  In Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic; Silverman entertains a Los Angeles audience with several sketches taped outside the theatre and interwoven into stand-up performance. The central comedic themes throughout the film include race sex and religion. Silverman's comic persona is that of a self-centred hipster brash and clueless about her political incorrectness. A handful of highly ironic and entertaining musical numbers punctuate her performances. The original stage version of the show played in front of sold-out audiences in New York City and Los Angeles. The LA Times called Jesus Is Magic savagely effective as ruthlessly provocative as anything since the heyday of Lenny Bruce. Liam Lynch the fast rising video and film director whose credits include the hit movie Tenacious D In: The Pick Of Destiny collaborated with Silverman to adapt her show to the big screen. The film also stars Bob Odenkirk Brian Posehn and Silverman's comedian/actor sister Laura Silverman along with Silverman's musical band The Silver Men. Despite the current political climate in Jesus Is Magic Silverman tackles such pitch-black topics as September 11th unwanted body hair the Holocaust old age and spins them into decidedly un-politically correct comedic gold. Since Jesus Is Magic was released in America and her television series has become a critically acclaimed hit Silverman's popularity is making its way to the UK. Her appetite for outrageous comedy was recently validated by hilarious exchange of YouTube videos between her and boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel host of the popular weeknight U.S. chat show The Jimmy Kimmel Show.
