Sarah Silverman
Sarah Kate Silverman is an Emmy-winning American comedian, writer, singer, guitarist, and actress. Although usually credited as Sarah Silverman, she is sometimes credited by her nickname, Big S. Her satirical comedy addresses social taboos and controversial topics such as racism, sexism, and religion. She often performs her act as a caricature of a Jewish-American princess, mocking bigotry and stereotypes of ethnic groups and religious denominations, by endorsing them ironically. Silverman was first noticed as a writer and occasional performer on Saturday Night Live. She now stars in and produces The Sarah Silverman Program, which debuted February 1, 2007, on Comedy Central.
3 Books Written
From the outrageously filthy and oddly innocent comedienne and star of the powerful 2015 film I Smile Back Sarah Silverman comes a memoir—her first book—that is at once shockingly personal, surprisingly poignant, and still pee-in-your-pants funny. In this collection of humorous essays, Sarah Silverman tells tales of growing up Jewish in New Hampshire, losing her virginity, learning to curse at 3 years old, and being a bedwetter until she was old enough to drive, and in a surprisingly poignant piece, she recounts the accidental death of her infant brother. Of course, in her loopy, taboo-breaking way, she always manages somehow to leave you laughing. But then you’d expect nothing less from a woman who sang to her boyfriend on national television that she was “F***ing Matt Damon.” If you like Sarah’s television show The Sarah Silverman Program , or memoirs such as Chelsea Handler’s Are You There Vodka? It’s Me Chelsea and Artie Lange’s Too Fat to Fish , you’ll love The Bedwetter .
A book of life lessons delivered the way only Comedy Central can, this guide is sure to generate raised eyebrows from the Chicken Soup for the Soul crowd . While other books offer feel-good inspiration about leading a full and happy life, foulmouthed sweetheart Sarah Silverman’s crass, narcissistic, and oblivious lifestyle tips will take the self-help genre to a new level. With their unique perspective on life, the equally inappropriate voices of Laura, Brian, and all the characters from the hit show will chime in to cover life’s stepping stones: discovery, relationships, awareness, desire, and growth. Welcome to Sarah Silverman’s world!
