Sarah Silverman is currently enjoying success on YouTube with her Great Schlep viral rap that encourages Jewish people to go and visit their grandparents in Florida and convince them to vote for Barack Obama (the premise being that nana and poppa were responsible for Al Gore losing there in 2000). The viral showcases exactly what Silverman is about: saying the unsayable but with such charm and allure that it doesn't feel wrong to laugh. Silverman will be making her full UK debut this weekend, performing her Jesus Is Magic set. And, though she deals with the same taboos and sacred cows explored by lesser comics, when Silverman speaks you can't help but listen and laugh.
