The Comedy Icon’s First UK Show in 12 Years Promises Bold, Unfiltered Laughter
Brace yourselves, London—comedy royalty is making a comeback, and it’s about time. The razor-sharp wit of Sarah Silverman is landing back on UK soil for the first time in over a decade, and she’s not holding back. On April 28th, 2025, the two-time Emmy Award-winning comedian will hit the stage at the London Palladium with her brand-new show, Postmortem—a no-holds-barred dive into the messy, hilarious, and painfully relatable world of loss, grief, and everything in between.
Postmortem: Grief, Laughter, and the Unfiltered Genius of Sarah Silverman
When Sarah Silverman steps on stage, expect the unexpected. Known for her fearless ability to tackle society’s trickiest topics with equal parts intellect and irreverence, Silverman’s Postmortem promises a rollercoaster of dark humour, uncomfortable truths, and that signature deadpan delivery that’s kept audiences hooked for over two decades.
This isn’t just another stand-up show—it’s Silverman doing what she does best: turning grief and existential dread into a gut-busting, cathartic experience. Life, death, and all the weird moments in between? She’s got them covered—and she’ll make you laugh through every awkward, uncomfortable second.
From SNL Fame to Global Stardom
In case you need a refresher, Silverman isn’t just any comedian—she’s comedy royalty. After bursting into mainstream recognition as a staff writer and cast member on Saturday Night Live, she became known for her no-holds-barred takes on society’s most taboo topics.
Her last UK gig? A jaw-dropping 12 years ago. Since then, Silverman has racked up an impressive list of accolades. She snagged two Emmys for her stand-up specials and even a Writers Guild Award for her boundary-pushing special Someone You Love—which also picked up nominations for a Grammy, Golden Globe, and Critics’ Choice Award.
Oh, and when she’s not redefining modern comedy? She’s stealing scenes in hit films like Battle of the Sexes (alongside Emma Stone and Steve Carell) and lending her unmistakable voice to animated gems like Wreck-It Ralph and Bob’s Burgers.
The Bedwetter, Bob’s Burgers, and Beyond
Silverman isn’t just known for stand-up. Her off-Broadway adaptation of her memoir, The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee, became an instant hit, proving that her sharp humour translates effortlessly to theatre. And let’s not forget her iconic voice roles that bring an extra layer of depth (and snark) to beloved characters.
From critically acclaimed acting roles to her reputation as one of comedy’s most fearless voices, Silverman consistently pushes the envelope—and Postmortem is set to be no different.
