Sasheer Zamata’s debut comedy album Pizza Mind was released on iTunes, Apple Music, SiriusXM, Spotify and all other digital retailers earlier today. CD and vinyl releases will follow in July.
Pizza Mind first debuted as a full-length comedy special on the streaming service Seeso in March of this year. Today’s album release comes courtesy of Comedy Dynamics, the largest independent producer and distributor of stand-up comedy specials in the U.S.
Zamata’s Pizza Mind is a collection of stories and material from the comedian’s work over the years. Throughout the special, which incorporates song, sketches and a whole lot of stand-up, the Saturday Night Live veteran can be heard discussing everything from her experiences with racism to working at Disney World and more. “I’m very proud of Pizza Mind,” aid Zamata in a press release, “and I’m so excited for people to see work that is undeniably me.”
Fans of Zamata are likely bummed to have heard the recent news that the writer-performer would not be returning to SNL next season. The news came back in late May and was one of three significant departures — Vanessa Bayer and Bobby Moynihan — announced within a one week period from the late night sketch series.
