Comedian & actress, Sasheer Zamata, has set a new comedy special titled The First Woman, which will be released for purchase via 800 Pound Gorilla on Aug. 15 before arriving on YouTube on Aug. 29.
The First Woman was taped at Union Stage in Washington D.C. Per the logline, the one-hour show sees Zamata discuss “getting scammed by dates, masturbating in cars and being visited by witches in her sleep.”

She also held prominent roles in “Home Economics” on ABC, “Woke” on Hulu and “Robbie” on Comedy Central, with other credits including “The Last OG,” “The Mitchells vs. the Machines,” “Tuca & Bertie,” “Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” and “Waco: The Aftermath.” Zamata’s first comedy special was titled “Pizza Mind,” and in addition to acting and stand-up, she co-hosts the Earwolf podcast “Best Friends” with Nicole Byer.
