Is it fair to call Amy Sedaris a modern Renaissance Woman? Sure, she has a few cult comedy series under her belt such as Strangers with Candy and The Heart, She Holler, but she’s far more than just a comedienne. She may just be a domestic goddess.
At Home with Amy Sedaris is sort of what would happen if Martha Stewart Living became a full-fledged variety show. Sure, Sedaris brings the jokes and japes she’s built a brand on. But there’s far more than laughs offered here. In between the surreal comedy there are occasionally fantastic homemaking tips, spanning everything from entertaining, crafts, and even cooking.
Here’s everything you need to know to stream At Home with Amy Sedaris.
What is At Home with Amy Sedaris?
The surreal comedy/homemaking show combines two of Amy Sedaris’ loves. Growing up in Raleigh, North Carolina, in the ’60s and ’70s, Sedaris frequently watched programs such as At Home with Peggy Mann and The Bette Elliot Show, which inspired the show’s initial concept. The show’s vintage look is incredibly deliberate, inspired by popular entertainers of the era such as Lawrence Welk and Dinah Shore. When Sedaris conceived of the show some 20 years ago, it was originally going to be a spoof of Martha Stewart and similar personalities.

What the critics are saying
- “It’s a heartfelt, crackpot homage, with an independent creative vision…to call the show “quirky” would be lazy, especially when the word “demented” is sitting right there. It’s a homemaker’s talk show elaborated as a Dadaist Carnival.” –Troy Patterson, The New Yorker
- “The absurdity of this series underlines the absurdity in striving for domestic perfection. Which, in its way, is as comforting as the messages conveyed on any other home-makeover or baking show. But above all else, the main selling point of At Home With Amy Sedaris is that it’s just plain strange as hell.” –Jen Chaney, Vulture
