Comedian Finds Happiness in Embracing Her Hometown
2 Nov
Summary
- Sennott created, produced, and wrote a new comedy series
- Sennott was inspired to love a place, rather than a person
- Sennott used to frequently move back to New York but now prefers staying in L.A.
As of November 2nd, 2025, comedian and writer Sam Sennott has created a new comedy series that draws inspiration from her personal journey of learning to embrace her hometown. Sennott, who serves as the creator, producer, and writer of the show, told Variety last month that she used to have a tendency to move back to New York whenever she felt unhappy, thinking it was the solution to her problems.
"I've always had this thing where if I'm feeling unhappy, I'm like, 'I need to move and change everything,'" Sennott explained. "Anytime I would go back to New York for work, I would be like, 'This is what I need to be doing.' I need to break up with my boyfriend and move back and drink every night.' And then I would do that for a week and be like, 'Wait a second. I need to go back to L.A. and be in my backyard.'"
However, Sennott has since learned to find contentment in her home base of Los Angeles, a shift that has now inspired her first major solo project. The new comedy series, which is set to be released soon, reflects Sennott's personal growth and her newfound appreciation for the place she once felt the need to escape.
