid marks on your soul. The special taped at The Bell House in Brooklyn, New York earlier this year.

Sarah Sherman, star and executive producer, quote: “Word to the wise – don’t watch while eating.”

Nina Rosenstein, EVP, HBO Programming, Late Night & Specials, quote: “If a special could feel like plugging directly into a live wire – this is definitely it! Sarah’s first special is so distinctly her own. She’s hysterically funny, wildly creative and has a kind of fearless audacity that makes this special truly unforgettable.”
