It’s no joke: Sarah Silverman is coming to Stanford.

The oft-politically incorrect, oft-raunchy comedian will perform stand-up and take questions from the audience on May 20 at Memorial Auditorium.

“Sarah Silverman has a provocative edge to her comedy because nothing is taboo,” said Justin Liu ‘07, director of the ASSU Speakers Bureau — which is sponsoring the event — in a press release. “With that in mind, she’s undoubtedly one of the funniest comedians out there.”

Silverman has exploded onto the national scene in recent years, starring in Comedy Central’s “The Sarah Silverman Project” and the blockbuster films “The Aristocrats” and “Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic.”

Tickets will be distributed to students and faculty for free in White Plaza the week before Silverman’s visit. General admission tickets will be sold online for $15 each.

In addition to the ASSU Speakers’ Bureau, the Jewish Students Association, ASSU Sunday FLiCKS, the Stanford Comedy Club and Stanford Students in Entertainment are cosponsoring Silverman’s visit.
