Sarah Silverman's humor refuses to be caged. Sure, Silverman knows where the line is and she walks right up to it ... and then leaps over. That's why we love her.
Silverman, who performs at 8 p.m Sunday, March 27 at the Riverside, won an Emmy for f*cking Matt Damon -- well, at least for the hilarious video and song -- and she's made a film called "Jesus is Magic." Plus, she's the star of the eponymous Comedy Central show, "The Sarah Silverman Program," and has a new book called "Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption and Pee."
Because we feared that you may be a quart low on sass in your life, we teamed with the Riverside to give away tickets to see Silverman. Five lucky winners -- and their guests -- are going to see Sarah for free.
Thanks contestants for playing and stay tuned for more giveaways on OnMilwaukee.com! In the meantime, see Silverman tonight on Conan.
