Sasheer Zamata Performs Stand Up on the Late Show
Sasheer Zamata made her network stand up debut this week on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The crowd went crazy for the beloved former Saturday Night Live cast member, and Sasheer soaked it all in.
She says there’s one demographic that consistently butchers her name, and not just the pronunciation. She also talks about why she went camping recently, and why she never plans to do it again.
Raised in Indiana, the comedian, actress and writer moved to NY and has been performing at UCB since 2009, and spent four seasons as an SNL castmember. You’ve also seen her and heard her on This American Life, Transparent, People of Earth, At Home with Amy Sedaris and Inside Amy Schumer as well as I Feel Pretty, The Outdoorsman, Yoga Hosers, Sleight, and Deidra & Laney Rob a Train. She’s been listed in Time Out New York’s Top 10 Funniest Women in NYC, Brooklyn Magazine’s 50 Funniest People in Brooklyn, and Complex Magazine’s Women in Comedy You Should Be Paying Attention to Right Now.
She serves as ACLU’s Celebrity Ambassador for Women’s Rights. She hosts a variety show called Sasheer Zamata Party Time, and you can watch her standup special Pizza Mind on Amazon Prime and Starz, and listen to it on iTunes and Spotify.
