Sarah Silverman gave her UK stand-up debut over the weekend and proceeded to have her ass booed offstage after only giving a 40-minute performance. Organizers attempted to force Sarah to give a Q&A session which she reluctantly agreed to before bolting, according to BBC News:
After the audience refused to leave, Silverman was forced to give a Q&A session as an encore after admitting she had no other material prepared. Unimpressed fans shouted “you’re over-hyped Sarah” and “I’ve seen longer clips on YouTube”, before the star told the audience to “go home” and then left the stage.
BBC Radio 1 reporter Kev Geoghegan, who was also at the gig, said Silverman looked “clearly mystified” as to why she had to return to the stage after her short set.
“A lot of people who paid £45 a ticket would have been aggrieved,” he told the BBC News website. “For a gig that size of 3,600 people and a first night in London to show people what all the fuss in America is about her, she could’ve done more – she should have been able to fill for another 20 minutes.”
Wait. There’s fuss about Sarah Silverman in America? Ahahahahahaha! But, no, seriously, we’ll trade her for that hot chick who does the Orbit gum commercials. Act now and we’ll throw in Andy Dick.
NOTE: Probably should’ve asked this first: English people still drink a lot, right?

Yes, the London audiences that continue to pay to see Amy Winehouse have excellent taste.
AndresV | October 20, 2008 at 4:18 pm
I used to think she was funny 10 years ago….she’s just stupid and mean now….I’m glad the fans are starting to realize this.
mimi | October 20, 2008 at 4:20 pm
YAY!
Sarah SUCKS!
Britney ROCKS!
Nice boobs tho | October 20, 2008 at 4:22 pm
I never really got why she was funny. I guess they do to.
Mia | October 20, 2008 at 4:28 pm
She can be funny but unfortunately she gets lazy and tries to rely on toliet humor.

Why is my aunt Miriam in the celebrity news???

Jews have been ripping off people for 2,000 years, why stop now?

Maybe jokes like this don’t translate overseas? http://tinyurl.com/3tp6k2
Parker | October 20, 2008 at 4:41 pm
oh yes, the Orbit gum commercial chick. Why’d you have to bring her up? Boy I want to fuck her ass so bad. Soil her reputation with a dick in her butt. “Fabulous!” On the other hand I would be literally terrified to fuck Sarah Silverman up the ass. She’d probably crap on my dick just so she could laugh about it on tv later. She’s a nice person though. Really. She has good teeth, that’s why the Brits don’t like her.
British people suck | October 20, 2008 at 4:41 pm
If she lost 30 pounds and developed oozing sores all over her face, they’d love her.
CaptainMorgan | October 20, 2008 at 4:43 pm
I’m surprised she didn’t claim there was a language barrier. She wasn’t in America…do they speak english outside of America?
Peach | October 20, 2008 at 4:47 pm
BBC Radio 1 d.j. Chris Moyles was there and said that when she came back out a man in the audience asked her to sing one of her songs but she didn’t know the words and had to be prompted when she tried to sing it… by the audience!
The thing is people here do like and get her, which is why they paid the money (more or less $77). We do, however, expect more than a pathetic 40 minutes for our money.
Cream | October 20, 2008 at 4:55 pm
#12 – so, 77 dollars…that’s what, 5 pounds?

She was a right muffin getting into that row.

If Obama wins, I say we get together a posse and gang-rape the shit outta her.

who wants to have sex with that ugly dog?
bbingo | October 20, 2008 at 5:17 pm
for a nation that gave the world cynicism, the monty pythons, eccentricity and sarcasm, Sarah should thank her PR guys for pulling this crowd. Her humor is so stupid and passé she makes pub quizzes look like a fun night out.
NY Ted | October 20, 2008 at 5:20 pm
Funny…??? Crazy Limey bastards…you can hoodwink them into paying for anything American. I find Silverman about as funny has having 10 root canals without freezing before they put you into the electric chair to fry your ass to hell!
Rough Daddy | October 20, 2008 at 5:23 pm
Why go abroad, when we can get away with anything here!!!
Pat | October 20, 2008 at 5:23 pm
You know, John has an excuse, he can’t help it – it’s a common condition for people his age. But the rest of you McCain supporters need to stop wetting your pants. We’ll have an election. It’ll be America before the election. It’ll be America after the election. We’ve done this many times and the world has never ended. Now, as the British would say, go get a nice hug from Mum and you’ll feel lots better.
GWB | October 20, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Why go abroad when we’re listening in to your phone calls there, too!!!
Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh!!!!

fuck you fish. i had to go to geekologie to get the updated stories for the superficial. that damn madonna story is all that shows up at the top of my page, even when i refresh. you’re in fucking cahoots.
eyepopper | October 20, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Since when did Yanks know anything about humour…they can’t even spell the fucking word.
fuhgettabowdit | October 20, 2008 at 5:47 pm
I guess cursing and saying stupid things doesn’t pass for humor in the rest of the world. I’m sure there are still a few retards in America who will pay to see an ugly woman stand on stage and say a few crude things. I wouldn’t really consider her routine to be bathroom or toilets humor, because her “jokes” aren’t humorous at all.

