BENEFITING THE LAFD FOUNDATION

Sarah Adelman is a research scientist by day and stand-up comedian by night. Her one-hour solo show EGG is a hilarious and heartfelt coming-of-age journey through bat mitzvah humiliation, data-driven dating, and the sperm bank porn library… all culminating in the earth-shattering clash of her two worlds.

On Sarah’s first day working at the sperm bank, she stares through her microscope into a petri dish full of semen and is shocked by how much the little wiggly sperms remind her of herself—intense, frantic, and desperate to be seen.

It’s a common misconception that the strongest sperm wins the race to the egg. As a research scientist, Sarah knows better: on a chemical level, it’s the egg that chooses the sperm. This fact forces her to examine whether her choices have led her to the life that she actually wants. If she behaved more like the egg, confident and patient, rather than like the sperm, endlessly searching for approval, could she find a happier life?

Sarah begins to turn her world upside down in an effort to test her hypothesis. But when her lab’s HR department finds evidence of her burgeoning stand-up comedy career (and it seems like they’re not into jizz jokes), she’s forced to reckon with whether she’s ready to truly embody the EGG.

EGG is directed by Lucille Lortel award winner and Curb Your Enthusiasm actress Iris Bahr.

**HISTORY OF THE SHOW: **

EGG was developed during the prestigious Ars Nova comedy residency, which Sarah Adelman participated in for the 2023-2024 season. EGG premiered at the off-Broadway Ars Nova theater in June of 2024, as well as a three-night run at Under St Marks theater in August and Washington DC in October. All five shows have sold out. In addition to Lyric Hyperion, EGG is also touring to Boston, Philly, New Hampshire, Denver, and Miami. EGG is an official selection of the 2024 New York Comedy Festival.
