Bedroom Eyes

Richard Sarvate has the soft-spoken cadence of an office worker trying not to draw attention in an elevator, which makes his turn toward personal messiness work surprisingly well. The central premise hinges on the mismatch between his face and his personality: he has natural bedroom eyes that read as seductive, even when he is just trying to survive a meeting or order food.

That contrast carries across the 42-minute set. A former Silicon Valley software engineer, Sarvate approaches grim topics with analytical calm, moving from dating-app exhaustion to eating magic mushrooms with Raisin Bran. The most memorable stretch deals with his mother’s schizophrenia—a topic that would derail a louder comic, but here gets treated with ordinary, domestic matter-of-factness.

Directed by Charlie Fonville and Jack Vaughn, the set was released by Comedy Dynamics in 2025. Having previously taped a clean half-hour for Dry Bar Comedy, Sarvate uses the uncensored runtime to lean into stranger territory, arguing against dating men with abs and questioning the traffic safety of roadside intimacy.