If you spent less time putting unnecessary u’s into words you’d have more time to brush your teeth.
Cynthia | October 20, 2008 at 6:08 pm
She’s one of the most untalented semi-celebrities out there. She’s gotten to the middle by sucking a LOT of cock. Her routines go something like this: “Blacks are lazy. Hispanics don’t bathe. Jews love money. I lick jelly off my boyfriend’s penis. I was raped by (fill in the blank). I fuck (fill in the blank). I poop. I fart. I’m a cute girl”. Hilarious, right? Wrong! Read any article about her or any interview she’s done and it’s obvious that she’s mentally ill. Mentally ill and very, very unfunny.
Deacon Jones | October 20, 2008 at 6:11 pm
I must admit I am a self-loathing Jew. In fact, I love Sarah Silverman, and unlike all other Jewish People I’ve heard about, I have a tiny penis. I’m sorry for making a prejudiced, bigoted remark such as the one I did before. May Sarah Silverman shart in my mouth and may I love every peanut/corn kernel splattering second of it. Did I mention I practically have no penis at all and love watching white power nazi’s screw each other vigorously in each other’s bumholes?? Yep, the Deacon is gayer than Richard Simmons. Btw, anyone have a scone I could choke to death on, G-D knows I surely deserve a righteous beatdown.

I hope you’re an aspiring actor in L.A. Uncle Sam because if not you can’t talk about clean teeth.
Toolboy | October 20, 2008 at 6:22 pm
Dear England-
Sorry about the Sarah Silverman thing, but we owed you for the Russell Brand VMA show. can we just call it even and get back to drinking?
Janeane The Acerbic Goblin | October 20, 2008 at 6:28 pm
She’s not particularly funny. Her shock value has worn off rather quickly.
I think most of her male fans just want to f*** her. They’re not there because of her sparkling wit and superior intelligence.

i’m a dirty jew so i support everything jew, even if it’s shitty, like silverman. ha ha ha

Here # 27, I’ll help you loath yourself a little more. That’s quite an admission that you have no penis. Is that why rabbis suck baby boy’s dicks?
You Losers | October 20, 2008 at 6:47 pm
WTF? She’s a woman and she tells crude jokes. How could anyone not find that funny?
woman + crude jokes = funny

They could just fuck a horse and it would be the same thing
Here ya go | October 20, 2008 at 6:51 pm
The shock value thing doesn’t work for me. Try being funny instead

The simplified language you dipshits use is called American English. English speakers owned your asses for a long time. None of you americans have a proper identity and that’s why you spend most of your time trying to rule the rest of the world.
If you think the English language sucks, make up your own. Don’t just continue to speak ours whilst bastardizing it by cutting out letters because too many of them together gets you all confusikins.
Jamie's Uterus | October 20, 2008 at 7:02 pm
There is no fuss over this unfunny loser. Or should I say Aunt Mitzi? She looks like an old Yenta.
Chauncey Gardner | October 20, 2008 at 7:16 pm
#38,
Uh, I hate to tell you this in the middle of your anti-American tirade, but the English spoken in England is continually being bastardized by the English. In fact, all an English person has to do is go to another part of England and he/she may not even understand what the other person is saying because of the accent and colloquialisms. And let’s not even get into fucking Scotland…
susan | October 20, 2008 at 7:25 pm
That is one ugly blouse.

Chauncey
if this was the time before the middle ages you would have a point but as it is you can go to any part of the UK and we all speak the same language, spell the words the same and understand each other.
If you don’t then that’s down to you and you should stop watching anything with British accents in it and never come here.
My god you Yanks had to subtitle Oasis.
Just how poor is your grasp of English.
Alexandra | October 20, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Wow, the British actually realize Sarah Silverman is not funny. I’m moving to London ASAP
Spector | October 20, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Isn’t the point the set was too short and she was poorly prepared for a 3,600 seat show? Fuck her, people want to be entertained for their money.
venomhed | October 20, 2008 at 9:32 pm
RIGHT ON!
She is worthless. Yet another fucking jew that gets in the biz because she is
A. Jewish
B. Knows someone high up in Hollywood.
God she is so unfunny and ugly.

Sarah Silverman is hot. Her comedy, not so much.

she looks like some sort of Mary Poppins look-alike reject

Wait, what?
Sarah Silverman funny?
When the hell did that happen?
JollyJumJuck | October 21, 2008 at 12:00 am
She looks pretty awful in the first picture. Almost as much of a hag as Madonna.
