Sarah Silverman was absolutely amazingly funny. She always was and always will be. Definitely recommended. If she ever comes to town again, I will definitely go see her again.
Its hard not to like Sarah Silverman. She's cute, she's funny, she's smart.We were really excited to see her and get some great laughs. She had some good bits, however, a couple of her subjects were completely inappropriate. We found her jokes about rape, child molestation and 'shaved' infants were offensive and insensitive. Not only were they likely offensive to victims/survivors of such abuses, but likely gave perpetrators an endorsement that their behaviors and crimes are mainstream.
We expected this to be as funny as she is on her shows, and we were pretty disappointed. Felt like we wasted our money. It was really slow, and wasted a lot of time referring to the audience in the front row. We wanted to see a funny Sarah Silverman- not this time I guess-
Sarah is fantastic! She was just as funny as her hilarious stand-up movie that came out a few years ago.
I bought these tickets for my husband since he likes Sarah Silverman. We both had a great time and really enjoyed the show.
Hilarous show!!! Don't show up late if you're sitting in the front she'll call u out on it. Thanks Sarah, we'll be watching for you to return to Chicago.
Sarah was great! Love her! Wish there were more stalls in the bathroom!
Sarah is HOT, funny, and sexy. Her humor is not for everyone, but, if you enjoyed her show, or other movies, you will not want to miss her! Laughs all around!
She is funny on shows or in interviews, but her stand up was completely boring and NOT FUNNY!
This was a great show! Todd Glass (opening act) was great, but Sarah killed it! She took on the idiot heckler like a pro, and she gave the late arrivals a hard time too. LOVED IT!!!
Although Sarah looked great, he set seemed unplanned and sporadic. A drunk guy in the front row was distracting her, eventually getting him thrown out of the theater... but I think it threw the whole show off. I would go to see her again, but left this performance a little disappointed.
It was the first time I had ever seen Sarah live and loved it. I figured I was in for a great night and she did not disappoint. She is a true professional and never misses a beat. Even while side tracked by the audience. On more than one occasion she diverted from the "script" if you will. Either from heckling or of her own doing....only to come right back on cue. I am glad That this was my first comic experience.
"I remembered something for the first time since it happened...." The show started off with Todd Glass opening for Sarah and I thought that he was pretty funny. Sarah came out and of course stole the show. I thought that she was hilarious. I felt that the experience was personal compared to other comedians I have seen. Towards the end of Sarah's set her and Todd Glass did a Q & A session with the audience which I wasn't expecting. The final question a lady asked if Sarah could perform her song that she sang in the old folk's home on her show so she ended the show with that performance and it was great. The only thing that sucked was A) I didn't get to meet her and B) We weren't "allowed" to take pictures during the show...
Her opening act, Todd Glass, was just mediocre - he waited far too long for audience reaction. When Ms. Silverman finally did grace the stage, she seemed preoccupied with goings-on in the audience, to the point where she was letting it distract from her act. Her part of the show barely lasted an hour. I know she was taping for an upcoming special, which will probably be an hour long, but you'd think she could have given us a bit more for our money. I would not go see her again, nor would I recommend going to any of my friends. Not awful, but just not good enough to make me want to spend the $$$.
sarah silverman is one of the funniest women currently in comedy. though her humor may not be for everyone, if you're a fan you will not be disappointed in the least.
I needed a night to just laugh so bad and Sarah did not disappoint. Very funny.
My girlfriend and I laughed our butts off as soon as she started talking....Love her!!!!
HILARIOUS!!!! Sarah is so funny and personable! love her!
Sarah was not that funny. She is funnier on Howard stern. Waste of money
Sarah was on her game as usual and her opening act comedian was very funny too.
