Sara Benincasa

Sara Benincasa is a comedian, writer and radio talk show host. Her outspoken, sexually charged comedy has won praise from the Chicago Tribune, CNN, The Guardian, and The New York Times. She has also won an ECNY (Emerging Comedian of New York) Award and a Webby nomination. Sara is the host of "Get in Bed" on Cosmo radio, the world's #1 brand for women, every weeknight at 8PM ET  (Sirius 111/XM 162). She was a citizen journalist for the 2008 MTV "Choose or Lose" street team, part of MTV's Emmy Award-winning "Think" campaign. Sara was also the host of Nerve.com's "Tub Talk with Sara B," a show she has revamped into "Gettin' Wet with Sara Benincasa," a web series in which she interviews artists in her bathtub. Sara is a regular performer at The PIT, where she has developed her one-woman show, "AGORAFABULOUS." Based on her experience with panic attacks, “AGORAFABULOUS” combines the sharp hilarity that's made Sara a hit on the web with the nutty magnetism that's made her a rising star in New York's alternative-comedy scene. Sara has taken “AGORAFABULOUS” to theaters across the country and to LAFF, WICF, Sketchfest, and the Norwegian Storytelling Festival in Oslo. Sara is currently writing a book based on her critically acclaimed solo show, for William Morrow (a division of Harper Collins).
