ABOUT THE COMEDIANS

Sarah Adelman is quickly becoming one of New York City's most talked-about writer-performers, whose career skyrocketed from open mics to touring nationally in just a few years.

When she got fired from her research scientist job at a sperm bank for her unapologetically bold comedy about the work, she pivoted and dove headfirst into stand-up, landing herself a highly selective year long residency at Ars Nova Theater’s comedy program. There, she developed and premiered her one-woman show "EGG," hailed as "a charming coming-of-age stand-up show" by New York Times comedy critic Jason Zinoman and selected for the NY Comedy Festival. Her sold out national tour of "EGG" to DC, Seattle, Portland, LA, and Boston will continue in 2025.

Sarah was the creator, writer, and star of "BUSTED!", a proof-of-concept short film/TV series that has screened at the Oscar-qualifying HollyShorts festival in LA and won both the Best Writer Jury Award and the Audience Award at SeriesFest 2025. The jury called her writing “consistently funny with sharp raunchy humor that surprises and engages.”

With a fresh, fearless voice that translates seamlessly across stand-up, screenwriting, and acting, Adelman is one to keep your eye on.

ABOUT BRIGHT IDEAS BREWING

Founded in 2016 on the campus of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, Bright Ideas Brewing started with a simple goal; to provide good beer to museum-goers and North Adams locals alike, creating a common space where the two groups could connect over a beer.

Since then, Bright Ideas has grown and evolved, with every batch of beer aiming to improve on the one that came before. The reach of their beers expanded when they began canning and distributing their beers to local restaurants and package stores around western Massachusetts.

Be sure to also check out their Westfield location, which opened in 2023!
