Item Description

Comedian Sara Benincasa will write a personalized poem about how the winning bidder is the sexiest feminist person of all time. The winner will be required to fill out a short, exciting questionnaire about his or her favorite things and personal characteristics. The resulting poem will be free verse and will be presented in handwritten form amidst a delightful handmade collage consisting of shit she found in her apartment. It's a poem AND it's Outsider Art (TM)!

Sara Benincasa is a comedian, writer and radio talk show host. She was a citizen journalist for the 2008 MTV Choose or Lose Street Team, part of MTV’s 2008 Emmy Award-winning Think campaign. Her political blog and video news reports can be found on MTV’s social justice and activism website, ThinkMTV. During the election, she created original web video content for the Huffington Post's humor site, 23/6, a series for which she won an ECNY Award and was nominated for a Webby for best performance, alongside Isabella Rosellini.

Sara hosted Nerve.com’s hit "Tub Talk with Sara B.," a notorious web talk show in which she interviewed comedians and humor writers in her bathtub. Guests included humorist Andy Borowitz (BorowitzReport.com), current SNL writer John Mulaney, 2007 Andy Kauffman Award winning comedian Reggie Watts, author Jonathan Ames, and a variety of other funny/smart/weird people. She has since revamped the show into the web series "Gettin' Wet with Sara Benincasa", and has interviewed guests such as Margaret Cho, Donald Glover, Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman.

Currently, Sara co-hosts "Get in Bed," a hilarious sex-chat show on Cosmo radio (Sirius 111/XM 162) every weeknight from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m ET. She frequently appears on other Sirius XM channels, as well.

"Family Hour with Auntie Sara," her critically acclaimed live show, packs the house downstairs at Comix in NYC’s Meatpacking District on the final Saturday of each month. The New York Post named "Family Hour with Auntie Sara" one of the city’s best bets for alternative comedy.

Sara has a degree in Creative Writing from Warren Wilson College in Asheville, N.C. She has an M.A. in Secondary School Education from Teachers College at Columbia University. She’s working on a hilarious book about panic attacks, entitled, "Agorafabulous."
