Sara Fran

Interdisciplinary writer, comedian, artist-about-town

Hi, I’m Sara. Glad to have you here!

I write and perform standup and character sketches.
I also write satire, fiction, and the odd poem (a strange poem written occasionally).

At heart, I’m a storyteller. At brain, I’m halfway down a rabbit hole, chasing an idea or character. At knee, I’m always wanting to dance. (Unless I’m sleepy. I adore the idea of sleep.)

My humor writing has appeared in magazines like McSweeney’s,Slackjaw, Points in Case, and others. From 2022-2023, I was a Fellow at The Center for Fiction / Susan Kamil Emerging Writer Fellowship in Brooklyn, NY, focusing on tragicomic autofiction and mythological satire.

I studied comedy writing and performance at Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB), Second City, and Brooklyn Comedy Collective, including intensives in improv, sketch, character, and clown.

I’ve performed standup and character sets at independent venues like Caveat and Eris in New York City. I’ve also performed music, sound, comic lit, and character bits at independent galleries, bookstores, and comedy theaters, including Pianofight in San Francisco (RIP).

I’m bringing my debut standup hour, Time Snatch, to Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer, 2026.

Let’s collab!

I’m open to writing, standup, satire reading, and character acting opportunities.

I’m also offering one-on-one virtual feedback and coaching sessions for people seeking to improve their writing or performance work.

I’ve taken down Tik Tok (see: news) and Twitter (I will not be calling it X), but you can still find me here for now:

More about me

(if you really wanna know, or whatever…)

I’m interested in shining a light on the unseen and throwing obstacles in the oppressor’s way. This does not prevent me from tripping over myself in the dark.

I love old trees, and slow reading, and fast drums. I love talking to no one before 5pm — not a word — and then rejoining society with zest. I have ADHD, so I subsist on spontaneous walks, side-quests, and novelty. Naturally, I love a character. I have chronic migraines and endometriosis and turn into The Grinch during a flare-up. (I also subsist on spoons and energy work.)

TL;DR: I’m playful and curious and furious and cynical and tired and hopeful and trying anyway. Love and hijinks are everywhere.

I live in beautiful Brooklyn, New York with my #1 bud, Punky (he’s a cat).
