Sarah Sherman is Bringing “Freak Sh*t” to HBO and We Are Obsessed
- The Safdie brothers’ strict comedy rules.
- Cutting the boring airplane jokes.
- Sarah’s loud, maximalist visual style.
We just saw Sarah Sherman talking about her new HBO special. It’s called Live + in the Flesh. It sounds totally wild. Josh Safdie and Ronald Bronstein helped produce it. They had one main rule for her.
They told her to cut the normal stuff. No airplane jokes. No RFK Jr. bits. They wanted “freak sh*t only.” That is such a mood. We love a creator who isn’t afraid to get weird. Truly.
The vibe of this special is total maximalism. It’s bright. Loud. Very visual. Sarah has a specific aesthetic that feels like a neon fever dream. It’s not your typical stand-up set. It is an experience for your eyes.
Speaking of big personalities, Ronald Reagan is Heading Back to the Big Screen for July 4th. It’s a different kind of history. But maybe just as loud. We also can’t stop thinking about celebrity drama. Like how Perrie Edwards Finally Opens Up About That Messy Zayn Malik Breakup. Some stories just never get old.
Sarah also talked about the awkwardness at SNL. She even mentioned “bombing like Oppenheimer.” Hilarious. While she deals with the laughs, we are looking forward to some romance. Sharvari & Vedang’s New Movie has us feeling all the love already.
Our Take
Sarah Sherman is the chaos we need right now. Most comedy specials look the same. Dark stage. One stool. Very boring. Sarah’s style is a visual explosion. We think more artists should embrace their inner freak. It is way more fun to watch than another joke about flying on a plane.
