Sarah Silverman (born December 2, 1970) is an American stand-up comedian, actress, and writer. She is sometimes credited as Big S or Sarah 'Big S' Silverman. Her innocent outward appearance and sing-song delivery is in direct contrast to much of her comic material, in which she deals with many controversial topics such as racism, abortion, rape, body hair, scatology, and child abuse, among others. Her comedy-acts are sometimes performed from a caricatured or stereotypical Jewish-American perspective.
