SYNOPSIS:
Sarah Silverman has been compared to the legendary Lenny Bruce, and is known as one of the funniest and most provocative people in comedy. Despite the current political climate, in JESUS IS MAGIC she takes on such pitch-black topics as September 11th, unwanted body hair, and the Holocaust, and spins them into decidedly un-PC comedic gold.
BIO:
