The inimitable Sandra Bernhard returns to Joe's Pub at The Public with her all new show "Feel The Bernhard" for her annual year-end residency, which starts December 26 and leads up to her New Year's Eve spectacle. Performances run nightly from Friday-Tuesday, December 26-30 at 7:30PM and 9:30PM and Wednesday, December 31 at 9:00PM and 11:00PM. Tickets are $65-150 and available at The Public's Box Office (425 Lafayette, NYC).

"Feel the Bernhard" is Sandra Bernhard's latest show. Not unlike Bernie Sanders, Sandy has had it with the 1%. If you're sick and tired of being held down, join the 99%ers for a revolution Sandy style. As The New Yorker wrote "Sandra Bernhard teaches the children-all those burgeoning spoken-word artists and monologists-how to perform observational comedy with style, and right on the political edge".

Performing with Bernhard will be her band The Flawless Zircons, who perform with her at sold out venues in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and all points in between.

Of last year's holiday shows at Joe's Pub, Broadway World wrote "Sandra Bernhard takes no prisoners and pulls no punches. She drops enough F-bombs to blow the city to smithereens. And if those don't do the job, she will set the place afire with her white-hot intelligence. She is authentic, unapologetically pissed, heartbroken, and of course, hilarious."

While, Theater Mania said ""Bernhard knows what her audience wants, and she has them eating out of the palm of her hand from the second she walks onstage. There's no greater joy than watching a masterful comedian feed off her crowd and give it right back to them in the form of an evening that's as hilarious as it is truthful."

In early September, Bernhard also launched her own hugely popular daily show Sandyland on SiriusXM Radio's new Radio Andy channel (102) headed up by Andy Cohen. Her strong opinions and unique perspective, along with her provocative, spontaneous conversations a wide spectrum of guests from the worlds of entertainment and fashion have made Sandyland so successful in just its first three months.

Sandra Bernhard also returned to television this past year, with a recurring role on the hit CBS TV sitcom 2 Broke Girls that aired in the spring. She also guest-starred on episodes of Fox TV's Brooklyn Nine-Nine as the character Gina's "eccentric" and "offbeat" mother, Darlene Linetti.

And, in 2014 guest-starred on ABC Family's original drama series, "Switched at Birth" n a recurring role as Teresa Lubarsky, a groovy art professor at a local college where Bay (Vanessa Marano) is taking classes. The Peabody Award-winning family drama returned for its third season in January, 2014. As most people are aware, from 1991-1996 she played Nancy Bartlett-the first openly gay character on a network sitcom-on Roseanne.
