Sarah Sherman sits down with Backstage to talk about her journey from underground comedy to “Saturday Night Live,” and how the fast-paced environment of the show reshaped her approach to standup. She explains how “SNL” taught her to write sharper jokes, let go of material that isn’t working, and collaborate in ways that elevate performance. Sherman also opens up about navigating rejection, embracing unconventional comedy, and building a voice that doesn’t fit the traditional mold. Plus, she breaks down her creative process, working with high-profile hosts, and what actors can learn about taking risks, trusting their instincts, and staying adaptable in live performance.
