Best Comedy & Stand-up This Winter

in San Francisco

Sarah Silverman at SF Masonic Auditorium

Sarah Silverman

Sarah Silverman embarks on her brand new US tour, 'Sarah Silverman: Postmortem'. She may have become known for her no-holds-barred exploration of taboo subjects, but an incisive and brave performer lives underneath all that controversy. She rose through the stand-up ranks in the 00s, and created her own eponymous Comedy Central show, The Sarah Silverman Program. Be warned though - no subject is taboo for this leading comedian!

Jinkx and DeLa Holiday Show at The Warfield

If you're Nutcracker-phobic then this double act has your alternative holiday entertainment sorted, Jinkx will spice things up and Dela will cover them in sugar!
