[ATTENDED: October 31, 2023] Sarah Sherman
After Crooks and Nannies, we waited a few minutes, honestly hoping that JBrekkie would come on stage soon so we could get home early, when out came a a woman in a clown suit. It took us a moment to realize that we recognized her from the Adam Sandler film You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah. She was weird and funny.
Turns out she was a special surprise Halloween guest for this show. Michelle Zauner later said that she didn’t ask to perform, she just came out and insisted on it. Which is pretty funny.
So Sherman started doing her routine.
I have no idea what her stand up is normally like. If this was a typical gig for her, just shortened to twenty minutes. Or if she was trying stuff out or what. But her stand up is deliberately annoying, I believe.
I was annoyed by the guys behind us who kept saying things like “why would you have a stand up comedian come out between bands.” I mean, it’s Halloween it’s supposed to be fun, shut up.
She does a lengthy bit about New York “you know what I’m tawkin’ about.” She repeats that line “you know what I’m tawkin’ about” about forty times. Funny, not funny, then funny, then not funny then funny again. (more…)
