About

Sarah Silverman is a two-time Emmy Award-winning comedian, actress, writer, and producer. She currently hosts her weekly podcast, the critically acclaimed The Sarah Silverman Podcast, available on iTunes and wherever podcasts are available. She can next be seen as the host of TBS' Stupid Pet Tricks, an expansion of the famous David Letterman late night segment. She recently wrapped production on Netflix's Maestro, a biopic on the life of composer Leonard Bernstein. She will star opposite Bradley Cooper as Bernstein's sister Shirley. Other upcoming projects include the indie psychological thriller Viral, starring alongside Blair Underwood. This past Spring, Silverman's off-Boadway musical adaptation of her 2010 memoir "The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee" had a sold-out run with the Atlantic Theatre Company. Silverman previously hosted the Emmy and Writers Guild-nominated Hulu series I Love You, America. She continues to lend her voice to several animated series, including Bob's Burgers. On stage, Silverman continues to cement her status as a force in stand-up comedy. In May 2017, she released her latest standup special, A Speck of Dust, on Netflix, culminating in two Emmy Award nominations and a Grammy Award nomination. In 2013, she debuted her hour-long HBO standup special Sarah Silverman: We Are Miracles, which earned her the 2014 Primetime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special." The special received an additional Primetime Emmy Awards nomination that year for "Outstanding Variety Special" in addition to a Writers Guild Awards nomination. In September 2014, Silverman released the special as an audio album through Sub Pop Records, which went on to receive a 2015 Grammy Awards nomination for "Best Comedy Album." Previously, Silverman made an impressive splash with her concert-meets-comedy film Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic, which garnered significant attention at TIFF. In the film world, Silverman was most recently seen opposite Emma Stone and Steve Carell in the critically-acclaimed film Battle of the Sexes, which was based on the true story of the 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs. She also starred in I Smile Back, the film adaptation of the Amy Koppelman novel. The drama premiered at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival and was later released by Broad Green Pictures in theaters. Silverman received much praise for her role as "Laney Brooks," culminating in a 2016 Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for "Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role." Her additional film credits include Marry Me, The Book of Henry, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, Ashby, A Million Ways to Die in the West, Take This Waltz, Gravy, Peep World, I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With, The School of Rock, There's Something About Mary, The Way of The Gun. Silverman also lent her voice as "Vanellope" in the Oscar-nominated smash hit Wreck It Ralph and Golden Globe-nominated Wreck it Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet. Silverman was nominated for a 2009 Primetime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series" for portraying a fictionalized version of herself in her Comedy Central series, The Sarah Silverman Program. This marked Comedy Central's first-ever Emmy nomination in a scripted acting category. Silverman also received a Writers Guild Award nomination for her work on the show. In 2008, Silverman won a Primetime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics" for her musical collaboration with Matt Damon. Additionally, she was honored with a Webby Award for "Best Actress" for her online video "The Great Schlep," in which she persuaded young kids to encourage their grandparents in Florida to vote for President Obama before the 2008 Presidential Election. Silverman has made memorable guest appearances on several acclaimed and notable television shows, including Monk, which earned her a 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards nomination for "Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series."

    Handsy Security Guard

    by +++ on 2023-03-20Meridian Hall - Toronto

    While our venue had an understandable no re-entry policy after the show, my group got split with some waiting inside and some outside, and there was no signage explaing this policy. A girlfriend walked back in the door to try and reconnect our group and was physically removed from the location without any verbal explanation (technically an assault). This left her very shaken afterwords and we spent our evening reasuring her insted of talking about the comedy we had just seen. Perhaps some signs could help, or better training of security staff so their first response isn't to physically move people without their awareness or consent.

    Great show, terrible FOH experience

    by JM on 2023-03-16Meridian Hall - Toronto

    Sarah and the Opener were great! Exactly what I had expected coming into the show. What was very disappointing was the front of house experience at Meridian Hall. At 10mins before the show, I arrived to a line that went along front street to the St Lawrence Centre. At 10mins after the show started, I was across Scott St on the Meridian Hall side of the street. At 20 mins after the show started, we were getting to the front doors and an answer as to why things took so long. Meridian Hall was doing security checks at the door (metal detector wand, and pat-downs), with 5 people performing the work. Thousands trying to get into the venue, 5 staff doing pat-downs. It would have been nice to have more FOH staff going up and down the line informing patrons what was going on, lots of folks were upset that the show had already started, so word from the venue would have been appreciated. More staff performing the security checks would be ideal as well. Great show, but a terrible experience with the Meridian Hall FOH staff.

    Funny as hell

    by Mike on 2023-03-16Meridian Hall - Toronto

    Silverman's unique comedic voice shined brightly and I couldn't stop laughing. It was everything I'd hoped it would be and more. When a comedian is this talented and experienced, you expect a lot from the show, but a truly great comedian makes the experience surpass your expectations, and Sarah Silverman's performance did just that.

    Comedy review

    by J-man on 2023-03-16Meridian Hall - Toronto

    I am a fan of hers but thought it could definitely have been better, especially for the price of admission. She had good material, too much (American) politics though which took away from the show for me! Had a weird experience with a security person while in line who barged through the line and came right up to me in a very intimidating way, then asked how I was doing and if I knew the time, also heard from other I knew at the show that they witnessed the exact same thing with same guy amd different people, not cool at all.

    Great show

    by Antonia on 2023-03-16Meridian Hall - Toronto

    Such a good show - Sarah Silverman and Lizz Winstead were hilarious but getting in was a bit of a nightmare. Totally understand the need for security and metal detector checks, but entry seemed really unorganized. Stood outside for ages waiting in line to get in.

    My thoughts on Sarah Silverman Grow Some Lips

    by Kitchen1 on 2023-03-15Meridian Hall - Toronto

    I love Sarah and am an avid listener of her podcast. I was really excited to see the performance. It was just OK. I was surprised to see her walk onstage with her notes and refer to them throughout the hour. Some of her lines were really funny and a lot of them were not. She was a bit self deprecating, as some of the jokes did not go over that well. She also referred to this as a rehearsal for her "special". After paying to see her, I didn't want to feel like a test drive. The "grow some lips" tagline was mentioned at the very end, and really had no significance to the rest of the show. Not sure why she called the performance by this title. Unfortunately, I was less than impressed with the show overall. I still love her as a person though!

    Great Show

    by DrD on 2023-03-15Meridian Hall - Toronto

    Having read some reviews prior to the show I had lowered my expectations but ultimately was thrilled with the performance. Really a great show. I’ll definitely see her again in future.

    Felt like a dress rehersal

    by Brea on 2023-03-15Meridian Hall - Toronto

    Four of us went to see Sarah Silverman because we all love her, but we all left saying "meh". It felt like a dress rehersal... like we were the test crowd for her special. Jokes were okay, many felt incomplete and repetitive. There was no pizzazz, it was her dress down, standing still, with a note pad to reference. If we were a test crowd, it should be stated up front and charged half the price. Disappointing.
