SARAH SILVERMAN

» A SPECK OF DUST (NETFLIX) At 47 years old, Silverman is pretty much the grande dame of women comics. Her “wink, wink, I’m a clueless Jewish girl” persona is still confident, and over the years it has evolved to be more inclusive. She punches higher now, from selfawareness and growing older: “There are jokes I made 15 years ago that I would absolutely not make today, because I am less ignorant than I was,” she admits in an interview with The

Guardian. This special highlights all to love about her: the sarcasm, the blue humour, her rapport with the audience, and (spoiler alert!) a killer drunksister joke that just slays. Good one: “I had a dog for many, many years. And he was my best friend. And I was always talking to him. Whenever I was home, I was talking to him. And then he died, and I stopped talking to him. Makes sense. Or does it?”
