Sarah Silverman to Host Sasquatch!

In another instance of indie-rock/indie-comedy crossover, dirty grrrl comedienne Sarah Silverman will host(ess?) this summer’s Sasquatch! Festival, taking place May 26 - 27 at the Gorge.

I’m rather ambivalent about Silverman’s schlock-and-raw brand of humor. I’ve read some hilarious bits from her in various hipster rags over the years, but last night I ended up watching The Sarah Silverman Program, her brand-new sitcom on Comedy Central, and was pretty meh about it. She’s funnier behind the camera than in front of it.

But Silverman sold out the Showbox last week, so some of you out there must love her.

After Arcade Fire, the Hold Steady and the Thermals, she's the best thing Sasquatch has book.

$56 tkt/day + $40 camping/day + gas for the current lineup, Feh.

I've liked her in small doses in the past. But, man, her show blows chunks, as did her "Jesus is Magic" special.

a recent poll at congregation beau bolero revealed that the members want sarah to give up her jewishness...no mater how casual it might be...not offended by her...it's just that they don't find her talented...kimmel either
