Silverman speaks her mind
Related Articles
31 July 2008
Silverman is an attractive young Jewish American who has been compared to Lenny Bruce for her daring comedy. She makes jokes about the holocaust, race, sex and religion during this stand-up show, augmented by some so-so songs and by fictional scenes of her family life where Mum and Dad try to come to terms with her daring.
Her comic persona is that of a clueless and politically incorrect hipster who says terrible things without being aware of their shock value. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. That was also true of Bruce, but he was much sharper and more dangerous at his best.
