Sandra Bernhard

Comedian, singer, actress and author

For 25 years, Sandra Bernhard has been challenging fans and critics with her knife-edged humor, satire and emotive performances on film, television and stage. Though largely famous for her comedic talent and biting social commentary, Bernhard’s background in music bears respectable weight. Musical performances include “An Evening with Sandra Bernhard,” “Stormy Weather Benefit '98,” organized by Don Henley, which also featured Stevie Nicks and Joni Mitchell, as well as “The Elton John Tribute for Broadway Cares.” Her critically acclaimed 1998, one-woman Broadway hit, “I’m Still Here...Damn It!” which played the Booth Theater, had critics raving. In 2001, Bernhard hosted her own talk show, “The Sandra Bernhard Experience” for A&E television. Along with writing for performance, Bernhard has put her musings into book form, and is now working on her fourth edition. Currently, she is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her award winning production, "Without You I'm Nothing" with an international tour. The groundbreaking show was a massive success worldwide, and served as inspiration for the critically acclaimed film and Grammy nominated album of the same name.
