Sandra Bernhard has been a performer, actress, singer and author for nearly five decades in the industry. In 2025, this “OG” comedy queen can be seen on the big screen in the A24 feature film, Marty Supreme alongside Timothée Chalamet and directed by Josh Safdie. On the smaller screen, she starred in season two of the critically acclaimed AppleTV+ series, Severance, after dazzling audiences as a guest judge on the hugely popular, RuPaul’s Drag Race (MTV). Other roles of note include Survival of the Thickest (Netflix) opposite Michelle Buteau and the triumphant book-to-screen adaptation, Percy Jackson and the Olympians (Disney +), where she played one of the Gray Sisters alongside Margaret Cho and Kristen Schaal.
Past television credits include Ryan Murphy’s series American Horror Story and the Emmy Award winning POSE Broad City, Difficult People, 2 Broke Girls, Brooklyn 99, You’re the Worst, Will & Grace, The Sopranos, and Roseanne. Bernhard’s most notable film credit in Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy opposite Robert De Niro, won her Best Supporting Actress by the National Society of Film Critics.
Bernhard gained attention in the late ‘70s with her stand-up comedy and continues today with live stage performances throughout the U.S. and overseas. A pioneer of the one-woman show, Bernhard brings a completely unique and raucous mix of cabaret, stand-up, rock-n-roll, and social commentary.
She is currently in her ninth year hosting her weekly radio show “Sandyland” on SiriusXM, for which she won a broadcasting Gracie Award.
