Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic is a 2005 comedy written by Sarah Silverman. It is notable for its edgy jokes and comedic

style. It was directed by Liam Lynch and distributed by Roadside Attractions.

The movie is a concert film consisting of 72 minutes of clips taken from Silverman's previous stand-up show of the same name,

Holocaust, race, sexism, political parties, the disabled, the homeless, and midgets. Silverman also performs several original

songs in the film.

The film was released November 11, 2005 in eight theatres. Receiving positive reviews, it made just under $125,000 opening
