Sandra Bernhard Heads Coast-to-Coast With 'Spring Affair'

Performer, actress, singer and author Sandra Bernhard heads out to venues throughout the country with her band this summer with her new show "Spring Affair," beginning with dates at City Winery locations in New York City (May 30) and Boston (June 2). In addition, she will be appearing in Red Bank, NJ (June 4), San Francisco (June 22 – 24), Provincetown (July 28) and Minneapolis (August 12). For more on these dates, visit her website.

"If you're ready for long sunny days, a delicious aperitif, a breezy stroll down the Champs Elysees, lounging on the beach of Ipanema, or a brief interlude with some mysterious international playboy, then you are ready for a 'Spring Affair,' and no one does it better than Sandy Bernhard," reads her press release.

Sandra Bernhard also co-starred on season eleven of the hugely popular FX Television/Ryan Murphy series "American Horror Story," with this most recent installation called "American Horror Story NYC," filmed in New York City.

She also appeared as a series regular in season three of the very successful FX Television/Ryan Murphy show "POSE" reprising her role as brassy but caring Nurse Judy Kubrak, who works with H.I.V./AIDS patients, following a memorable season one guest appearance and equally popular second season. She also previously did a special guest appearance on "American Horror Story: Apocalypse," highlighting a successful, decades long television career.

Sandra is also currently in her eighth year hosting her weekly radio show Sandyland on SiriusXM's Radio Andy channel 102, for which she won a broadcasting Gracie Award. The Huffington Post wrote: "It's hard to describe, much in the same way it's hard to put words to a brilliant jazz artist's improvisations. She simply took the conversation places that were at once and enlightening, provocative and intimate. Her strong opinions and unique perspective, along with her provocative, spontaneous conversations with a wide spectrum of guests from the worlds of entertainment and fashion have made 'Sandyland' so successful."

Her live performances continue to get rave reviews from the press/media with her live performances. "As always, Bernhard's comedy is ripe and the music is vibrant, with her observational comedy and masterful one-liners. Her songs range from classic pop music to jazz and blues; her rendition of 'Summertime' from 'Porgy and Bess' brought down the house! She looks fabulous and is a walking dynamo who's been headlining during the holidays at Joe's Pub to a smash turn out for the last ten years," writes Theater Pizzazz.

Variety said: "What makes Bernhard's comedy so rare – whether she's philosophizing about Taylor Swift's squad or singing Dolly Parton's 'Hard Candy Christmas' as imagined by Caitlyn Jenner – is that within every keenly observed pop-culture rant, there's an element of piercing truth. Bernhard remains as brash and brazen as she was in the 1970s."

And The Daily Beast proclaimed: "The show makes one wonder what to make of Bernhard's distinctive place in the entertainment firmament. She is a show business stalwart of over three decades. Bernhard has evolved into a pop culture fixture, a jack-of-all-trades performer as actress, singer, comedian, and, more recently, a radio show host of SiriusXM's Sandyland."

Just before the pandemic she celebrated the 10 year anniversary of her iconic annual holiday shows at Joe's Pub in New York City, while she also continues to tour throughout the country and overseas. Extremely notable past live stage shows, which she has performed both on and off-Broadway, include "Without You I'm Nothing," "I'm Still Here, Dammit," "Everything Bad and Beautiful," and "#blessed."

Bernhard's film credits include "The King of Comedy," for which she was awarded Best Supporting Actress by the National Society of Film Critics, "Track 29," "Hudson Hawk," "Dinner Rush," and the live performance film "Without You I'm Nothing." Past television credits include "Two Broke Girls," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "Broad City," "Difficult People," "You're the Worst," "The New Adventures of Old Christine," "Will &Grace," "The Sopranos," and "Roseanne."

Music albums include "I'm Your Woman" (Polygram, 1986), "Excuses for Bad Behavior" (Epic, 1994), and the world music album "Whatever It Takes" (Mi5, 2009). She has written three books: "May I Kiss You on the Lips, Miss Sandra?," "Confessions of a Pretty Lady," and "Love, Love and Love."
