October 22, 200817 yr US comedian Sarah Silverman was heckled on stage during her UK stand-up debut in London. Fans, who had paid about £50 a ticket, slow hand clapped and shouted they wanted their money back after the star's short 40-minute set. 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. The comedian has her own show on US cable TV network Comedy Central. 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 the left the stage. Reviewers from comedy websites and national newspapers were also left underwhelmed by Silverman's set at the Hammersmith Apollo, which "fizzled out" by the end. Honestly....i have never found her to be all that funny. (though i admit....it was funny when she Fu*ked Matt Damon)

October 22, 200817 yr I'm glad I am not alone in finding Sarah Silverman 100% contrived and not funny.
October 22, 200817 yr My thought was they were fools for expecting anything from a stand up act by her.
October 22, 200817 yr Sarah Silverman + Jay Mohr = an offspring that is so unfunny that the Apocalypse will kill itself.

October 22, 200817 yr I always thought she was OK, but I'm with the rest of you who think she's getting way overrated lately
October 22, 200817 yr I think her stand up is brilliant. I love crude/offensive humor The Brits have different tastes, Russell Brand is their number one act. While I find him to be very witty and charming in interviews, his stand up is kind of disappointing
