Sarah Kate Silverman (born December 1, 1970) is a Jewish American stand-up comedian, actress, and writer. While usually credited as Sarah Silverman, she is sometimes credited by her nickname Big S or Sarah 'Big S' Silverman. Sarah attended Derryfield School in Manchester, New Hampshire for high school and lived in Bedford, New Hampshire.
Her comedy deals with topical humor and satire, mild or serious societal taboos, and controversial topics such as racism, sexism, and religion.
Her comedy acts are sometimes performed from a caricatured or stereotypical Jewish-American princess perspective, in which, according to Village Voice writer Michael Musto, she mocks bigotry and ethnic or religious group stereotypes by ironically embracing them. Silverman stars in and produces the The Sarah Silverman Program, which debuted February 1, 2007 on Comedy Central.
