EGG w/ Sarah Adelman
February 2 - 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
$25
On Sarah Adelman’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 fertility scientist, Sarah knows better: 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?
This is Sarah’s coming-of-age journey through bat mitzvah humiliation, data-driven dating, the sperm bank porn library, and a surprise meeting with her lab’s HR department that would force her to reckon with whether she’s ready to truly become the EGG.
Sarah Adelman is a New York City-born comedian and former reproductive health research scientist. She performs at venues across New York and has appeared on The Today Show and HBO’s Game Theory. Earlier this year, Sarah was a resident at Ars Nova’s Comedy Artist Makers’ Program, where she developed and premiered EGG. EGG was an official selection of the New York Comedy Festival. Her short film “BUSTED!” will be released in 2025.
