Sarah Sherman’s Willing Participation in Gwar Performance
Comedian Sarah Sherman, known for her body horror-inspired stand-up before joining the cast of Saturday Night Live, recently participated in a theatrical onstage “sacrifice” during a Gwar concert in New York City. The performance, characteristic of Gwar’s over-the-top, gore-filled shows, involved a band member simulating a sword attack on Sherman’s neck, accompanied by copious amounts of fake blood.
Sherman’s participation was entirely voluntary, adding a layer of performance art to Gwar’s established aesthetic. Fans anticipating Saturday Night Live‘s return after Thanksgiving break can expect Sherman to be back in action.

Beyond the stage show, Gwar is actively supporting public media through an auction benefiting the public Media Bridge Fund. The band, known for its advocacy of public broadcasting, has donated a signed bidet – autographed by Blöthar, one of Gwar’s central characters – for bidding. you can view and bid on the item at the auction website.
The auction features a diverse range of items, including a leather jockstrap previously worn by actor Russell Crowe during the filming of Cinderella Man and a large bronze sculpture of a scrotum, demonstrating the eclectic nature of the fundraising effort.
