Sarah Silverman
What can't Sarah Silverman do? Talk about a multi-hyphenate — she's a world-renowned, multi-award winning stand-up comedian and an actress who narrowly missed an Oscar nomination for her dramatic turn in 2015's I Smile Back. She also had a hit eponymous sitcom on Comedy Central in the mid 2000s; and she is even Philip J. Fry's ex-girlfriend! Silverman is currently engaged with the “Grow Some Lips” stand-up tour, which hits Madison for a night. Expect her effortless, charming musings on the state of the world, a vulnerable openness not seen in early works, and a raunchy bit about her bits, probably.
$69.50-$39.50.
