Without You I'm Nothing is the name of the second record released by comedienne and singer Sandra Bernhard. It was released at the height of her career and is a live performance recording that was issued on double-cassette, double-compact -isc and double-vinyl in 1987; it was later re-released on double-compact-disc and made available for sale on Bernhard's own website. The re-release condensed the material from the original two discs onto one disc, and included a second disc of bonus material. The original release once fetched upwards of $300 at auction due to the fact that a then-unheard-of Tori Amos is featured singing backing vocals on the track "Little Red Corvette," a cover of the song by Prince. As Amos' popularity waned, these prices dropped considerably.

The recording combines what became Bernhard's trademark combination of live music performance and witty, sarcastic comedy. The recording contains material from Bernhard's award-winning one-woman show of the same name. The show was also turned into a film; for information on the movie, see "Without You I'm Nothing".
