This week, Dr. Jason Powers, Julie DeNofa, and Jamie Demeris are joined by Sarah Tollemache. Recently headlining the Sober Recovery committee's Addicted to Comedy, Sarah Tollemache is a sketch writer who has been a professional comedian for over a decade and is often described as dry, quirky, and hilarious. Starting in Houston, Texas, Sarah quickly made a name for herself when she was named 'Best Local Comedian' by the Houston Press and later was the winner of the prestigious Houston Funniest Contest.

After being featured on consecutive seasons of NBC's 'Last Comic Standing' Sarah took her talents to New York City. Since moving to New York, Sarah has been named one of the Top 20 Female Comics to Follow on Twitter by the Huffington Post. In 2017, she appeared on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, followed by another late-night appearance on the Late Late Show with James Corden. She has also appeared on Comedy Central's Roast Battle.

When she's not touring comedy clubs around the country, she can be seen regularly at the Comedy Cellar and New York Comedy club in New York City. You can also now check out her new special, Voluptuous Boy, on YouTube. Be sure to tune in as Dr. Powers, Julie, Jamie, and Sarah take a deep dive into the beauty of recovery, overcoming guilt and shame, and finding community through comedy.
