Sarah Sherman nicknamed Sarah Squirm

Sarah Sherman was born to a Jewish family and grew up on Long Island, New York. She shared her early background while making an appearance in VICE Magazine. She told,

“My phone number says “Garden City,” and that bothers me. I’m from really Jewish Long Island, and Garden City is really Catholic Long Island, so that’s where I draw the line.”

Her father is a Jewish guilt expert, whom she compares to Adam Sandler’s Howard Ratner in “Uncut Gems.” She once gushed about her father,

“He’s always calling me up on a High Holiday: ‘Did you go to shul?’ I’m like, ‘No.’ And he always says, ‘Just remember, 6 million in the oven, that’s all I’m gonna say.’ That’s Jewish guilt.”

She performs under the stage name Sarah Squirm.

A Chicago-based comic

Sherman spent some of her early time in Chicago’s comedy scene. Sarah had a monthly show called “Helltrap Nightmare” while working as a comic in Chicago. She once told the magazine Rebellious,

“Chicago is an amazing city with amazing stand-up shows, but most shows are the same. I think it’s good for people to go to something that challenges them and what they like while also exposing them to something different,”

In 2016, she was awarded the title of “the best stand-up comedian” by the Chicago Reader.

Besides, she made her broadcast debut in 2018 with her infomercial Flyaway, in which she promotes a skin-ribbing cosmetic technique.

The Comedian, 29, also went on tour with Eric Andre in 2019 as his opening act and performed her sketch “The Sarah Vaccine” on Means TV.

Known for her Surreal and body horror comedy

Sarah’s comic delivery is incredibly body-focused, highly visual, and quite bluntly, revolting. Sherman gushed about her comedian abilities to Rebellious, saying,

“I’m very gross. I was doing stand-up at traditional shows, and then I started doing comedy at a lot of DIY basement noise music shows.”
“There was nothing that married the two. I was yearning for a freaky comedy space. There are freaks everywhere.”
